Being a resident of South Carolina, African-American Culture was chosen as part of the applied learning project for the Intercultural Nursing class, because African-Americans make up more than a quarter of this state’s population. According to the 2010 United States Census Bureau, the total population for South Carolina (S.C.) is 4,625,364, with 27.9% being of African-American descent. The purpose of this paper is to develop an understanding and sensitivity to issues and cultural variances or phenomena that are unique to the African-American Culture. Another goal is to identify nursing interventions that are important for the nurse to consider in caring for this population. These phenomena’s include variances in social organization,

Each year, millions of American travel by airplane. However, only a minority of the population are forced to check their rights when they check their luggage. As fundamental that citizens should be able to reach their destination with their privacy and other civil liberties intact, it is becoming increasingly harder. Being asked to remove your shoes and walk through a metal detector is nothing compared to what women — and some men — with natural hair have been forced to endure.

African American culture and history is important in learning to do the things you want to do in life. Even though they may not have had an advantage, they still where an important part of learning and history.

1.) In chapter 1, Black women slaves were defined as either a “jezebel” or “mammy”. In detail define the characteristics of a “jezebel” and “mammy”. Why were black women defined in these two extreme ways? By contrast, how were Southern white women characterized?

The project will enhance our knowledge of American and African American history and Culture. Like many other cities in the south, African Americans in Atlanta desperately sought the freedom to vote, to use public spaces, gain access to public facilities and institutions, and increase housing as well as economic opportunities. However, what unique about Atlanta history is that the churches, local businesses, government organizations, and various social, educational, and community organization of the Sweet Auburn neighborhood of Atlanta, Georgia played a vital role in the development of their black leaders and of the history of Atlanta Georgia during the 20th century.

The 20th century was a decade of great sorrows and improvement in the African American culture. The beginning of the civil right movement, the contrary to Brown vs Board of Education and black genres of music replicated the griefs in the African American’s community. The sound of Rhythm and Blues and other form of music were their form of therapeutic tool. With the migration of many southern African Americans migrated to northern and western cities to avoid racism they suffered in the south, their music were embraced by white American which created Rock and Roll outburst. Altschuler (2003) states that, “For African Americans, rock n roll was a mixed blessing. At times a force for integration and racial respect, rock n roll was also an act

Regardless of their race, people need to know where they came from and why. Historically, we know that at least 450 years ago, or more, Africans were captured in their home and forcibly brought to the Americas on slave ships to work for landowners. Unfortunately, the Africans brought to the colonies were seen as inferior to the European settlers. Because of this feeling of superiority, the Africans were thought to be the property of the settlers and as such a vast majority were treated harshly. At that point in history, the Africans had lost their identity, and now that hundreds of years had passed the African-Americans have regained their identity. What constitutes the National Museum of African-American History and Culture as special

Every culture has a unique way of eating a typical meal with a family. They can differ in ways like the amount of meals per day, timing of those meals, what is the proper etiquette at the table, who is present, if there is a certain structure or hierarchy, who cooks the meal, who cleans afterward, and many more. In this essay the family the meal structure of people in West Africa will be compared and contrasted to that of the people from Mexico. The first group of people to be analyzed are the people from West Africa. The people of West Africa used to typically eat two meals day, one in the late morning and one at night.

On August 19, 1995 I was immersed in this world of many things. Many faces, many cultures, and many religions. I was brought into a family of five faces and to some one culture, but to me two cultures. I come from two Nigerian parents who were both born and raised in Nigeria. They met in school and they later got married and had two sons there. My father received an invitation to go and study at a university in either Canada or Australia and he chose to go to Canada. This, however, meant that he had to leave his family back in Nigeria for the time being in order to pursue his Ph.D. in psychology. My father obviously had the intention of bringing my mom and my two brothers, Toochukwu and Uchenna, to Canada with him, but there wasn’t a way

The American culture uses class, gender, and race to define one and another. However racism is one of the leading factors of how and who has come out on top in today's society. So grasping a better understanding of racism is key in understanding American culture. The concept of racism is classifying one and another and can be seen as misleading as far in the equality of human life. Defining someone by their race can be discriminatory, but it can also disregard common sense. So how did we get to this point in American culture and how have we not advance through this period of discrimination.

As for the popular culture of Black Americans, we will be discussing the representation of these individuals in the media. Black individuals have never been treated as equally as Whites in the media. They are stereotyped as lazy, stupid, violent, and stupid in today’s society (Horton, Price, & Brown, 1999). These degrading stereotypes are reinforced by negative representation and portrayal of these individuals in the media. For example, it is not uncommon for a Black individual to be cast in a movie or television show as a criminal. These beliefs are not true and depict the entire population as bad even though only a small population of individuals fit into this category. In addition, news representation seems to represent Black criminals

I decided to do my paper on one of my cultures that I celebrate which Is Juneteenth and also I wanted to write about is the Japanese culture. I just wanted to share with you how my family celebrate this culture and enjoy it at the same time and also explain the meaning to you. I also would like to talk about the Japanese culture and some of the unique ways they celebrate things in their culture also. Hope you enjoy.

A small number of themes are present over time, from America’s first settlements of the English to the present day. Of course race is one of these themes, which includes the contact between the natives and the European explorers, along with the issues of multiple ethnicities in America. Over the years, the people in American were becoming more and more conscious about a number of extremely important issues on the topic of ethnicity. The one theme that I think is the most important to single out is the story of the relationship of African Americans to the South, as well as to the rest of the country. There is a significant amount of irony, as well as tragedy, during this period of African American history, but also much perseverance and success.

Nations across the world unite in so many ways. Whether it be the Super Bowl, or the Olympics, there are always things that can bring people together. Fashion Week is one of them. Fashion Week brings artists, designers, and audiences from across the world together in the name of art. However, the importance of Fashion Week cannot be expressed without first discussing its history.

Makeup Art Cosmetics (MAC) was founded in 1985 in Toronto by Frank Toskan and the late Frank Angelo. The business plan concentrated on targeting young, fashionable females by creating cosmetic products which contain unique textures and colours. Using this strategy, the company targeted the ¡°hip¡± celebrities and other cosmetic influencers to gain recognition and market share in the younger consumer market. Since its inception, the company has grown to become a multi-national organization operating in over 180 locations worldwide. In the late 1990¡¯s, MAC was purchased by Estee Lauder, which has led to the alteration of the company¡¯s governance; the culture of the firm changed from that of an entrepreneurial-style with limited rules into
