Race Ethnological Analysis

Currently, Race is defined as, a group of people sharing the same culture, history, language, etc.; an ethnic group. We need to evaluate Race as a social construct rather than a cultural and biological idea. Race needs to be redefined so that it does not hold a profoundness similar to how biological or cultural characteristics would. As we identify the futility of categorizing people by superficial and generic qualities, we begin to accept the complexity of more important human distinctions in an ethnological means. Considering Race as a recent way of thinking strips away its power within societal norms of a westernized culture. Exhausting the power Race has over our thinking will improve the way we interact with one another. When we stereotype
groups of people based off of superficial characteristics, we encourage prejudice and ignorance. This is not an order to ignore or dismiss skin color, but rather a call to realize how categorizing people by superficial physical attributes into a singularity does more harm than good.
