The Effects Of Racism In Italy

There exists in our community a monster, a monster as old as mankind itself. This monster is known by many names; some call it racism, others discrimination but the only thing certain about this monstrosity is that it can be overcome if we all unite to fight against it. Racism is “a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race” (Merriam Webster). Racism has multiple causes ranging from living in a secluded community, to the basic instincts of mankind which likes exemplify the differences found in others not like themselves. Racism can destroy the foundations on which a community is laid upon and can intrude upon the peace and sanction of many of its members. By informing members of the community on the reasons why racism continues to persist, encouraging acceptance and providing further education on how to relieve racial tensions, we can resolve the issue of racism once and for all.

Europe has had a long history of slave trade already by the time the 16th century came around. Many slaves worked on various types of plantations where they would grow sugar, tobacco, and coffee beans, creating large amounts of profit. All of

Othello or The Moor of Venice by William Shakespeare is a tragedy of race. Shakespeare creates a hero who does not fall under a racist stereotype, Othello is a nobleman, a decorated soldier, very well respected by his men (with the exception of Iago). One of the few characteristics that harms, rather than helps him, is that he is dark-skinned in a society utterly dominated by men prejudiced against those with dark skin. At the start of the play, he appears confident that, "My parts, my title, and my perfect soul / Shall manifest me rightly." (Shakespeare, 1, 2, 36-37) But Iago makes sure to use Othello's race against him as much as possible. As a brave soldier from Africa and recently instated supreme commander of the Venetian army, Shakespeare still allows Othello to succumb to the subtle racism that surrounds him. Most of it comes forward through the dialog, and is directed toward Othello. Shakespeare makes no effort to hide this colorful language, nearly every character uses a racial slur to insult Othello at some point in the play. Even Emilia, who doesn’t trust her own husband, sinks to the level of insulting Othello based on the color of his skin. Though the main character to make racist remarks in Othello is Iago, making him a representation of white supremacy. The effect of racism on Othello is quite evident and is one of the main causes of his insecurity about his marriage. These black stereotypes show up in the play and lead to the problem with trying to produce

The anecdotal instances of racism in Rankin’s Citizen together demonstrates the existence of a structural form of racism. The anecdotes demonstrates that if a person is of colour they suffer different treatment which distinguish them to be an ‘other’ type of person. The idea behind these racist encounters can be further categorized into three categories: overt racism, covert racism, and institutional racism, and these ideas together form the basis behind structural racism.

Prejudice is a specific type of abuse. It originates from the victimization of a gathering of individuals in view of the thought that some “acquired trademark,” for example, the color of the skin that makes them the second rate compared to their autocrat. The scheme of ‘race’ and ‘bigotry’ are in a current improvements. They emerged and turned out to be a piece of the widespread belief system of society in the setting of the African slave exchange at the beginning of private enterprise during the 1500s and 1600s.

INTO: The Immigration Restriction Act of 1901 led to the limitation of non-European migration, which became known as White Australian Policy .In 1901, 98% of people in Australia were white.

The land was not appropriately maintained, the soil and crops suffered due to weather conditions, in which the government didn’t facilitate much help and as a result, when the land grew poorer, Italy became poorer and with that, so did its people, leading thousands of people to leave the country. But, not all was greener on the other side as the American society felt the "new immigrants" to be a burden on the US and taking liberties that wasn’t theirs to take, “Italian faced discrimination from both unions and employers” (Guglielmo 2003). No one wanted the new wave of Italian immigrants tainting the Statue of Liberty in their masses, bringing in unwanted diseases, religion and culture. Regardless, the Italians embarked on a long arduous journey to a new thriving country where money and land was available, suffering was distant and the ideology that, fairness for all, was

At the end of the 16th century people burned cats for sport, hunted witches, and the leach was the pinnacle of medical technology. However, they did get one thing right. 16th century englishmen had views on interracial marriage that were arguably more sophisticated than those of the American South until as recently as 2009. Shakespeare's Othello illustrates this with how the Venetians treat the protagonist, Othello. He is treated as not only equal but in many cases superior and senior. Racism in Othello is remarkable, because of its absence, yet we find it challenging to hear shakespeare's words without projecting our experience of racism onto them.

