Man being the most superior creature of God has been assinged with immense talent but despite all his capabilities he needs to live in a society among other people with whom he is attached in different ways.

The old story that we find in the story books of children of a farmer using the bundle of sticks for inculcating the lesson of unity among his sons may seem old and childish but it has so much depth in itself if we ponder over it.And it is especially relevant to this present age when mankind has reached on a verge of destruction because of the various divisions that they have created among themselves.

    Uneven Roads Chapter 8 opens up with how difficult it would be to see a racial or ethnic group make any type of progress without identifying themselves as a group and aligning themselves together in order to achieve their shared interests. In other words, people gravitate towards certain group identities based on their race, ethnicity or gender. A very interesting point highlighted in the book and provided by political psychologists and sociologists, Henri Tajfel, John Turner, and Michael Hogg is that “social identity” or “group identity” are essential “to building a sense of community”. People are either automatically put into groups by external forces because of how they look, who they might identify with, etc. or they have personal attachments…

    Separation of groups and people is a product of society through the combinations of its laws, codes, policies, and actions. As quoted from an ethnic studies textbook, Racial Formation by Omi and Winant, "First we argue that racial formation is a process of historically situated projected in which human bodies and social structures are represented and organized" (pg 56-57). Another textbook used commonly in ethnic studies, A People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn, talks about American history in a chronological sequence. Each chapter talks on a certain event in American history as he retells the events, and focuses on the role of the people who were affected by it in great detail. Zinn does this to prove the fact that those who…

    Lastly, despite our widely diverse population, groups often naturally segregate themselves. Even simplistic situations such as the school lunch room have unintentional segregation. The popular kids, the nerds, the jocks, the goths, and even the dragon book kids (people who read the eight part thick book series), and they don’t intentionally self- segregate. As human beings, we enjoy being around people with similar opinions as we have. This is shown in Lisa Goessel’s movie trailer “My So- Called Enemy” where the girls say “they don’t want to build a bridge” (Gossels) to join the Palestinians and Israeli…

    This happened as Darwin’s concept of natural selection evolved from biology to human relationships. Scientifically, humans are “social animals”: our natural instinct is to identify ourselves with determined group. One group distinguishes itself from another because of competition. When confronting different population between each other, it is immediately noticeable the diversity of behaviors, and cultures. Populations are different, but there are not superior ethnicities: in fact, from a genetic point of view, populations do not even exist.…

    The Peoplehood Model

    • 5 Pages

    In the United States there are more than 150 ethnic groups that have been physically recorded. However, this number is only an estimate of what the exact number could be because it is exceptionally challenging to pinpoint an exact number in a melting pot country such as the United States. Within each one of these ethnic groups are people who have their own sacred history, where they originate, and what their beliefs are. As a human being, we must take into consideration that not everyone is going to have the same outlook or opinion as we do. For example, even though the land we live on in America unites us as a people, it does not symbolize the same meaning to each of us. My home could easily be a foreign sight to someone who lives in New York. This is just one example of why the United States does not fit each criteria of the peoplehood model.…

    The very first thing we are taught about how the world is divided- before classifying it as first, second and third world or even simply North, East, West and South- is that it is divided into different continents. These different continents are then associated with different problems, cultures, and histories amoung other things. This then makes it possible for people from different continents to be distinctive groups of people as Europeans, Africans etc.…
