Race And Ethnicity

A just society as one in which all citizens willingly subordinated their private, selfish interests to the common good

What if we lived in a world where there were no races? What if people were not discriminated against because of the color of their skin or because they are different from what we see as acceptable? This is what Kwame Anthony Appiah tries to examine in his essay “Race, Culture, Identity: Misunderstood Connections.” Appiah tries to point out that “American social distinctions cannot be understood in terms of the concept of race.” (102) That America is made up of so many different races that no race is the more superior or in other cases inferior to one another. America is defined by its cultural diversity; it is what makes America the nation that it is. It is the reason that we as Americans have freedoms other people

Race, simple external differences linked to other complex internal differences, has historically created issues in American society. “Race and racial inequalities are one of the most vital issues confronting contemporary U.S. society,” explains Sociologist Ronald Takaki. In the past race has had both biological and social implications across the country.

There are many ethnic differences in each stage of the justice system. In order to be able to prove these it is important to break the system down, and evaluate it bit by bit, showing the possible signs of ethnic differences.

Throughout the history of the country, America has been considered a fairly racist union. From the workplaces to the society, as an Asian, I felt there's a strong barrier between white and black people, although I felt a little bit of racial among us. In this essay, I will talk about the major racial issue of this country through out my experiences.

The United States is an ethnically and racially diverse nation. Explain how this happened over the last 500 years.

In this course I have learned about different social problems in societies worldwide. Some of these include poverty, social inequality, discrimination of race and culture, urbanization, and more. After learning all these subjects and more, I have decided to do my final on social inequality and minorities in the United States. I chose this particular topic because I have seen this in almost every place have lived. I find it appalling that minorities are still not treated 100% equal. We as Americans know what inequality is and know how it is used in our everyday society. I want to explore this topic and show how real and big this

Discuss the similarities and differences between race and ethnicity and give and give an example of each.

To live in a place, where equality, peace, security and dignity are guaranteed is a good fortune to those who found a just society. Though it is not an easy task to establish a just society, but it is not an impossible idea. A just society requires a society of law abiding citizens who work together for the betterment of the society, where laws are human rights informed and social policies are effective.

a totally just society will never happen until people are willing to work for it.

Racial injustices are what have made America the powerful nation it is today. America was founded on the genocide of Native Americans and built on the backs of African slaves. In modern day America, strides have been made to provide all Americans equal opportunities to ensure assimilation and success in society however there is still significant work to be to ensure equality. In this paper I have researched the anthropological perspectives on race and ethnicity globally. I have also compared and contrasted varying researcher’s works to ensure I have a thorough understanding of this topic

This assignment is a challenging one. There are many different viewpoints on this subject that could influence ones position depending on religious or political beliefs and views. I suppose a healthy society would be one of appericiation and toleration of all opinions and perspectives. Unfortunately, history has shown us time and time again that this is just not possible.

This equality of people is also the basis for the nature of humans together in societies.

A just society, it is a place where every citizen is equal, every citizen has common rights, duties and where the government works for the welfare of the society without any selfish wants. Every citizen is individually responsible to have a just society. I believe to have a just society there should be rights and duties for everyone living in the society. At an individual level I believe there should be equality in the state. According to the constitution, it is our fundamental right that we would be treated equally, but the prevailing quota system in our society is totally contradictive to this statement.
