My Fourth Performance Analysis

Based on theme two, they reconstructed the myths about whites and blacks. They began to explain the concept of “If they gain, we lose”. There was a concern of the participants having and not having and about sharing privilege but not wanting to give it up (McIntyre, 57). McIntyre explains that there are always exceptions to the rule and it reconstructs the myth of “equal opportunity for all”.

Names and nationalities play a large role throughout your life. Esperanza and Maria are examples of this, through the excerpt and poem it is possible to tell that they feel discriminated because of their nationalities. The idea comes from how they react and our treated compared to other students.

Francisco writes this book and describes his adventures while living illegally in the U.S. He teaches kids around the world that racial barriers aren’t a bad thing but is a good

With these identifications, the writers are able to shift their focus from trying to “fit-in” into fighting so justice with prejudice and discrimination. Ortiz Cofer states, “There are however, thousands of Latinas without the privilege of an education or the entree into society that I have. For them life is a struggle against the misconceptions perpetuated… We cannot change this by legislating the way people look at us. The transformation… at a more individual level ” (page 229). This quotation shows how Ortiz Cofer is openly saying as a more fortunate Latina she still see problems that should definitely be fixed. Like Ortiz Cofer, Wright identifies herself which helps her transition to fight discrimination and prejudice. According to Wright, “ I am Nigerian… But I am also American… and African American women can be personally invested in the global fight against sexism, ethnocentrism, and class prejudice ” (page 34). As Wright states who she is with confidence she says how other African American women can also be confident and invested in having pride of their roots and fighting against ethnocentrism, class prejudice, sexism. By identifying who they are, you see the writers embrace where they are from and begin to want to fight

• The promoters have been trying to promote the concept through press and meeting with retailers.

In the United States early history, Native Americans, Africans and Europeans were marginalized by White People, and categorized as the minorities because they were seen as the inferior race. For nearly three centuries, the criteria for membership in these groups were similar, comprising a person's appearance, their social circle (how they lived), and their known non-White ancestry. History played a major part, as persons with known slave ancestors were assumed to be African (or, in later usage, black), regardless of whether they also had European ancestry. Most often these minorities face significant discrimination in various forms whether through voting, law policy, unequal pay, or even implicit racism, minorities of all kinds have been and still are being put down today. The book Between the World and Me is a letter to Ta-Nehisi Coates’s fifteen-year-old son, Samori. He weaves his personal, historical, and intellectual development into his ruminations on how to live in a black body in America. Not only does Coates give his personal experience in how he experience in first hand discrimination, racism, marginalization but he also gives vivid images on how he lived multiple worlds and how those experiences changed him. In “How to Tame a Wild Tongue”, Gloria Anzaldua exposes her feelings about social and cultural difficulties that Mexican immigrants face when being raised in the United States. She establishes comparisons among English, Spanish and their variations on how

Throughout the novel many problems occur. Some of the main problems are racial and equality issues. Events in this book show how prejudice and intolerance can ruin numerous friendships and change lives.

From the beginning of the story, we are shown racial inequalities. Ellison introduces us to our character who is a broke and hungry African American economically struggling to save his lady friend’s, Laura’s, life. The protagonist “got no birth certificate to

Inequalities within minorities is not limited to economic unfairness but also social inequity. The second story that shows how inequality within minorities is “The Myth of the Latin Woman” by Judith Ortiz Cofer. “The Myth of the Latin Woman” is an essay based on the real life experiences of Judith Ortiz Cofer. The story talks about the racist inequalities she has went through as a women of Hispanic descent. “a young man, obviously fresh from a pub, spotted me and as if struck by inspiration went down on his knees in the aisle. With both hands over his hearts he broke into an an Irish tenor’s rendition of Maria from West Side Story”. The author retells one of her experiences from earing graduate credits one summer and she is met by someone whom ignorantly makes racists remark simply because she is Latina. Furthermore in the story Cofer mentions how people gave the man a round of applause. “amused fellow passengers gave his voice the round of gentle applause” (Page 61). This shows that it is acceptable to generalize an ethnic group into a character from West Side Story. In addition to the unfair generalization, Cofer is confronted unfair expectations. I thought you Latin girls were supposed to mature early”. This is unfair assumption made to Cofer. She is treated like a vegetable rather than a girl who traditionally grows into womanhood. This also generalizes Latin women to be matured at a young age. Which is incorrect just because Latinas fall into a small category in society

In the “The Achievement of Desire” and “Para Teresa” Richard Rodriguez and Inez Avila describe the troubles of balancing life at home and at school. Rodriguez conveys the difficulties he had to face separating from his own culture to achieve academic success. His article portrays the cultural world and the educational world as separate institutions that cannot coexist in America. Throughout his text Rodriguez provides detailed experiences in order to explain his thought process. Inez Avila however presents her article as a letter dedicated to a school bully. In contrast to Rodriguez perspective Avila wrote her poem in English and Spanish to appeal to Mexican -American culture. She walks the reader through an argument between her and a fellow classmate as she was cornered in a bathroom. Her poem depicts how children who share the same culture discriminate within their own community. Both these articles are told from a Latino-American point of view yet they radically differ from each other.

The main point of this chapter was to show the reader or the students how much the life of the human being is affected by privilege. Even though everyone say that you get to what you want because of how hard you work. After reading this chapter, I learned that it is also the privileges that you have is what helps you to get what you want or achieve your goal. Moreover, having privileges or being a part of a majority group rather than a minor group makes life a little easier. This chapter taught be that not all the privileged people are racist.

I believe I was able to include all of the components specified in the planning and preparation stages of my website.

Performance enhancement supplements and drugs are a billion dollar industry due to their growth and popularity with athletes of all ages. There are two types of performance enhancement substances: legal and illegal. Substances that are considered legal are usually naturally occurring and are easily available. A substance is usually deemed illegal because it is manufactured, possibly more harmful than helpful to an athlete’s body, violates the spirit of sport, and banned by many sport organizations. Although this industry continues to grow it usually stirs up some controversial conversations.

It is now evident that the implementation of a performance program shall involve the use the use of different personnel from the organization. The success of any program is therefore hitched upon the support it receives from the personnel in the organization and the acceptance it gains within the organization (Levy and Williams).. The goal of having a communication plan in the process of setting up a performance program is to ensure that it needs to be accepted by the majority of the employees within the organization and hence assure higher satisfaction levels among the [participants in the program. The plan shall also help in achieving another goal which includes the fact that information concerning the program is equally disseminated within the organization.

One significant theme that is present throughout the story is the one of unequal rights for African Americans. One instance of social injustice is described in the very
