Discrimination In The World: A Brave New World

The world has seen several infectious diseases as time goes on from typhoid to strep, smallpox, meningitis, the common flu and many more. Through the use and progression of vaccines, many deadly and horrible diseases have been completely cured or side

The Kids at Ruth’s school truly didn’t like her just because she was Jewish. In high school, Ruth was cast as an ensemble dancer for a school musical, but due to the other students saying they didn’t want to have to dance next to a Jew, Ruth dropped out. (McBride P.105)

People in dominant groups often perpetuate discrimination because it provides them separation and privilege. It is something that people have always done in order to exploit another group for personal gain. However; racism is a much newer concept that was built off that idea. It allowed groups of people to conquer one another, enslave them, take their territory, and oppress them. Now, to answer your question, the way to change racism is to be an ally and identify one's own privilege. Being an ally gives individuals the power to spread awareness and to educate them on the social construction of racism. These passionate people are the heartbeat for the movement to end racism. And no, simply not identifying ones race is not enough. Color blindness

The U.S. suffered a very terrible blow September 11, 2001 when a terrorist group named Al-Qaeda hit our country with a series of terrorist attacks in New York and VA which claimed the lives of more than 3000 people, and left us speechless, hurt, without many loved ones and puzzled on how it happened. Before that there had been several attacks such as the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City in 1993 and of the Federal building in Oklahoma two years later known as the Murrah Building ( Kano, Wood, M., Bourque, L. B., & Mileti, D. S., 2011).

Discrimination has been a problem since the beginning of time. Discrimination is mentioned in many pieces of classical literature such as Shakespeare’s Othello. In this classical play the main character Othello is never truly accepted into the Venetian society because he is a Moor from Northern Africa. His skin color caused people to view him differently and also presented problems when he tried to find a wife. After he eventually found and married Desdemona her father Brabantio still did not approve of him; he said “She, in spite of nature, Of years, of country, credit, everything, To fall in love with what she feared to look on! It is a judgment maimed and most imperfect That will confess perfection so could err Against all rules of nature” (Act I, Scene 3). Brabantio saw this love as unnatural because he believes Desdemona would never fall in love with a black man who she was afraid to look upon. Before Othello married Desdemona Brabantio saw him as an honorable leader and great man, but after their marriage he accuses him of black magic and urges their marriage to be annulled by the Duke. This discrimination led to Othello’s doubt and self-conscience attitude which, ultimately leads to his demise at the end of the play. Discrimination continues to exist today as it did 400 years ago in Shakespeare’s time. Today people are still discriminated against and persecuted because of their race or their religious views.

As the world continues to grow each and every day new discoveries are made. Discoveries are made regarding new illnesses and infectious diseases that can infect humans and also be life taking. Along with the discoveries of illness and infectious diseases there are new medicine discoveries. These new medicine discoveries are helping the human race stay healthier longer. The reason people are able to live healthier longer lives is because the new medicine discoveries are making people immune to illnesses and infectious diseases. The new medicine discoveries are for everyone but mainly for the newest generations brought into today. Theses new medicine discoveries are turned into immunizations or vaccines, which are given to humans who want them.

The example is always black. A statement that pretty much summed up what 's wrong with America today. Every time you turn on the news, you see something negative about minorities. The white population commits the same crimes and the minorities, but the minorities are I totally agree with Marc Lamont Hill 's views on the racism that still exists in the world. Minorities are unfairly targeted on a regular basis. Whether they are unfairly treated in the workplace,school systems, or by the police department, it seems to be getting worse every day. The recent rash of police shooting of unarmed minorities is clear evidence of this.

