Neo Marxism And Inclusionism

Similarly, a sociologist perspective on the social factors contributing to the issue would be through the Neo-Marxism and Inclusionism school of thought. To understand the condition of African Americans today, we must combine both schools of thought which recognize that African Americans are the minorities in society. The majority, whites, have political power and can create laws, circumstances and opportunities which can advantage or disadvantage African Americans, but oftentimes they do not recognize the experiences of minorities and judge through the eyes of the majority. These circumstances can be analyzed through the tension and adaptation created in universities and colleges that accepted mainly white students. Some Colleges and universities
accused of not accepting minorities adapted by lowering their acceptance standards to accept more minorities. Although many may deem this unfair, they see through the eyes of the majority and ignore the devastating generational experiences that play a huge factor in their upbringing and education. In summation, a sociologist would agree that a main social factor affecting the issues of today would be our political system and views.
Lastly, a psychologist would analyze the main social factor of arising issues today through psychoanalytic theory and the negative reinforcement of non- discriminatory acts towards minorities in the past. Psychologists believe that through many generations, these thoughts remain imbedded in our unconscious and affect our decisions.
