Analysis Of Room For Rent By Richie Narvaez

In the United States minorities are denied equal opportunities based on race and ethnicity in work, housing, and education this should change. They 're labeled and stereotyped based on preconceived notions hurting their image in society we need to start educating the public on how these assumptions are untrue. This treatment violates their constitutional rights by denying their equality highlighting this country 's failure to uphold its promise for a better life. Their race, sex, and ethnicity are still obstacles despite claims, but nothing has been done to improve the lives and treatment of minorities. The term "Race" is a social construct used to categorize groups of people in countries it’s what you claim in important documents like Black, White, or Hispanic. However, this system is the cause of many social issues segregation, injustice, and racism being the most common instances have caused division within the United States. A change needs to happen, but the populace affected by these issues need to take a stand and work to insight change in the country.

We have all sat through multiple history classes and learned about slavery, segregation, and the Civil War. We have all seen brutal movies and presentations based on racial injustices and the lack of equality. So often, we forget that these issues are still so present in our community. Slavery is illegal in the United States but other forms of racial profiling, insensitivity, and racism continue to be a recurring social barrier. Racism is still very much alive. The United States is “equal” yet somehow segregated. There isn’t quite a quick fix to this problem. Clearly, this has been an ongoing issue and requires major progression in our personal global

First of all, I decided to watch the movie Rent, which was based on Jonathan Larson’s Pulizer and his Tony award-winning musical, which has also appeared on Broadway many times. The film and musical are about a group of artists, eight friends, who are living in New York City during the HIV/AIDS epidemic. They each are dealing with different problems in their lives, such as HIV/AIDS, drug addiction, rejection, and poverty. This movie had a very tremendous impact on me, and I was very impressed with how they tied each theme into it. I was moved in a way that it has even effected the way I look at others, and overall at life.

The United States of America is suppose to be the place to pursue the “American Dream”, yet no one never said the path to that dream was going to be easy, especially if you are not white. Minorities in this country are riddled with struggle and barriers that hinder the growth of the people starting from below the bottom. As Berkman and Blunk said in their Thoughts on Class, Race and Prison, “we live in a country where large numbers of people, particularly young Afro-American, Latino and Native American women and men, have been written off by society.” The minority of the United States experience bare minimal surrounded “in a consumer society, [that] if you’ve got nothing, you’re considered to be nothing, and the frustration of this reality leads [minority] people into crimes and drugs” (Berkman & Blunk). Minorities throughout times have faced challenges and persevered for rights in this country, though their rights have been achieved “racial inequality...may linger on for indefinite periods of time after the racial barriers are eliminated” (Wilson).

Yet the road to such freedom is far from sight. The lynching, hate crimes and beatings are still going strong. In addition, racial injustice in the court system, social stereotypes, and racial profiling by police officers are a daily occurrence. Anyone who speaks of present-day “equal opportunity,” the “end” of racism and a sense of “unity” amongst culturally and racially diverse groups are living in a bubble, formed by denial and fabricated by the media. White America, in the hopes of shedding or covering up its racist skin, wants to preach this equality when in fact Blacks in the “United States of America” are still suffering from a society constructed by racist, untrustworthy individuals. Not only are Blacks in the capitalist, assimilations misnomer “United States” continually suffering from physical violence, but we also suffer from institutionalized racism, including judicial bias, policing brutality, media brainwashing and anti-Black stereotypes”( A New African Journal of Culture, Politics & Consciousness (2003).

When it comes to America, in the recently news we have seen racism be a big part of our issues today. We watched what happened to Maryland in their communities, how they began riots in April and started destroying their own communities because of the recently death of a young people like Freddie Gray. The Baltimore Police Department suspended six officers with pay pending an investigation of Gray's

We spend our entire lives trying to figure out who we are, and as much as we all would like to believe we start with a blank slate, that simply isn’t the case. Some of us are born with, albeit slightly hidden, marks of what our history already dictates for us. Racial perception in society has always been a topic of controversy throughout the entire nation. Based on past occurrences, it has been proven that black and brown people as a whole have been oppressed, mistreated, and even wrongfully persecuted based on social stigmas conceived by society. Society today have the wrong ideologies; they believe that a safer environment means locking away individuals that appear to be a menace or danger based on the color of their skin. However, this mentality is flawed because locking up individuals does not promote a change; it only increases hate and eliminates the chance for someone to change their ways and become a better person. In the novel “Citizen” by Claudia Rankins the poem “In Memory of Trayvon Martin”, “The New Jim Crow” by Michelle Alexander, alongside the video situation 6, both conveyed that racism is prevalent in the modern world today as one should take to account the toll of microaggressions on the political and personal standpoint of equality for all colored individuals.