Nowadays, sports are considered as the center of entertainment. Friends and family gather around and cheer on for their favorite team. Regardless of any sports, there will be fans for the team no matter how small or insignificant the team is. Racially integrated team is also on the rage right now. We can see that almost every sports team or club such as football and soccer has different people from different races and nationality nowadays. These racially integrated team undergoes many issues and disputes, and up until now, the tension between the races has been the strongest issues debated between scholars. In these days many people actually believed that racism already perished from this modern sport. In reality, racism still widely exist

In the Renaissance, slaves were starting to be used in plantations, mostly in America, but also in plantations in Italy and off the coast of Africa (Gascoigne). So, in both the Renaissance and the Industrial Revolution, at least some slaves were used for hard labor. The Portuguese were the first to put slaves to work in plantations, and slaves soon came to be used on plantations in the Americas by nations such as Spain, Holland, France, England, and the Netherlands. The first slaves they enslaved in these colonies were the native peoples, but soon, the native population began to dwindle. Since Portugal had been exploring the coast of Africa and since Africa had a booming population of people, Africans became the people they predominantly enslaved (Guild). Thus, racial slavery was started. Blacks came to be viewed as lower than human, and this view spread to all the nations which came to have plantations in America. Millions of blacks were imported to plantations for sugar, spices, tobacco, coffee, etc. during the span of the Renaissance (Hornsby).

Racism and the effects of racism can be seen anywhere. In the hallways of the high school, the streets, housing, neighborhoods, cities, and more, one thing is seen, and that 's segregation, which is ultimately caused by racism. Walking in the hallways at school, chances are that you’ll see a group of whites, a group of Hispanics, and a group of African Americans, but rarely do you see these three groups interacting with each other. Racism has been made a part of people’s everyday lives, a border posed by racism: segregation. Racism and its effects can not only be seen around us but can also be traced throughout countless readings in HWOC this year. Almost every literary work focuses on the topic or underscores at its effects, and today, you can walk into any library or bookstore and find something, whether it be a news article or chapter book, regarding racial conflict. This alone is evidence of how racism has integrated our society and continues to inform and manipulate our minds. The literature we have been exposed to this past year is a reflection of society, similar to a reflection in a mirror showing us the piece of hair sticking up in the back, literature is showing us the problem so it can be addressed.

Racism is an ongoing force that negatively impacts the lives of Americans every day. The racist mindset in America stems from the times of slavery, where blacks were thought to be inferior to whites. Throughout history, the ideology of race and racism has evolved and developed several different meanings. Today, we can still see the devastating effects of racism on people of color, as well as whites. “Racism, like other forms of oppression, is not only a personal ideology based on racial prejudice, but a system involving cultural messages and institutional policies and practices as well as beliefs and actions of individual” (Tatum, pg. 9). As a result of this system, it leaves the

The 20th century was dominated by World War I, World War II, nationalism, decolonization, the cold war, post-cold war. It was the century in which the world has witnessed masses of dead bodies strewn upon the ground, and those even who survived were afflicted with physical and mental suffering, casualties mounted into millions. After the two world wars, nothing was ever certain again, moral progress came to seem ridiculous. Although this century witnessed many wars and invasions, it also witnessed developments on so many levels, in transportation, communications, technology, world population. The birth of machine changed the life conditions. One of the major issues in the 20th century that this research will examine is racism and sudoriferous relationships. It is commonly assumed that racism is as old as human society itself. Since the beginning of creation the argument between human beings goes; they have always hated people of a different nation or gender or religion or skin color. However, racism is an integral part of human nature.
