The American Scholar

African American Vernacular English (AAVE), or more commonly known as Ebonics, is derived from the words ebony, meaning black, and phonics, meaning the science of sounds. In essence, Ebonics is the science of black speech and language (Baugh, 2000, p. 2). According to early linguistic scholars, as told by John Baugh (2000), Ebonics is, in simplicity, a mixture of African and European languages that formed with African slaves (p. 3). The term Ebonics was coined in 1973 by a group of African Americans

that plague Scandinavian-Americanist historians and scholars stem from the general lack of public attention to their topic of study. Although many Americans still claim Scandinavian roots and Swedish and Norwegian communities still remain lively in several regions of the United States, the migrant group lacks the impact or presence (both in popular culture as well as demographically) that Irish of Italian migrants register in the mind of the American public.

 depict the minority’s real suffering, and resistance to the oppression of the dominant culture. They explain the effects of the American lifestyle upon their cultures saying that, “Dominant groups felt threatened by minorities, and/or superior to them, and/or simply indifferent to their well-being, and so attempted to assimilate, exclude, exploit or disempower them. This, in turn, led

The Second World War had recently ended which allowed a great multitude of African American soldiers to return home not willing to accept the status quo of being Second-Class citizens. This created an environment ripe for social upheaval on a national level. There was also the struggle of getting world powers to choose democracy over communism

Compare and Contrast John Locke was a scholar who lived from 1632-1704. Locke worried about the absence of limitations on sovereign authority. As a man that was pro government for the people, he viewed politics as for the people or the people shall revolt. In stark contrast, Thomas Hobbes, who lived through much turmoil as well from 1588-1679, such as a civil war in Britain which lasted from 1642-1648 thought a sovereign leader was the only way to protect society from itself (Riemer, Simon, and

Not only do African Americans lack the resources they can bring into the educational system, but are trapped into an unsupportive system and school structure on the basis of merit, which marginalizes African American students and negatively affect their academic achievements. White standards and values are the foundations of how the schools are run. For example, schools never acknowledge and integrate black vernaculars into any aspect of the curriculum(Hooks). African Americans have to adjust and

Scholars should not be imprisoned for interacting with their international community. Scientists should not be kept from contributing to their community. China, for instance, wants to be seen as a modern country, and is involved in the international community
