Discrimination against race, gender, religion, or other social characteristics is occurring in all parts of the United States almost every day. Unfortunately, the U.S. has a history of extreme case of discrimination, which has evoked controversy and in worse cases, violence. To discourage any more of adverse discernment towards certain individuals, the Federal government has imposed legislation called affirmative action. According to At Issue: Affirmative Action, “Affirmative action is designed to promote access to opportunities in education, employment, housing, and government contracts among certain designated groups, such as women and minorities“ (At Issue). This law is necessary in today’s society in order to maintain equality and

There were a large “series of federal court decisions, culminating in the high court’s Franks v. Bowman Transportation decision in 1976, prohibited affirmative action in layoffs” (Dennis Deslippe). Dennis is a highly regarded associate professor of Women's, Gender, and Sexual studies at Franklin and Marshall College. He has devoted his whole life to studying equality within the United States and its effects. His writing prompt ideas that the United States government realized through a court case exhibits how ineffective the affirmative action really was and this proposes that affirmative action was not necessary for society, especially in a time of need for the American citizens. The United States government were not the only ones to push against this idea. There were Jewish American organizations that “took the lead in lobbying government officials to abandon policies,” and argued that “not only violated individual rights but might also revive quotas like the ones that kept racial and religious minorities out of the nation’s most prestigious institutions through the mid-twentieth century”(Dennis Deslippe). The court systems at the time were not the only ones to notice just how unjust the affirmative action plans were. Every day people came to rise up in a voice against these laws that went against the Bill of Rights. Which is examined when Allan

Jewish Americans: Seems as if the government is trying to ignore the discriminations we are facing. Either that or they aren’t aware of it, but that seems hard to believe

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is a federal Law that prohibits employers from discriminating against employees on the grounds of sex, race, color, national origin and religion (www.aauw.org). Thus far in our lectures we have discussed the strategies used by various minority groups who have been discriminated against in violation of Title VII. There has been land mark decisions made from the hard fought fights by, African Americans, Women, Mexicans and Jewish alike. Their challenges of non-compliance and enforcement of Title VII brought successes that didn’t come without sacrifice, division and in some cases physical harm.

Throughout history African Americans and other minorities have been discriminated against by people in the position of power. In the article “Woman Says She Endured 8 Days In Psych Ward Because Cops Didn't Believe BMW Was Hers” written in the Huffington Post by Christopher Mathias. Talks about how a women named Kamilah Brock is suing the city of New York, because she was arrested by the cops without cause and put in to a psych ward for eight day. All because she was an African American female driving a BMW. This article shows how people in positions with a bit of power will use it to enforce stereotypes that they believe in and as well as how no one will really question their actions. Most notably this article shows the continued of discrimination

Can you imagine a town in the world where people are not prejudiced against other races? Longtown, Ohio is one of the only communities in America to be considered tri-racial. The people here are using their their mixed heritages in order to avoid having biased opinions against each other.

Racial “passing” occurred as a way that people of one race found refuge by identifying with another race. “Passing,” at one time common for blacks, has been a practice that Jews, Native American, and Europeans used as a mean to survive. However, “passing” is a deception and fraud, enabling a person to adopt certain identities from which one is barred by prevailing social standards. Today, although racial “passing” is scarce, in terms of sexuality it is still prevalent. Prejudices imposed on blacks and other races are now directed toward homosexuals, bisexual, and transgendered. This kind of discrimination is also directed at the poor. Those in the lower-class may give the image of being in a higher class by having some of the latest technology,

Members of the community may need to walk a longer distance if they stay in an area that is not near a bus route. The neighborhood I stay in has about six bus stops, all within a five to ten minute walk from my apartment. The bus stops offer little protection from adverse weather or even a bench to sit on while waiting for the bus. I can image the difficulties a person in poor health, a person caring for small children, or an older adult may have while waiting on a bus. According to the GTA website, only the most frequently used bus stops will have a bench and shelter for those waiting (Greensboro Transit Authority, 2017). While some stops are not the most accommodating, the bus does have a high tech feature that lowers the bus closer to the ground for the passengers that need extra assistance, and the front of the bus reserve seats for handicap passengers.
