This sometimes confuse us, but the answer is obviously the people born and raised in the USA. Bharati Mukherjee, in her beautiful essay “American Dreamer”, excellently mentioned that, “we are a culture that lacks any form of hyphenated descriptions, such as Asian- American, because we are all Americans living in the same homeland, "America. "(Mukherjee par. According to Mukherjee, on this quote she is trying to explain that sometimes people in the United States are misinterpreted.
So the only person that can help you is you. America can’t put all of its trust in anybody. Doing that would just set yourself up for a huge disappointment. Just like the immigrants were, when they found out that America wasn’t the golden place they thought it
As people we should have the freedom to think and believe whatever we want, no one else should be able to tell you that what you think and believe is wrong or right in a sense that would make it illegal to believe that. In America this law is not implied and that is the reason that people from all different countries risk their lives to come to America. They want a new start where they can be themselves and believe what they want, the opposite of what this law/idea will do when implied. This is one of the reasons America is considered one of the greatest countries to live in.
While the dimension of race is often the sole focus when the topic of diversity is addressed, diversity includes the entire spectrum of an individual’s primary dimensions, including race, ethnicity, gender, age, religion, disability, and sexual orientation. The term also encompasses secondary dimensions, including communication style, work style, organizational role/level, economic status, and geographic origin. This paper could focus on any one of the primary or secondary dimensions listed above. I focus on racial demographics because, as noted by retired General Shinseki above, racial diversity is a source of strength for the Army. It is my belief that race—and in particular, the dynamics between blacks and Whites—play a unique and historically significant role in issues of diversity in the Army.
“This is racism, a definition for racism would be treating a person on, the basis of his or her race first, rather than as a person.” (Martin, 1990) The refugee crisis is a prime example of people’s social identity being influenced by racial status. This issue is an ongoing problem that might never be resolved if society continues to fail on trusting people based on their race. Innocent refugees not able to settle in countries because society has deemed them insignificant and inferior to their own safety, this is evidence that things need to change in relation to the way in which we view
I see America can mean something different to everyone. There is no one aspect that can wholly and truly define the vast, varied nation. To some it simply represents home, to others it stands for freedom, refuge, or the land of opportunity. Still to others it is a great force, a country to be reckoned with. Some see America as a peace keeper while others blame it for their misery.
Much like religious groups, race is real but not biological in the sense that a complex array of social processes go into making a person a member of a particular religious group as holds true for race. Recognizing race as socially constructed means several things. First we must understand race is a classification system that was invented, created by human beings, and therefore man-made rather than natural. Second, we must understand race is socially created – not the work of a single individual but rather the product of masses of people who form a society. Just like language, no single person invented English, or Spanish, or Korean, but languages are real social phenomena that millions of unnamed people have shaped.
Early perceptions agree that racial differences did not exist. The evolutionary perspective on human origins show how the idea of racial differences originated. The starting point on how racial differences started cannot be precisely pin pointed. Louis L. Snyder believed that any “racial differences that have been established thus far are so much dependent on outer circumstances that no proofs can be stated for the existence of innate or inborn racial differences”. Both modern scientists and historical views of human origins support and contradict his claims on racial differences.
Diversity and Inclusion SOC 315 February 19, 2011 Diversity and Inclusion Cultural diversity, especially in the present age, is evident in most every area of the world. According to Dictionary.com, cultural diversity is defined as “ethnic, gender, racial, and socioeconomic variety in a situation, institution, or group; the coexistence of different ethnic, gender, racial, and socioeconomic groups within one social unit” (Cultural diversity, p. 1). This definition will give one the general dimensions of cultural diversity. Many dimensions of cultural diversity exist, a few of which will be covered here. One of the most common dimensions of cultural diversity is gender.
INTRODUCTION There is a strong disagreement on the question whether identities in society are socially constructed or naturally formed. Perhaps the disagreement is because of the common definition of identity. The definition of identity as a “social category” captures almost all groups in our society – those believed to be socially constructed like “engineers as a category of people in society” and those believed to be naturally formed like “religious groups”. This paper will focus on ethnic identity, its formation and how formed ethnic identities affect relations in society. Ethnic Identities are socially constructed.
