Racism And All The Other ' Isms '

In the group presentation, my group and I presented on the issue of -isms. This included focus on sexism, ageism, and racism. I felt that each person in our group was very diverse and unique which made our presentation stand out with having a little bit of individuality from each member in the presentation. Our main goal of communication was to inform the audience on what exactly each -ism is, discuss where each one is found, and how the are influenced in today's society. From the start of the

In todays society, you can not turn on the tv or radio without hearing some type of denigrating remark. Unfortunately its the cause of all the social norms. Our nation has been brainwashed by so many factors.

Homelessness should be apart of one of the isms. They are classified into their own group with their own stereotypes and perceptions that are just like sexism, racism, and the rest of the isms. I also feel that out of all the minority groups they are the most often overlooked and are subject to their own discrimination. This is all I could think about while helping at the road home. I could bore you with a step-by-step of what my group and I did but it was nothing other than opening cans of fruit and dishing
