The study by Kim et al., (2013), examined racial and ethnic disparities in older black and white adults and the role of geography in mental health service use and care. The critique of this article examined disparities addressed but also the lack of other minorities suffering lack of mental health service use. Reducing racial disparities across the four regions in the South, Northeast, Midwest and West would support improving mental health access at the national level. The older blacks in the
I decided to complete the Diversity Interview by utilizing a classmate that I have worked with on several occasions. The work we performed together has always been professional; we have never had discussions that delved deep into each other’s backgrounds. This person is of the opposite sex and is visibly a different ethnic group from myself. I am an American- African male and she is an American – Mexican/Irish. This interview is being done in order for me to understand what it is like to be in her
The United States Civil War: A Time of Change and Equality for All The United States Civil War, which lasted from 1861 to 1865, represented a time of major change around the world. This civil war that absorbed our nation during the mid 1860s not only fought for the rights of African Americans in the United States but for the rights and respects of African Americans around the globe. These times of fighting altered the lives of women living in a strongly patriarchal
Disorder says, “bipolar disorder is about a third as common as depression and less than half as common as attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder in youths, but about twice as common as autistic spectrum disorders (Youngstrom, 2012).” In the United States about three percent or about five point seven
all. To combat inequalities, we must identify the obstacles that refrain us from establishing complete equality. In Models of American Ethnic Relations: A Historical Perspective, historian George M. Fredrickson writes extensively about the ethnic relations between different races and religions throughout American history. Frederickson analyzes four models of ethnic relations, which include hierarchy, assimilation, pluralism, and separatism. Each of these has defined how groups of people have established
Although some level of immigration has been continuous throughout American history, there have been two epochal periods: the 1880 to 1924 Age of Mass Migration, primarily from Southern and Eastern Europe, and the Post 1965 Wave of Immigration, primarily from Latin America and Asia. In this research paper, I would focus on the first wave which occurred in the 1900; including impact, living and work condition; reasons for coming, and change in immigration laws. America experienced a large
cultures and background united under one cause: defeat the other side. In addition, the concept of “Mutually assured destruction” protected us from the prospect of destructive, nuclear war between countries on the Capitalist side and countries on the Communist side. However, after the Cold War ended, people needed to find new lines to identify themselves with: cultural lines. In Clash of Civilizations, Huntington outlines 3 ways in which civilizations will clash: core state conflicts, fault line conflicts
largest imagined communities in our nation-state, the United States of America, has culminated throughout history to now identify 72.4% of our current population (“State and County QuickFacts”). Whiteness, America’s largely imagined identity, is considered to be both a class and a racial identifier. Its “culture”, like all cultures, is highly dynamic and varies across space and time. I aim to either falsify or buttress the stereotypical norm of white, southern culture and their assumed adoration of
Ethnic identity manifests itself in almost everything we do in one’ day to day life. It can influence how one acts, what one eats, and how one communicates. In particular, festivals are important phenomenon because festivals can display many characteristics of ethnic identity. In the area of my hometown of Batesville, Indiana, a particular festival takes place bringing the whole town together, in conjunction with tourists, to celebrate the large proportion of German heritage comprising the area.

The right of nations to self-determination is a cardinal principle in modern international law, binding, as such, on the United Nations as an authoritative interpretation of the Charter’s norms. It states that nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and fair equity of opportunity have the right to freely choose their sovereignty and international political status with no external compulsion or
