Though an extremely new medium, social media has seemed to completely alter the way Americans think, especially among the Millennial generation. It is another perfect example of how our lack of sense and reason has transformed something that was designed to increase our social capabilities into a way to rant, boast, and bully. Instead of using social media to communicate and connect positively, our society has used it to create countless issues and distractions that only deter and detract from developing our social…

Discrimination issues have been an unsolved problem in The United States. Over the years this problem has progressively improved for the better, but there is lots of work to be done. One of the most impactful types of racism shown in our country is culture based. The different racial communities all go through their own issues, however the Asian-American community has a serious struggle between FOBs and Twinkies, as shown in Grace Hsiang’s “FOBs vs Twinkies”. The community must also deal with racism within themselves. Black men and women also deal with this terrible issue of racism on a day to day basis. It can be extremely hard for them, just as the racial discrimination issues were…
The murder of Michael Brown has led to an international protest against racial profiling on minorities. Media and ideology are main perpetrators of racial clichés that plague the black and Latino community. For that reason, the education system is impacted by this attitude and maintains an imbalanced program toward blacks and Latinos. Hence the first step to end this modern racism is to acknowledge its existence and to stop believing that all races face mutual prejudice, it is then the problem could be diagnosed by an accepting school structure that encourages excellence in all its students. In order to prevent criminalization, one must start at a young age to influence these youth that recognition and acceptance should not have the dire exchange of…
Race and ethnicity can be a controversial and a highly debated topic in modern sociology. Within various ethnicities, we can see that with the history of race there is a continuous struggle to be accepted and/or fit in. Reviewing our current culture and the effect that the history of race has had it, we can see that it has shaped our current generation. Additionally, it demonstrates our growth as a sociologically aware country and generation. For this review, we assessed three different video clips: Trevor Noah On Apartheid and the Social Construction of Race, "Big Easy to Big Empty", and "Little Rock Central: 50 Years Later. (I removed the A clip from before each video because it was mentioned in the beginning of the sentence that they were…

Racism is the hardest one to discuss but I am doing my best to help student to discuss.Also I want to mention something , I want to change their idea about how they can discuss this kind of topic. For example, if you are a white american and you are not racist so I do not have to discuss or talk about any thing that some white people has done in their history. Even though he or she are not racist , he or she belongs to this part. By knowing how to interact with people and learning the history and discussing that in a good why without avoiding talking about it that is a tool that I want to see them using it after they pass this course.…
Racism is a concern that is encompassed in multi cultural issues and if we would want to fully eliminate it from our society, the first step should be to promote multi cultural education in schools especially from lower grades which should be continued as the students progress further up . Through promoting this education, the students will be able to understand and appreciate the uniqueness and diversity of their various cultures.…
We always have the same news like there was a car crash it was an Asian driving and couldn’t see in front and then people have that notion of saying see Asian can’t drive look at that car crash they got themselves into. The media will blow it up out of proportion and saying Asian are good with everything else but driving or some sort of racist remarking depending of the problem. The media will cover pot heads story how a local white person was growing weed plants around his back yard and didn’t expect to get caught until today because he wanted Starbucks. They usually make fun of that all white people are druggy’s well that’s not the case but a lot of people believe that because of social media because we profile ourselves to think that way because we feel it’s safer for us which is not true its actually doing a lot more harm than good us profiling is causing a lot of death this should be a wakeup call and stopping racial profiling because if we don’t they might be greater problems down the line if this gets too big of a problem that even we the people might get to a point where they’re going to act very violent or the mean comments that are made because it offends us because they comments will be like, “you people did this” the other person receiving all this negativity will be like we people that’s racist and they will…
Subjects and ideologies about race and immigration in the United States portrayed in narratives that talk down, consequently antagonizing them. Underrepresented students need to understand that their experiences in the classroom are “essential in order to better serve their educational needs” (Rojas-Sosa, 2016). In some classroom settings, some instructors justify their actions, but the freedom of speech amendment and censorship that doesn’t allow open discussions about racism. A student we shall call E is from Mexico plus Spanish is her first language. “When describing her experience of students laughing at her because she has a difficult time speaking English in the classroom” (p. 79), it hasn’t affected her “long term,” yet she felt ashamed at the time. It wasn’t because of the students’ attitudes towards her but because she felt as if she hadn’t completed the assignment correctly. Furthermore, the teacher did not stop the students from laughing at her, which made her feel worse. Another student, M, is from the Dominican Republic and recognizes that occasionally there is tension in the classroom when other students have expressed offensive opinions because they don’t understand the closeness she feels with the relevant cultural background material discussed, and they don’t understand why she might feel offended by their opinions…
These people believe that social media can boost gender equality. An article states, “Social Networking holds potential to boost the economic, political and social empowerment of women, and the promotion of gender equality” (Lakshmi). This displays that media can promote gender equality and also shows that media can show that woman are just as equal and powerful as men. However, what people don’t understand is that kids, teens and maybe even adults do what society usually does and society usually does whatever they see on media correspondingly, not everything in media is positive. For example, all the cyber-bulling that people have done because of gender perception has lead to many deaths in the past. Overall, media impacts societies perception of gender negatively and has lead to harsh problems in the lives of many because of…
