#1. When john’s mother sees Lenina and Bernard she’s ecstatic and begins to explain how she got stuck in that tribe and why she couldn’t leave ending in her horrifying lenina. For example when she says, “-After all these years! A civilized face. Yes, and civilized clothes” (101). This is because she was once part of the more civilized society but because of her circumstances was forced to stay; even so her conditioning is still intact. She repeats how everyone belongs to everyone to lenina and how when she slept with several women’s men she was beat for doing so. She also says she finds this maddening, she’s still not used to the society

    Throughout U.S. history African Americans were considered colored peoples, and they were forced to endure slavery. In the United States, slavery was formed from using people whom were forced to serve as slaves by capturing and sold at auctions. They were then forced to work on plantations as a slave labor which existed as a legal institution in North America. Slavery existed more than a century before the founding of the United States in 1776. In 1865, following the American Civil War, slavery was outlawed in the United States and slaves became emancipated or freeman. The first English colony in North America, Jamestown, acquired its first African slaves in 1619 by the Dutch. Slavery was a one of the key factors which contributed to the American Civil War which lasted from 1861 to 1865. Once slaves became freeman, many states developed laws which were created to disenfranchise African-American’s from voting. A group of African-American women decided to establish the first national black organization in the United States. From the time of slavery, children were bought and sold into slavery. Many times, white masters and owners would beat and force their enslaved women into having intimate, sexual relationships. Almost all slaves were of African descent and from the 16th to the 19th centuries; an estimated 12 million Africans were shipped as slaves to the Americans.…

However when an outsider is who names that group from a different perspective the association behind that name may change the social outcomes of how the group is perceived.

When analyzing what makes that category of race one must consider what the markers are that set up that concept. Markers are what essentially make a category of identity known in the way one may use it to categorize…

    Theodore William Allen was an independent writer, working intellectual and activist. He is known for his works that contributed a great deal in theory that is critical of race and the origins of it. He wrote a lot on concepts of racism and the special privileges of the white people. His vast interest in racial segregation, which derives from a made up concept is what perhaps, pioneered this work on “The Invention of the white Race”. He defines race and where it comes from and how it was used to separate oppressed people from each other.…

    CRT is known as the Critical Race Theory. This is a theory that social workers use to recognize, analyze and help change the dynamics of racism. When looking at social work in the terms of child welfare, it becomes clearer of racism. In the child welfare system, there are more African Americans in foster care than white child. Case workers often find African American parents as being for aggressive and the unification progress usually take longer. Since there is a stereotype among African Americans in general, they had a harder time finding a permanent home. As social workers, we should use CRT and impenetrate a more positive message. When working with child welfare, the social worker…

    Mark Twain’s satire consistently addresses the shortcomings of man, as seen in both his commentary on the hypocrisy of slavery within The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and the juxtaposition of humans with “primal” animals within “The Damned Human Race.” By taking characteristics generally considered to be superior aspects of humans, such as patriotism, religion and reason, and revealing inferiorities instead, Twain satirizes humans’ assumption of superiority based solely on augmented intellectual capabilities. Twain views religion not as a path toward enlightenment, but as an excuse to butcher members of opposing faiths. Combining a positive characteristic and its antithesis in a single sentence— “He is the only animal that loves his neighbor as himself, and cuts his throat if his theology isn’t straight”—allows Twain to reveal inconsistencies within mankind’s “spotless”…
