As children grow up, they become the person they turn out to be because of experiences and the culture and society they grew up in. Nations are affected in the same sense because the people living in a nation affect how the nation is influenced and builds its character.

In 1890 the Supreme Court made a law about keeping the whites and blacks in separate areas. This lead to the case Plessy v. Ferguson, this was a law that was made in Louisiana for restaurants, hotels, hospitals, and other public places to serve African Americans in a separate area. This law happened in 1896 and the outcome of the case was ferguson

The Americans were devastated after the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941. President Roosevelt signed the Executive Order 9066 on February 19, 1942 sending all Japanese Americans to internment camps. Many Japanese Americans were given very little time to sell everything they had. Many americans treated the Japanese Americans with no respect after the bombing.

After the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7 1941, Americans became extremely fearful of people that were of Japanese descent. Congress barred almost all immigrants from Asia. Japanese Americans were forced to leave their jobs and sell their homes and almost all they owned. They were put onto buses and taken to internment camps where they lived under guard behind fences and barbed wire. In these camps, each family was assigned to live together in one room.

An unexpected attack on pearl harbour led to unfortunate events for the japanese americans. Even before the war they were treated differently as well as during and after war.Japanese americans behavior,even existence was criminalized after the bombing of pearl harbour. They were locked up because the Americans hated and feared them. It was racism, pure and simple.

As mentioned earlier, the Japanese Americans during the Second World War faced struggles and problems very different from the struggles of women, Native Americans, and many other people who were living in the the United States. While everyone did have a very hard and difficult time living though all the struggles in the home front, nobody else was discriminated as much as the Japanese were. Just two months after the Japanese flew across the pacific ocean and bombed the Americans at the great attack in Pearl Harbor, President Franklin Roosevelt signed Order 9066 which would order all Japanese Americans to move to the West Coast. More than 120,000 Japanese, a lot of whom were American citizens had to move to one of ten concentration camps that

Discrimination has been around for centuries. According to Webster’s dictionary (2016), Discrimination is the practice of unfairly treating a person or group of people differently from other people or groups of people. Race, gender, age, and sexual orientation can all be reasons as to why individuals experiences discrimination, as well as a person’s national origin, weight, and religion. Discrimination has caused enormous suffering across history. In today’s society discrimination still exists, it is far less prevalent however it remains in certain areas, such as the labor market.

Today I will be talking about how prejudice and discrimination affected the development of sociology in America in the late 19th century and early 20th century. In the late 19th century women didn't have the same rights as men. When it came to providing for the family only the men could work outside the home. Women were expected to stay home, cook, clean, make clothing for the family, and take fare of the children. Segregation went on in the 19th century as well. No African Americans were allowed at the same place or the times as a caucasian person. Because this was going on in this century attending school, churches, restaurants, concerts and many other places caused problems with socializing together. This also affected some of the people

Lately the United States media has been focused on the unfair treatment many people receive based on their skin tone, whether it is the recent police brutality against African Americans or the focuses the 2018 presidential election has put on illegal immigration. Unfortunately the media has avidly avoided any subject that may be considered reverse discrimination also known as reverse racism. Reverse discrimination is a phenomenon in which members of majority groups receive unfair treatment in attempt to remedy earlier discrimination against minorities. Many people believe that reverse discrimination is becoming more prevalent part of modern society, by creating equal opportunity’s this issue can be easily reduced.

“Walmart to ban woman who told customer to 'go back to Mexico,' called another the N-word”(O’Sullivan 1). This is unfortunately the headline of a recent hateful event that happened in Arkansas, United States.

The United States of America, best known as the most powerful country in the world. Even though the US is in the pinnacle of success but persistently try to achieve excellence in the field of medicine and technology. And always set exemplary models for the rest of the world in regards to marvelousness in inventions in science. However, certain social issues which exist in the society from time immemorial and the US government failed to solve; the issue is racism. Although the congress passed the civil rights act decades ago, the bitter truth is that discrimination still exists in our country with all its supremacy(Grimsley,2016). In this article, the author says racism is deep seated in the nation because of the mindset of Americans. The author, Jim Grimsley, professor of creative writing at Emory University, in his opinion editorial, published in Los Angeles Times, says how the Americans are turning a blind eye towards racism concerns even though belief in racism is deep rooted in their minds. The

The United States is considered one of the countries that have more immigrants in the world. Also, is considered as one of the countries that treat their population equally. According to Teresa Welsh, in 2013 North America has 989,900 immigrants, leading the U.S to be the top country for having more migrants. However, immigrants are facing discrimination and racism in this country.

Race and ethnicity within the United States is socially constructed to keep the white elite within power, while poor underrepresented social classes suffer from systematic oppression. Through history laws have been implemented to keep Jews, Latinos and African Americans from migrating into developing communities which hinders their access to public resources.

Many people would say, “So it is possible, members of the LGBT community can successfully adopt children in South Dakota.” But that is not my point here. The fact that this community is being discriminated against in the first place is disgusting. Someone so cruel and so unaccepting of other people just because they are different than them, to so much of an extent where they are going to keep a child from finding a home, is someone that needs to be stopped. Someone who promotes this kind of behavior should not be able to be in office. They are the main reason we can not get America to see each other as equals. Starting to accept people for who they are is the first step in making America a better place to live for everyone.
