Change in America

One of the most frequent cases of racial profiling would have to take place in our nation’s airports. The airport security teams have a tendency of targeting those whose ethnic background is not of Caucasian descent. In recent years, you cannot even take a trip with your family without running the risk of having an obtrusive body scan or being patted down by a complete stranger if they are wary of your nationality. All while Little Johnny and Suzy Smith are welcome to continue on with their trip

It is 2014 and since the beginning of the millennium there has been a major shift in America’s political ideology and demographics, more so than in any set period of time. America which has historically been very conservative, has started to become more liberally made evident by the results of the last two elections. Although America’s government is based on a less centralized system and free market, Americans have seemed to start embracing things like big government and a stricter market. Americans are also starting to think different on social issues such as homosexuality and drug usage. America has also experienced a change in its demographics as minorities like Asians and Hispanics continue to grow while whites are, percentage wise, starting to make up a smaller part of Americas population. Along with a shift in ideology and change in demographics, technology and communication has advanced greatly making the world a much more connected place. Because of this connectivity people are also beginning to be influenced by foreign ideas that are not familiar to most Americans such as universal healthcare. Overall, because of factors such as foreign influences due to technology and changing demographics, America has become less conservative and more liberal.

Since the fight for liberty from Europe, the political system of the United States had change for good. The United States had made improvement in their government structure to make the country a better place. The country has being affected in many different ways since the departure from the mother country. Due to the liberty the American people wanted, they had to make a government that could lead them to a better country than the mother country. The American people had being making many improvements to the government to make a strong self-governed country. The country had had some advantages and disadvantages that lead the country to the government what is today. The political history of Unites States from constitutional convention to

Racial profiling impacts the lives of African Americans, Asians, Latinos, South Asians, and the Arab communities (Persistence of racial and ethnic profiling in the United States: a follow-up report to the U.N. Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination 12). Profiling based on race stems from racism, and has lastingly marked and structured the society of the United States (10). In some aspects, it is considered a violation of human rights; therefore, acts then started to develop (12). For example, the United States introduced the Subsequent End of Racial Profiling Acts to Congress in 2004, 2005, 2007, and 2009, but they

Although racial profiling often times affects blacks more than any other race on a day to day basis, many other races and ethnic groups are faced with racial profiling in more sever situations such as terrorism. Since the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon on September 11, 2001, Arabs and Muslims have been racially profiled

Racial profiling is a huge problem in America today, but in the past it was worse and the internment camps prove so. We have experienced many incidents where someone has been falsely accused of accusations based on race and the outcome was not pleasant. The fact of the matter is that racial profiling is a form of racial prejudice and leads to racially charged hate crimes.The prime example of racial profiling is like the article on the Muslim-American doctor who was picked out of an airplane based on suspicions from other individuals despite the fact that he was as westernized as possible by speaking English and

“ ‘Merika,” land of the free and home of the brave. America is one of the strongest countries in the world, even though we only have the second largest military. I think America needs to change. America needs to change because we need a bigger punishment for rapists and murderers, we need better gun control, and we need a stronger military.

(A) Examples of policy change in America would be the elections. If we elect a new president we create a sense of policy change due to the new president aspiring to accomplish one thing different on their agenda, even if the new president remains in the same political party as the previous president. The campaigning candidates usually listen to their respective public opinion, thus promising certain things in order to get them elected. If the elected president fulfills the wishes of public opinion, then we partake in policy change.

Since the birth of our nation, racial profiling has been an issue longstanding and troubling among minority groups and still continues to exhibit severe consequences in communities.

Every four years, Americans go to the polls and vote. Experts say approximately 23% of America have unregistered voters. Voting is vital. Every single vote counts on election day. The Presidential Election brings out the most Americans. Democratic and Republican parties go head to head in the race to become the nation’s president. In 2008, the presidential hopeful will be Barack Obama. He will provide citizens with affordable healthcare insurance. Obama will give tax breaks to the working class and improve the education systems.

Many people get treated badly because of how they look. This may cause a lot of problems to people because it may not give a chance to a smart guy from a particular place to get to what he wants, because of his race. However, racial profiling does not stop only at education, it also may put an innocent man in jail because of where he come from or how he looks. It is very shocking to know that 80% of American were against racial profiling in 1999, but after what happened in September 11, another study shows that 60% of nation started to approve the racial profiling for some specific nation in the name of the safety (Newman, Brown. 359). That huge change percentage between the years were stabled and built on one personal action which does not

Racial discrimination as gone on for decades in many diverse ways. One sole practice is through racial profiling. Racial profiling is the use of race or ethnicity as grounds for suspecting someone of having committed an offense. And law enforcement has been using it consciously and unconsciously for several years. Racial profiling is untrustworthy because it discriminates people of the minority, especially African Americans.

For example, Muslim people are being targeted cultural profiling because there is a group terrorist group called ISSAS. More than 80% of the members in ISIS are Muslim. Whenever someone sees a Muslim person walking down the street, they will think that person is part of ISIS just because that person is Muslim. According to “RACIAL PROFILING” by ACLU Racial profiling as gone up since September 11 2001 (9/11) due to the terrorist attacks on the twin tower. “Members of Muslim, Arab, and South Asian communities have been profiled by airline personnel, federal law enforcement, and local police.” In addition, racial profiling is casting entire communities as suspect simply from what they look like, where they come from, or what religion they adhere to. It's not just one culture and one group it's affecting many communities of colors. Overall, racial profiling is causing people all over our community to live in fear.

Judging people because of their race has always been a problem in society. A lot of people have to face the consequences of others being raciest and unfair in many ways. Racial profiling can be a problem caused by the environment that people grew up in, which is causing lack of jobs because they get associated with crime and others having insecurities about themselves. There are many other consequences that occur every day because of racial profiling that many people don’t acknowledge.

Racial profiling is an epidemic. It has negatively impacted communities for generations. THe use of race by American police in their policing activities has received much attention across the world. Social media have exploded the daily news people consume and trends are now visible to those that previously didn’t notice it. Countless studies were released on that epidemic and yet, in 2016, nothing seems to have changed. There are those who will support the idea, but quite often, it’s because it doesn’t affect them. While it’s true that African Americans have a particular past with racial profiling in America, it’s has always been much broader experience. Anyone with Arabic look or with Muslim affiliation would be constantly set aside for extra searching and questioning at airports. As a journalist so well explained “People like
