Not Quite Good Enough

Not to mention, the book would be written by a white person it would have never been made. In Chapter 1,2,3 it says basically whites are better than blacks. The book is about what black people don’t have. Also, what white people do have rather than blacks. If the book in this century it would be different because there isn't a

Walters view of racism changes throughout his life. When he was little he did not know what racism is and the older he got he found out what it is and it affected him. Walter was invited to a party but because he was black he was not welcome. The effect of him being black is black people did not have great jobs. Walter did not want to have a job like his dad working for the whites.

One main point that Mr. Wise brought to my attention was the term “white”. He spoke about how in the beginning, there wasn’t white or black, people were people, and we are the ones who decided to create division amongst ourselves. Which made me seriously think about what it means to be “white”. After much reflection, I’m starting to lean towards the idea that the term “white” is a socially constructed concept.

young he didn't like white society but instead he like the black society. An example from the story' “I

That’s what James Farmer grew up hearing. Those words determined everything he could and could not do. His town, he said, “was two towns-two worlds-one black, the other white.” I live in a time where I can go anywhere I wish with no worries. James was going to the “National Negro Conference” in Richmond. He was bringing along his friend and a white kid from the University of Texas. When planning his trip there was worry about driving through the deep south. He planned around it “thus avoiding the worst part of the South.” Living in this racism must have had a large role in James intellectual growth. During his childhood, he was denied many privileges. In his words, “Educated and uneducated alike were denied the privileges of trying on clothes in most downtown stores.” To me, this would have a negative impact on my life. Going places and people don’t serve you because of the color of your skin and not knowing why would have a tremendous

The authors are somewhat unbiased yet they are quite harsh when it comes to the idea of equality. They believe that the whites and the blacks were quite equal when it came to living in society and interacting with everyone. There was not as much racism as people would like to think. They believe that the blacks were able to have just as good of a living as any white man in early America. They were not looked down on because of the color of their skin but were seen as equals and treated like it.

Segregation had had many effects on the black nation, to the point that it started building up ones character, “See the depressing clouds of inferiority begin to form in her little mental sky and see her begin to distort her little personality by unconsciously developing a bitterness towards white people”, King shows readers that segregation is even affecting little children, that it is starting to build up a young girls character and is contributing to the child developing hatred “bitterness” towards the white Americans. King makes readers imagine a black cloud settling in a young girls brain mentally, when instead she should have an image of a colorful blue sky with a rainbow, isn’t that suppose to be part of a 6 year-old’s imagination? King gives readers an image of destruction civil disobedience had created in the black community, especially in the young innocent little children.

On the topic of exaggeration of good involves just a handful of characters but one main character. Rev. Hale. Hale always looks for the christian good in people, and is overjoyed when it is found. “Proctor has been reached by Hale's words.” ( Miller 79). This quote is showing how just one character feels the power of Hales good. Hale is always trying to bring out the good in people as he does to proctor in act two. Other than Hale, most of the villagers in Salem are good people. The qualities of a good person in Salem is as follows, never or rarely miss a day of church, marry a good wife, and never work on the sabbath day. “ I am a covenanted christian women.” ( Miller 66), this quote is showing the good of Elizabeth Proctor as she is questioned of witchery by Hale. The quote connect to this being a morality play as she is showing good conduct and character by explaining she is covenanted.

“Our Negro families are happier when they live in their own communities” – Mr. Linder Pg.100. In the quote Mr. Linder is expressing his organizations dislike of Blacks; like most of people in the 50’s, Mr. Linder was degrading a group of people on exterior appearances. In the play you can see hints of racism and gender discrimination from Walter when he asked Beneatha why she isn’t a nurse or maid instead of striving to become a doctor. Racism has been a long hard for Black community and other minority groups in the world. A Raisin in the Sun never gives the slightest hope of racist views ever being lifted. Over time the stain of

Often times, when we think about automobile owners and buyers we think of men. Sports cars and trucks are tailored to the “manliness” of the automobile industry. The reality is, there are more women drivers than men, “women purchase, or are involved in purchasing around 85% of all vehicles.”

Even works of literature that intend to have a good message can be interpreted and read the wrong way. The novella, Oroonoko written by Aphra Behn, is a great example of this. Oroonoko is the story of the Royal Slave. It is written in the perspective of a white colonial woman in the eighteenth century. I found the novella to have a lot of subtle racial undertones despite the fact that during that time it was seen as an anti-slavery novel.(1) There have been debates on whether this novella is pro-slavery or anti-slavery? While reading, I decided that it was neither, but more so a novella from a revolutionist point of view.

Walter would be the so called ‘typical’ black man archetype, he tries throughout the play to fix the family’s problems of his own accord and does not play much into racial problems except simply distrusting the white man. Walter differs from the other two black archetypes presented in the play as his character seems to be less concerned with racial problems and more concerned with the problems at hand. This can be seen in that most of his thought, speech and effort is more concentrated on his venture to open a liquor store to solve the family’s financial problems. While his character is not heavily concentrated on racial problems, he still has a disdain for the white man which is what

The hit TLC show Toddlers and Tiaras welcome viewers behind the scenes of the competitive world of child beauty pageants, showing viewers the glitz and glam of the pageant world. Typically, competitions demonstrate the importance of hard work and practice, teaching contestants valuable life lessons, however, beauty pageants teach contestants that the worth of a person is solely based on their appearance. Beauty pageants are based on physical appearance, customs, and fitness appearance instead of importance factors such as intelligence, achievements, and self-love. Children beauty pageants are extremely exploitive and detrimental to a child’s overall well being, damaging self-esteem and health.

The stereotypes in the story, makes it difficult for the readers to conclude the race of each character. People assume that the African American character would be illiterate and uneducated and the white character to be well-educated. During the time period of the story African Americans did not have access to a decent education; making it harder for them to learn just the basics. Whites had access to good education, making it easy to believe the white character is more educated. It is also believed that a person that is well educated will have a better lifestyle when they are older. A well-educated person will have a better job, paying more, and have a better opportunity to afford the means of a luxurious lifestyle. An under educated person will most likely live in poverty, struggle for their basic needs, or live in a declining neighborhood. Behavior is a harder stereo type to use to distinguish a race. Many assume that whites have an entitled attitude toward life. Whites had access to a good education and jobs, they had a “I’m better than you” attitude. On the other hand, many think African Americans were upset because of how easy it was for whites to have better access to the basic necessities such as education and housing.

When it comes to dealing with accidents, it's best to have coverage limits that reflect the needs of your business. With this in mind, you'll need to consider commercial grade protection. Driving vehicles specifically for commercial purposes requires more coverage than the average motorists, this is due to the higher amount of risk you're exposed to. Don't leave this to chance and assume your basic coverage is going to help you when something outside of your control happens to the company's fleet. Gain peace of mind, talk to an agent and understand options available to you.
