Doaism’s higher being is called the Dao; the Anslem’s higher being is the Christian God; and the religion of Ganesha’s higher being is the Hindu god, Ganesha. They all have followers, which are Dao’s Chinese followers, Anslem’s Christian followers, and Ganesha’s Hindu followers.

Within both of the cultures, societal role was often determined by ethnicity as well as gender and Few points out that the perspective of historians has always been shaped by the assumption that this discrimination led to the utter oppression of those in marginalized groups. Women Who Live Evil Lives serves to denounce this general assumption by telling stories of women who despite having all the cards stacked against them, managed to assume places of “cultural authority” in both slave society and the society at large. In order to effectively analyze Few’s argument about cultural authority, we must first take a look at the gender and racial distinctions that existed in Santiago de Guatemala during the time of the Audiencias. Ethnic discrimination, was a major part of colonial

We have also seen similar occurrences taking place after World War 2 where California’s Chinese and Japanese population experienced discrimination after a massive launch of racial propaganda was spread by it’s white workers as they believed that their security of getting jobs was threatened. Immigrants from the middle east have especially been the target of both religious and ethnical discrimination as they often are being associated with terrorists after several devastating attacks around the world caused by religious fundamentalists that share the same religion, Islam, but yet very different beliefs in how the Koran should be interpreted.

Since the beginning of time, which is evident even in the holy bible, racism and discrimination occurs quite frequently. Will it ever be an end to this ongoing problem?
