In countries like China, the freedom of religion is denied to all the residents there. The freedoms of speech, press, and assembly are also denied. This is because for the longest time China has been nervous of a rebellion of the people because as a whole, the population is angry. They are angry that they can’t do the things or have the rights that we do as Americans. Even inside the borders of our great nation, the Constitution shows that it’s still relevant to the American society.
Chinese civilization during the classical era, which lasted about 400 years, was marked by social anarchy and political strife. Despite tumultuous changes in Chinese leadership, which undoubtedly contributed to the chaotic state that existed, religious beliefs, mores and family values, surprisingly, remained fairly constant. The Han dynasty was the ruling dynasty overthrown during the classical era. Three hundred years of political turmoil followed. Borderland Nomads invaded and attacked China, with little resistance from the Chinese, because they did not have an organized military or a military leader.
I can just imagine what it would be like to be degraded because of your skin color. Although I am Chinese, I still face racism daily and could never truly understand the difference that blacks go through compared to whites, unless I went to the extreme like Griffin did. He could really understand every aspect of what it is like to be of color during the 1950’s. Griffin now understands how differently he was treated since he was black. His constitutional rights were stripped from him the minute he put the black paint on.
If there was a restaurant which is run just by men from ethnic minorities often get paid less than a group of white men running a restaurant. Reasons for this may be because men from ethnic minorities often come from a worst education than white men. Geography is another factor which can influence this side of an unequal society because with some ethnic minorities concentrated in areas of high unemployment, or far from public transport or in industries which are shrinking fast. This may be because when they immigrate to England they are only after a job and they are not aware of how much they should be getting paid and they are not aware of their rights in terms of a job and pay. P1 * People in lower socioeconomic groups have less opportunities People in lower socio-economic groups do not have as much education as the upper class.
It was his ‘deliberate opinion’ that the Chinese were ‘morally, the most debased people on the face of the earth’. Sexual practices which in other countries were ‘barely names, are in China so common that they excite no comment among the natives’”.10 Depriving people of their rights, discriminating people against on the basis of their ethnic group, their gender, or their place on the professional ladder can be a means of enslaving them. Because people may not get access to the same rights and liberties, may not be protected as they could. Likewise, the system of indentured servitude is, if not as harsh as slavery per se, another form of slavery, because as we saw in the various documents and courses, one is not totally free to defend oneself, as one has to pay back. Indebted one is.
The origins of illegal immigration date to the late nineteenth century. “In 1875, a federal law was passed which prohibited entry of convicts and prostitutes. In 1882 President Chester A. Arthur banned almost all Chinese immigration to the United States, and shortly thereafter barred paupers, criminals and the mentally ill from entering. Although this affected only a small percentage of immigrants, there were now distinctions between legal and illegal immigration” (End Illegal Immigration).According to this quote which came from the article “Americans working to stop Illegal Immigration” the United States has always had a problem with illegal immigration. Even though immigrating illegally to America might be considered wrong and a crime by some American people sometimes it’s necessary.
8 years ago I witnessed something I wouldn’t forget.What I saw was an act of social injustice.I saw black man get arrested for no reason at all,brutality dropped,tazed,and pepper sprayed.These acts of social injustice has been happening since the 1950’s.To this day races that are not white are being racially discriminated just because the color of their skins.These social injustices would never be a thing if there weren't any prejudice police or people.I certainly believe that over time progress has not been made. Some might say what I saw that day was not police brutality,others also might say that he was carrying a weapon of some sort. When the police had checked his pockets he only had a couple of dollars.He was an innocent man walking down the street brutally arrested, and sent to jail. Leonard Pitts is a writer that wrote about white privileges, in an article he had wrote “...a 63 year old white man ...stood with a rifle on a street in Kalamazoo,Michigan.when the police arrived he refused to to identify himself ,grabbed his crotch ,flipped them the bird and cursed.”Pitts then writes “they talked him down in an encounter that lasted 4o minutes.house man was not arrested.the next day,he got his
Since the Chinese workers were excluded from the celebratory moment of the finish of the Transcontinental Railroad in the late 1800’s and the introduction of the exclusion laws preventing other Chinese citizens from entering the United States of America, to modern times and the anti-immigrant feelings coming through the radio and television a majority of United State citizens opposed immigration. Whether it is because of the group threat theory, the contact theory or cultural theory, or a combination of all three Americans do not like immigrants. Whether those feeling can dissipate throughout time or not can only be known waiting it does not seem like that is going to happen in the near
It means that there were jobs that were classified as superior jobs that paid more and high skill levels, and then there were the jobs that were the “blue collar” jobs with the lower level skills. Many who had the higher skills to work a primary job were placed in secondary jobs due to their race. The internment camps were the worst that had happen to Japanese Americans. They were taken from their daily lives and forced into a camp, where they had to live their lives. It was all because the United States and its people were afraid of a homeland internal attack.
To make the situation even worse for the Chinese, California amended its constitution in the late 1870s, which restricted Chinese immigrants from citizenship; in-turn prohibiting anyone from hiring them legally. The discrimination and resentment of Chinese immigrants swelled up and continued throughout the nineteenth century, ultimately leading to the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, which limited the number of Chinese immigrants to only 105 per year. The Chinese population in California faced strict housing laws which forced them to live in segregated neighborhoods. Because of the heavy discrimination against Chinese, the men who worked on the railroad moved eastward into Louisiana