In the United States today discrimination is still an issue in society. As a society progress has definitely been made, but it has never fully gone away. Some of the most discriminatory action takes place in the American justice system. Young minority males between the ages of 25-29 are subject to being treated the most unfairly while whites of the same age are still being treated better than any race in this country. African American and Hispanic males are being incarcerated at higher rates than white males in America. Not only are minorities being incarcerated more, but also they are subject to harsher sentencing terms, fall victim to police racial profiling, and have disparities in the war on drugs. Also whites are still the dominant

Everyday, the United States faces new threats to public health and well being, and everyday, medicine advances. Updated medical procedures have created a safer, healthier nation than years past. Some of the most important advancements and ideas were created not that long ago. An era of extreme change of the medical world in the United States was the outbreak of poliomyelitis in the 1930s and 1940s. Three decades of research, treatment, and fighting an epidemic led doctors to take a different approach to medicine. This era produced new inventions, new sanitation concerns, and new vaccines. It also stressed the importance of maintaining personal health, and the importance of receiving all vaccines. These medical advancements include the invention

The United States is the superpower on this globe now. It is a developed country with diversified cultures such as Asian, European, African, and etc.. America has a dominating power over the economy, education, politics, military and culture all around the world. Also, it has advanced industries, ideas and some of the smartest scientist. According to editor Robert Schlesinger in the news "The U.S. entered 2016 with an estimated population of 322,762,018 according to an end-of-year estimate from the U.S. Census Bureau, and white people are 77 percent of the population." In the other words, 23 percent different races are in the U.S., which makes racial discrimination a big problem in American society. In the other words, 23 percent different

Throughout history and all around the world discrimination has taken its stance on many people in different countries. It takes place every day whether it is on race, gender identity, sexual orientation, beliefs or anything that makes a person different from another. A specific discrimination happens in today’s society and in the workplace. It seems that women who are trained and educated equally aren’t paid the exact amount as their male counterparts. There is not a specific reason why it is a problem in the world, especially the United States but the issue can date back to the Industrial Revolution. For hundreds of years, mankind has not thought of the brilliant idea of establishing equal pay amongst men and women. Women are the main if not

In the 21st century, we don’t often see issues regarding racism on account of our obligation to a constitution of human rights. We, the citizens of the United States, follow the constitution that prevents “states from denying any person life, liberty or property, without due process of law" and grants “any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” The citizens of the United States do not discriminate against one another. After centuries of activist movements and riots, we have learned to take pride in our diversity and stand together despite our differences in race or religion. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. referenced this day and age when he said “I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin,

Besides the computer revolution, medical advances have caused tension between faith and reason. The medical advances of the Twentieth Century have many beneficial effects for humanity. Diseases that used to be dangerous or life threatening, like mumps, measles, and whooping cough, are no longer worries in todays medical world. Tetanus, typhoid, and the bubonic plaque can now be treated with antibiotics or other medicines. Vaccines, especially the polio vaccine, freed many people from the effects of a disease. Advances in heart surgery and organ transplants have saved many lives. Anesthetics and painkillers have been made to reduce or eliminate pain during surgery or a painful disease. Advances in cancer and AIDS have

Racism is the belief that one race is superior to another. Discrimination has been going on for generations among generations. Many years ago people of different races were divided from each other. Public places were segregated, colored people had to use specific water fountains, schools were segregated, and blacks had to sit at the back of the buses. If they were to disobey, then there would be consequences and repercussions. Equality was a figment of imagination, a dream the minority groups had. Throughout the years racism has decreased and many things pertaining to racism were made illegal, but that doesn’t mean racism disappeared. If people were to resume racist behaviors, that can lead the world back to the days of inequality.

Discrimination comes in many forms. Discrimination and diversity are closely linked considering the reasons behind discrimination are what makes up the definition of diversity. Not only is discrimination made against gender, race, and religion, but it is also made of age, disabilities, appearance and in a lot of cases, women who are pregnant too. This is very much a reality for many employers. There are laws protecting acts of discrimination. This topic is so sensitive, that many employers implement diversity and discrimination into their mission statements. Many companies make it their practice to host training sessions to prevent discrimination from happening, then there are many companies who can’t afford such training for their
