The dictionary defines pluralism as “a form of society in which the members of minority groups maintain their independent cultural traditions.” (Webster) Pluralism can also be described by the phrase the “melting pot,” where a place where races, and cultures are blended together. In the article “ What Is Pluralism?” written by Diana L. Eck , she describes 4 main characteristics of pluralism, and each point can be seen in the 2008 film Fremont USA, an example of a pluralistic city. It’s a California city that started off with a white farming people, than it slowly became one of the most diverse cities in the nation through immigration. One can say in today’s Fremont white people are the minority. But the most notable diversity is in their religious communities of this city.
Due to the physical appearance, Asian in the media was always strange and loathsome. The appreciation of the beauty in the mainstream media couldn’t rank the Asian, especially Asian men, among the top. The media liked to remake the exterior of Asian to be more fashion and cool to cover the race identity. In the video She bangs (William Huang), Huang was primped as a funnyman, so he complained that he wanted to be himself. Another case about Asian was Abercrombie & Fitch T-shirts with the logo “Two Wongs make it White” and the Two Wongs implied the yellow face working in laundry as cheap labors.
In the film Bordertown the filmmaker is trying to encoded a sense of fear, this is opinion of what the filmmakers was encoding. As a Hispanic man watching this film I got the idea that they were sending a signal stating that no matter how educated you are, no matter how much money you have you will still be beneath that of the white man. The emotional effects that a viewer can have is definitely a negative one. When Miss. Elwell called Johnny Ramirez a savage, though she might have been joking around it could be taken very offensive in the Hispanic community.

And once his career started he travelled around for ideas, At the age of 38 he married his cousin Marry French and had a baby girl name Margaret French Cresson a year later, it wasn’t long before Margaret followed in her father’s footsteps and became a sculpture too. She sculptured only marble busts and portrait heads. Daniel had created a lot of statues using a variety of materials; clay, plasters, marble and bronze. When Daniel finished his creations they would always be significant, to him, America or the world. Alma Mater is a bronze sculpture.
He also displays his imperialism in the Pankot Palace in contrast with the people who are depicted as alien and evil. In the banquet scene, the depiction of the “other” is represented by the repugnant food that they consume (Postone, Traube 5). This culinary distraction from the historical plotline of the narrative depicts them as disgusting as a result of their cuisine in contrast with American “normal” cuisine. Therefore, demeaning views of the other cultures in the film help to
BIBLIOGRAPHY 33 INTRODUCTION The imposition of guardianship and/or an administrator is a very serious situational event even if it is implemented with benevolent intent. The reason for this is that several paradoxes exist in the appointment of guardians to protect the interests of incompetent and frail elderly disabled adults. Contradiction exists at the very core and center of guardianship jurisdiction. This is because according to Carney and Tait (1997) p. 47, guardianship laws utilize a modern rhetoric in relation to personal rights. Such rights deem to promote not only autonomy but also are geared towards fostering independence and assisting those disabled, incapacitated and incompetent elderly to participate in social life.
If ‘Othello’ was a racist play then Othello would have been portayed very differently, more violent and rude, however he is shown as being much more respectful and calmer than the other men around him as illustrated in the quote, ‘approved good masters’. He then continues on to admit that he has indeed planned to marry Brabantio’s daughter, ‘it is most true; true that I have married her’. It was a stereotype in those days that black people were very sly and lied a lot, however the stereotype seemed to have been very wrongful in this case because Othello very bravely admitted to his actions and also says that that is the only ‘offense’ that he has commited, ‘The very head and front of my offending hath this extent, no more.’ A Shakespearian audience would normally expect a black man to be portayed as a very uneducated, sly and devilish character however these qualities are shown in Brabantio instead of Othello. Othello then talks about how he is a fighter, nothing more,
473), I learned that Abe Lincoln was actually a very humble man and was the complete opposite of a tyrant. However, in the movie they characterized Lincoln to be a little cocky and demanding. Another difference in the information in the movie and my knowledge is that I was taught that Abe was a very racist man and hated all of the blacks, but in the movie, he seemed to be sympathetic and respectful toward the blacks.

In the play, Hortensio describes Kat to Petruchio in order to explain how rude she is after telling him how much money her family has, “Her name is Katherina Minola, Renowned in Padua for her scolding tongue”(55). Hortensio introduces the idea of Kat to Petruchio and what kind of person she is and yet he still does not explain what her reason is for being that way. Neither does anybody, including Kat herself, give her a reason for her shrew attitude. In contrast, your film portrays her as a slightly different character. Rather than just being rude, she obviously has her opinions about certain things and sticks to them.
