Female police officers have been saddled with a stigma ever since they were finally allowed to join their fellow male officers on the force in the 1970’s. It is said that when a female officer is being harsh, she is often called anything other than firm. However, when a male officer is harsh, he is considered firm and just being a man. Female police officers are dubbed incapable of being able to perform their duties equivalent or superior to a male officer simply because she is

White privilege and stereotypes are two ways race can influence a person’s everyday life. White privilege can be defined simply as white people getting special privileges and rights because they are white. This can be seen when a white person gets a job opposed to a person of color or when white people are able to live in nicer neighborhoods while people of color live in crime-ridden ones because white people have more wealth. White privilege has become so normal that most people fail to see it in action. Furthermore, stereotypes can have many harmful effects as well. Stereotypes can be defined as distorted views or inaccurate beliefs about a group of people. Not all stereotypes are bad, but many of them are. An example could be saying that all African Americans are good at sports. However, this is not always the case. Stereotypes may sometimes seem harmless, but these beliefs can impact a person’s life. White privilege and stereotypes are two different concepts, but they both have similar effects that tend to hurt people of color more than they hurt white people. Both of these ideas appear in the 1994 film Forrest Gump, which was directed by Robert Zemeckis. The film depicts white privilege by showing only white people in positions of power, illustrates stereotypes about people of color by having a stereotypical black family, and changes black history by having a white person make achievements that people of color really made.

“A hero is an ordinary person who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.” This quote by Christopher Reeve illustrates overcoming obstacles similar to those described in The Glory Field by Walter Dean Myers. This historical-fiction story is about the Lewises, that all started with Muhammad, who was brought to North America in 1753, as a slave. Numerous traits were passed down from Muhammad to his descendants. Each Lewis is characterized by obstacles they experienced and overcoming: Elijah provides for his family, Luvenia overcomes stereotypes, and Sheppard fights against his drug addiction.

Additionally, another stereotype that is commonly placed around the black race is the greed for sexual pleasure, also known as a Mandingo. Magoon vividly portrays this stereotype in Reverend Sloan. Being one who holds the title Reverend, would imply that they attempt to live life as God like as possible. Ironically, he is the exact opposite. Through his interactions with women, it is quite obvious that Reverend Sloan has a history of affairs. When Kimberly mentions her interactions with Reverend Sloan she regretfully states: “I can’t believe I kissed the Reverend Alabaster Sloan. I watch him on TV again, incredulous. It was reckless and impulsive. Two things that I definitely am not. I am neat and organized, every hair in place” (). By Reverend

After completing the interviews of my subjects and compiling my results, some interesting trends emerge. Firstly, both of the subjects who identified themselves as Southerners were against the removal of the Confederate monuments. Both subjects argued that the monuments were an important part of American history and that they were primarily examples of Southern heritage. Another correlation that was unsurprising was that every subject who saw Confederate monuments as symbols of Southern prejudice supported the removal of the monument. The results showed no clear difference between the answers of students and the answers of teachers. Also, surprisingly, the political affiliations of the subjects did not seem to have a clear correlation with

Once the cult was discovered at Jonestown, there was a tape that Jones recorded during the time the People’s Temple was going to commit suicide. “Jones himself can be heard for the majority of the 45-minute recording as he is attempting to persuade the members into committing suicide, and succeeding” (McCloy). This is a very disturbing tape where you can hear Jim Jones speaking to the members in a persuasive way. However, there are also some people on the tape who was against Jones for choosing their time of death. The majority

The same sweater and khaki pants that he is so obsessed with are easy to spot. His overly confident walk hides the fact that he is nothing but an ordinary and odious guy who never seems to leave his earmuffs behind wherever he goes. He stands around making it obvious at how offended he is that no one has approached him yet. If only he’d owned up to being the shitty person that he is underneath all his appealing traits, he wouldn't be an outcast. Officer McCormick approaches the officious boy, feeling obligated to do so. He asks his opinion on his recent soccer game, knowing that the soccer team is outrageously terrible. There's an awkward pause and a sigh of disappointment that delivers more than enough information about his question. Officer
