First Reflection According to Satzwewich and Liodakis (2013)‚ “race is defined in terms of physical or genetic characteristics‚ or an ascriptive characteristic” (p.13). If one were to take an introspective look at society today‚ it is apparent the issue of race is one which is still prevalent spurring many divisions.

Advocates of Realism theory contend race and ethnicity are truths that contribute to an over arching make-up that equals an innate social identity.

Race should not be considered in a social matter‚ such as job interviews‚ events‚ and any other occasions of interaction. Race is simply biological. It is a part of them‚ yet to others‚ it shouldn’t matter what color of skin or where a person origins are set unless it affects a situation or is needed to be addressed. In the modern world‚ race cannot go unnoticed‚ but people do not have to let it influence the way they act towards a person. In the essay‚ “What is Race?” by Victor M. Fernandez‚ the
