The New Jersey Retail Management

The United States has made great innovations in the past century to ensure that all people have the same chances to better themselves. While steps have been taken to bring about equality from Roe v. Wade to legalizing same sex-marriage in every state still more can be done—especially in the field of racial inequality.

Imagine living in a world that consistently devalues your existence and is heavily populated with individuals who are quick to use and abuse your resources, but are slow to share the wealth that is accumulated from those resources. How would you feel? Unfortunately, certain populations do not have to visualize the disparity that is pictured above. This is because inequity is one of the most demoralizing social issues that plague America today. The worst thing about inequity is the fact that it continues to disproportionately burden individuals who are categorize as being minority in today’s society.

11. Explain how a person may suffer from multiple discrimination and how it might affect them.

Racial inequality and discrimination is a major factor that is still present in America’s society today. Considering the fact that America’s history of racial complications is still an issue in today’s society. Minorities (African American, Asian Americans, Hispanics/Latinos) which is accounted for almost half of the population if combined, are the ones that face discrimination the most, typically everywhere they go and especially in the workforce. They are not treated as equally as everyone else and for that, it is a problem that should never be overlooked.

Inequality towards minorities in the United States has been established to be forgotten but in this century we have noticed that it has never gone away but instead been covered with other structures that allow inequality to take place. Being a minority and watching this video reminded me of the inequalities that I will still have to face throughout my education and career path. For many of us we have been tracked since elementary and allowed structures figure out where we belong due to our race, economic status, immigration status. For some students, we realize the inequalities that we have been given and try to make a change that will affect us and future generations.

In our American society, a gap between one’s aspirations and reality remains extremely wide. Currently, the United States has the least equality and opportunity than almost all other advanced industrial countries. The notion that America is a land of opportunity continues to be questioned as a multitude of studies have exposed this notion as a myth. Economic mobility in the United States is lower than most of Europe. This paper expands on the ways in which the lack of social and economic mobility is even more alarming when looking at the limited movement of African Americans up the social and economic ladder. A portion of this inequality is explained by discrimination based on race. African Americans and Latinos still earn less of the dollar than whites (Khau 2013). In addition, the disparities are explained by the fact that the life prospects of an American are far too greatly dependent on the income and education (Lareau 2002). In turn, it has become more evident and a true reality that social and economic mobility are not equally accessible for all, but rather it is more of a truth for whites in America.

Oppression and discrimination has plagued our society since early times. As a collective society one would think that over time oppression and discrimination would turn into acceptance and equality. Conversely, our society has taken sluggish steps towards diversity, acceptance and equality. Our society is focused on labeling people and putting them into limiting boxes. Oppression occurs across various groups of people based on gender, sex, race, religion, and disability. Members of these diverse groups are discriminated among work places, schools, and other places. Work places and schools promote diversity and non-discrimination, however little seems to be practiced. Oppression across generation leaves damaging consequences hindering society in the growth towards a more accepting environment.

Measuring racial and ethnic equality is not a simple or straightforward task. As Gary M. Klass points out in the “Measuring Racial and Ethnic Inequality” chapter of his book Just Plain Data Analysis:Finding, Presenting, and Interpreting Social Science Data, “Numbers never speak for themselves.” Klass’s purpose for this chapter is to demonstrate the range of data that is derived from social indicators that can be used to analyze racial and ethnic disparities in different spheres such as income and wealth, health, education, and criminal justice. After summarizing the chapter, Klass’s methodology and findings can be discussed and evaluated.

The choice of a suitable retail category to investigate the issues affecting the retail environment is crucial, and it should be representational in nature. This is essential because the rest of the retail categories can apply the recommendations for overcoming the issues. The retail category that can be useful in exploring the issues affecting module themes of global and international retailing, sustainability and ethics, and technology and retailing is foodstuffs and consumables. This retail category is at a better position to explore the module themes because it has a broad market. For instance, it is also essential to note there are no geographical barriers restricting people on the food that they consume, sustainability is an important aspect of foodstuffs and consumables category, and the use of technology in retailing has had a significant impact on the retail category.

The impact on minorities due to inequality
Introduction 
During the course of this class I have learned about social problems within the society in which we live and around the world. It is disturbing to learn that poverty, social inequality, race and cultural discrimination, gender stratification, environmental damage, population growth, and urbanization are among the social problems and controversial issues that still exist in the United States.

A lot has happened within the category of race relations within America’s past. Since the existence of minorities in America, they have been viewed as lesser in comparison to their white counterparts. Therefore they are valued less as a whole on an economic scale dictating the lives that they were systematically intended to live for decades to come. Consequently because of this systemic setup, known as racial inequality, it has become almost impossible for minorities to close the socioeconomic gap between them and their White counterparts. According to US Legal racial inequality can be defined as the discrimination based on race in opportunity for socioeconomic advancement or access to goods and services. The following sources have been gathered to help make the main point of my topic clear, racial inequality in the US can be solved. Therefore these sources will supply my audience with statistics and formal reason that make a strong argument. The sources suit the topic well due the range of coverage they have within the topic. They allow for the discussion of the theoretical causes for racial inequality, how race relations focus on minority problems (racial disadvantages) while excluding Whites as apart of the racial system (racial advantages/white privilege), the impact of the four central frames of colorblind racism, the acknowledgement that racial equality is decreasing between America’s largest racial ethnic groups, and a theoretical approach to solving racial

It is no secret that racial inequalities exist today and have for many years now. They have existed at many levels including institutional, collective, and personal. In this paper, I plan to show how previous policies created these inequalities, and explain how we can address these issues at all levels. I will also show which policies have had an impact on minorities in contributing to greater equality.

The 21-st century is characterized by the continuous economic downfall. The relationship between race, class and gender should be evaluated to identify the life chances of people to improve their relative position in our socially stratified world. The increased rates of unemployment, homelessness and poverty show that our society requires implementing a transformative approach to reduce social stratification. The term social stratification is applied to identify and asses different forms of inequality that exist in the US society. Patricia H Collins suggests, “while a piece of the oppressor may be planted deep within each of us, we each have the choice of accepting that piece or challenging it as part of the 'true focus of revolutionary change'” (p. 680). Inequality has become a universal feature of our society; therefore, it exists everywhere and concerns race, class, and gender as the key categories of society.

Society holds many structures that mould human performance and produce opportunities for some, but inequalities for others (Morrall, 2009). These structures in society are organized by the hierarchies of class, ethnicity and gender (Crossman, 2016). Due to having a society based on hierarchies, social inequalities are inevitable. Social inequality refers to the ways in which a group or individual of a certain social position may receive unequal opportunities or distribution of ‘goods’ such as education, income, living conditions and healthcare (Walker, 2009). These unequal opportunities may be given to someone because of their ethnicity, gender, income, religion or social class (Walker, 2009). For example, people in a high social class will be able to pay for their children to go to a good private school for a good education, whereas lower-class or working class people will struggle to afford the same education.

Soft goods specialty retailers are on a quest to grow, with the high-growth ``stars’’ working to maintain momentum by rolling out successful concepts nationally while investing in new concepts that offer long-term promise. The less stellar performers are reinvigorating tired concepts and strengthening margins via better inventory and promotion management. A saturated marketplace will motivate more specialists at both ends of the spectrum to seek growth by building a portfolio of concepts focused on ever-finer
