The Positive And Cultural Aspects Of Cultural Discrimination In Society

Several students have IEP (individualized education plans) at my school. An IEP puts into writing the specific, individualized requirements for the child's education that must be fulfilled for that child to have an education which is commensurate with

The Kids at Ruth’s school truly didn’t like her just because she was Jewish. In high school, Ruth was cast as an ensemble dancer for a school musical, but due to the other students saying they didn’t want to have to dance next to a Jew, Ruth dropped out. (McBride P.105)

In the American system the curriculum serves 5, 000 students and more than 20 countries and we need to review and look at the IEP process. The question that has spark concerns is to look at students direct IEP and how we can look to evaluate it? How students benefits from an IEP and what would be the first logical steps to change the process. We have a mixture of students who are not all English speaking students from all backgrounds and have some disabilities. I’m not here to complain about the teachers in your system, you have wonderful teachers who capture student’s interest and encourage students learning. But we are here to address the IEP’s process issue.

People in dominant groups often perpetuate discrimination because it provides them separation and privilege. It is something that people have always done in order to exploit another group for personal gain. However; racism is a much newer concept that was built off that idea. It allowed groups of people to conquer one another, enslave them, take their territory, and oppress them. Now, to answer your question, the way to change racism is to be an ally and identify one's own privilege. Being an ally gives individuals the power to spread awareness and to educate them on the social construction of racism. These passionate people are the heartbeat for the movement to end racism. And no, simply not identifying ones race is not enough. Color blindness

Race is one of the most common ways people identify themselves. There are different advantages and disadvantages associated with different races. People are often judged on how they look and act. Some people benefit more than others just based on race. Others can be put at a disadvantage because of their sexual orientation. The family you are born into can have a major impact on how you are seen and what type of privileges and struggles you will face in life. Looking at my life specifically, I will reflect on how the culture, including race and gender, from the past and present can influence people’s lives in general and in education.

When I was in elementary and middle school, I had an IEP. My IEP was for help in reading and writing. I enjoyed reading, but I wasn't very good at it. I also couldn't, and still can't, spell. To this day, I have no idea why I was so bad at reading and writing. My parents read to me all the time and I tried so hard at it. With my IEP, I received services outside of the classroom. In early elementary, I probably spent 2-3 hours in a separate room and then that time decreased as I got older. I would also take my test in a separate room from the rest of my classmates. My friends didn't understand why I didn't stay in the room, and they saw it as unfair.

Why does the United States have to use this word called prejudice and why do we have to use this word to discriminate hate? People today in this generation as I am typing this paper they are either judging or misjudging one another by the color tone of their skin. Most or maybe all of us are being treated differently by their looks of their body parts, the stylish clothes they are wearing, or what type of things they do just to live to get thought the day without any trouble. Many of us have been through struggles to make their lives better to having luxury items to make them feel joyful to live their lives every day. Living their lives to the fullest, or the best way they can to make themselves feel special in a way.

Over the years the United States' government has continuously expressed their role as superpower to spread its military reach and idea of democracy throughout the world. The government has chosen to put U.S. troops on foreign soil to protect the rights of citizens in Allied countries. The United States has promoted itself as the beacon of freedom and equality for all citizens, men and women. So when thinking about women's rights in the United States, it can be easy to believe that we are the supreme example. However, according to the first map and topic in The Atlas of Women in the World, “States Against Discrimination,” the United States can be grouped

America was languishing as a nation because the people defaulted. "One hundred years later, the negroes are still languished in the corners of American society and finds himself in exile in his own land" (3). Even today we are struggling because of racism. It takes only one story or experience to hate all black or white people and that's the main cause of discrimination or racism. We are all brothers and sisters according to Martin Luther King Jr. If we don't continue to fight off discrimination and racism, Dr King risked his life for nothing. He died doing what he loved and believed in, spreading his speech through out America. "It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory

In the 21st century, we don’t often see issues regarding racism on account of our obligation to a constitution of human rights. We, the citizens of the United States, follow the constitution that prevents “states from denying any person life, liberty or property, without due process of law" and grants “any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” The citizens of the United States do not discriminate against one another. After centuries of activist movements and riots, we have learned to take pride in our diversity and stand together despite our differences in race or religion. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. referenced this day and age when he said “I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin,

My personal experience with racism has continuously been not only horrifying but also traumatizing. When I was still an adolescent, a Russian Employee yelled at me, cajoled me; ridiculing my attire that was revealing of my racial descent. I deduce this unfortunate experience as a continuum of the ethnic conception of the classical American society, which perceived persons from my racial fabric to be of least importance in the society and incompetent to partake in any progressive initiatives of the community. However, I made one novel observation having analyzed this incident keenly. The aggressor was a Russian. This portends a great shift from the manner in which racial discrimination was rooted in the society a century ago. By that time, any other Race apart from the original White American society was subject to discrimination. Even though my race was at the very bottom of the pecking order, it was unnatural for Russians to be on the offensive but now it seems that the society has changed a lot.

America is considered to be a country where the white’s authorizations are unearned, where social status is prominent and the whites are exceedingly knowledgeable. It is said to be true that once you have honored a culture or just anyone in general, they will honor you back. We have to believe that everyone is at once a noble and servant and every person on earth is equal. Furthermore, in this superiority population, it is very necessary for the minority such as African American, Asians, Pacific Islanders, Mexicans, etc. to bring together to create a better acceptance and position in America. There are too many people getting harassed, especially, killed and being sent to jail, and whatever else the case may be due to racist people. It is not

Living in today’s world, I am quite familiar of the rising issue of hidden prejudice, overt discrimination, ethnic chauvinism, racism, and other acts and feelings of underlying aggression toward people with certain characteristics. The problem of racism has been around since the beginning of the capitalist era, but still exists today, as race is one of the key factors of social classification in our society . In chapter two of Understanding Societies, Elizabeth Comack gives an account of the “starlight tours” phenomena from 1990 to the mid 2000’s, in which Aboriginal peoples were driven by police to the outskirts of Saskatoon and left to freeze . Comack also emphasizes the results of the racialization of blacks, stating that black residents

Racism is the belief that one race is superior to another. Discrimination has been going on for generations among generations. Many years ago people of different races were divided from each other. Public places were segregated, colored people had to use specific water fountains, schools were segregated, and blacks had to sit at the back of the buses. If they were to disobey, then there would be consequences and repercussions. Equality was a figment of imagination, a dream the minority groups had. Throughout the years racism has decreased and many things pertaining to racism were made illegal, but that doesn’t mean racism disappeared. If people were to resume racist behaviors, that can lead the world back to the days of inequality.

Discrimination comes in many forms. Discrimination and diversity are closely linked considering the reasons behind discrimination are what makes up the definition of diversity. Not only is discrimination made against gender, race, and religion, but it is also made of age, disabilities, appearance and in a lot of cases, women who are pregnant too. This is very much a reality for many employers. There are laws protecting acts of discrimination. This topic is so sensitive, that many employers implement diversity and discrimination into their mission statements. Many companies make it their practice to host training sessions to prevent discrimination from happening, then there are many companies who can’t afford such training for their
