Post-racial America means "a theoretical environment in which the United States is free from racial preference‚ discrimination‚ and prejudice" (Wikipedia). Despite America being a multicultural‚ heterogeneous country‚ often referred to as a "melting pot"‚ such idealistic concept seems to be a far-fetched dream. Many saw the election of Barack Obama‚ the country’s first black president‚ as a step forward in race relations and a sign that America is willing to put its racist past behind. After all

The term Post-impressionism is used to describe late 19th century art that rejects the “capture-the-fleeting-moment” attitude of Impressionism and is characterized by bright colors and defined brushstrokes as opposed to the impasto approach of impressionists.

Post Colonialism Theory To understand the post colonialism theory‚ I believe that we must first take a brief look at how we got here. In order to reach the post era‚ we first must walk through the challenges and lessons of those before us. How else would the history that we have to teach us today be there‚ how else would we have the literature to educate us? Colonialism was all about the newer‚ bigger‚ better lands and though these lands had natives already‚ they were just another obstacle. They

Post-racial‚ a term that was born after Barack Obama’s electoral success in 2009 is defined by the urban dictionary as an utterly imaginary and fictional term‚ much like “pixie-dust” because no such thing exists. In other words‚ despite the powerful symbolism of Obama’s election‚ black and Americans are still living in two different worlds. Post-racial is just one of many other terms that only distorts the discussion of race and gives people who wish to interfere with the discussion

the expertise of target managers over decision making within target functional activities” (cited in Zaheer‚ Castañer and Souder 2011‚2). Puranam‚ Singh and Chaudhuri (2009) states: “The target’s routines and processes can be undermined by a lack of post-acquisition target autonomy” (cited in Zaheer‚ Castañer and Souder 2011‚2).

1. Post Hoc In my community news‚ called Neighbor News‚ I was reading an article on a Saturday Morning called‚ “Follow All the Rules to Keep the Hounds Happy” (Kintish). This article talks of the Happy Hound Playground‚ a dog park in Denville‚ NJ. It discusses the rules and regulations that need to be followed for the benefit of the dogs’ and owners’ health. However‚ this is a post hoc fallacy‚ because the article title makes the reader believe that the dogs become happy if all the rules are followed