In the United States the issues of race are a fragile issue. African American people have different treatments only because of their skin color. Nowadays in US this problem is shown mostly by the police, young African American men are treated differently only because their skin color, their culture and tradition. This issue did not start recently, but it was there from a long time ago. Starting from the slavery where the right of freedom did not exist for African Americans and until a not so distant past. The race problems were a serious issue, even now this issue is treated with special caution. African Americans are treated differently in a way or another, and this issue has its roots a long time ago, this treatment is often called “separate but equal”. If we look it in the social context this term means that a group of people (black people), is treated differently from others even though that, that group of people (black people), according to documents of human rights has access to public services and has all other legal rights as the other group (white people). To illustrate this with an example, in the late 1950s, African Americans did many protests against the “separate but equal” doctrine. The reason of this

Civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.” It has become more and more apparent that America’s friends have turned against those who are marginalized, brought down by institutions, and treated unfairly both in and out of the system. The statistics reflecting institutional racism are sickening and uneasy to read of but by bringing them to light and showing that they are there, action can take place and be more effective than simply letting these disparities continue to occur and take over the institutions that we otherwise would trust. By looking into various institutions such as schools, prisons, the workplace, medicine, churches and various

According to the Institute on Race and Poverty (IRP) in 2000 a white individual making the same income annually as any other race has a seventy-eight percent chance of owning a home, and only a twenty-two percent chance of having their credit denied on a loan, however, minorities like Blacks and Hispanics have a significantly lower chance of both. (Lawrence, and Keleher 3). In fact, Blacks with those same specifications only have a forty-eight percent chance to own a home, and an astounding forty-five percent chance to have their credit denied on a loan. Meanwhile, Hispanics have a forty-six percent chance to own a home, and a thirty-percent percent chance of having their credit denied. While this may seem overtly discriminatory with just a glance, one must first delve into what those numbers actually mean, and the details went into creating those numbers, as well as take a peek into the institution that created those numbers before jumping to the conclusion that it is empirically racist. Recently, racism has exploded into the spotlight worldwide, and especially in the United States of America with stories of racially motivated police brutality and a supposed “race war” taking center stage. All this coming forty-seven years after Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. sought to end racial tension and racist government

Throughout my life, I have been plagued by racial injustices. These injustices introduced themselves at an early stage in my childhood and have continued to be prevailing issues as my adult life has progressed – racial injustice has never ceased to be something that I have had to concern myself with. It is no secret that racial injustice is prominent in more ways than one, which consequently has had huge impacts on individual people and communities. Although racial injustice has been a problem that has improved in some respects over the years, it still continues to significantly worsen in others. Nevertheless, the fundamental concern amid all of this, is the fact that racial injustice is still a prominent issue in society today. Because of

Racism is a major social problem in the world. It is not restricted to a certain country or society. A lot of times, racism is portrayed in a subtle way. Like how certain races don’t get as much chances to get a good job. Or perhaps how certain races aren’t given an equal social reality than people with different backgrounds get. As an example, it may be harder for someone that is African American to get a job at a rich business than a person who is caucasian. That is the unfortunate reality in a lot of cases. Oscar A. Barbarin, in his book Institutional Racism and Community Competence, discusses and tackles racism in today 's world. Barbarin is the Chair and Professor of the African American Studies Department of

When hearing the words, “African Americans”, “Hispanics”, “Caucasians,” the majority of people in America will generally categorize the traits of these nationalities based upon their roles displayed in the media, books, movies, or even first-hand experience. The actions being made with their associations is stereotyping; defined in the Merriam Webster dictionary as, “[believing] unfairly that all people or things with a particular characteristic are the same,” revealing that even unknowingly, people are allowing nationalities to fall under a list of behavioral, cultural, and moral traits.

Tracey Lien is a contact reporter from Los Angeles Times, in where she wrote an article titled Think you have too many roommate’s? about co-living being a lifestyle option for many young people in this era, ranging from their mid-20’s and mid-30’s. The reason why many people opt for this option is because financially, people find it hard to solvent and buy their own home in locations such as; New York and Southern California due to the major reason that they would have to spend a great percentage of their monthly income. Therefore; Airbnb has been created along with the term of co-living; in which people get to share a residency, helping each other grow as adults.
