Name: Instructor’s Name: Course Title: Date of Submission: Philosophy on Race The idea of race within the society continues to raise unanswered question regarding their roles in uniting the society. This is in regards to the divergence of the existence of problems within the community. In fact, racism is often invisible to most people because of various reasons. This essay will give a personal opinion concerning the connection between race and ethics, and the views of other philosophers on the same matter. As mentioned earlier, race is a problem that exists within societies.
In my opinion, the penalties for hate crimes should continue to be more severe than that of a regular crime because so many innocent people are injured and even killed simply because they are different. People should have the right to live in America free of fear that something will happen to them simply because they were not born a certain color, they practice a different religion or that they happen to be
Conflict arises from a clash of perceptions, goals, or values in an arena where people care about the outcome. Confusion can cause conflict because individuals in the organization want to achieve their own personal goals while also working with others to achieve the common mission of the organization. Conflict can be helpful in making necessary changes within the home or work environment. However, unresolved conflict can result in feelings of dissatisfaction, unhappiness, hopelessness, depression, and other emotions. Most conflicts in the workplace can lead to a lot of negative situations, such as being permanently dismissed from your job, work productivity can decrease, it can also increase absenteeism (which is having numerous absences from your job) and sometimes could even result in violence or serious crimes.
The separating of black and white has caused many problems in society and these inequalities are still felt today. Rebellion, revolution, boycotting and even riots, have led to tensions between the two races. Additionally, desegregating schools led to a learning gap between black and white students. The Constitution states that no state can make the law that takes away the rights and privileges of citizens making them immune to it. Desegregation of public places should be allowed because it is inequitable to separate humans based on the color or pigmentation of their skin.
The main effect is that ethnic stereotypes affect their normal life and bring so much inconvenience to them. Then, part of stereotypes increase cultural conflict and racial discrimination. It is difficult for people to get together and make friends with others. Meanwhile, we pay more attention on characteristics that stereotypes describe and ignore the special thing of each of us. In conclusion, although racial stereotypes talk about the advantages about them like the whiz-kid, they also have negative effects to people and the
A communitarian view on society states that each individual is responsible for his status inside a given community; that such a community is equally responsible for the status of its individuals. It states that any law or practice should be based on a purely democratic and not a simple majoritarian perspective. Polities should be determined to foster participation and deliberation, not to dictate policies but rather mandate a collective perspective. Indeed all this must be done, and more, in an effort to regulate a healthy society in which all individuals are equal in the community and that contribute equally back to the community. However, how can a society be democratic without being majoritarian?
MALCOM X REPORT My opinion Paper By: Joseph L. Jerry “We black men have a hard enough time in our own struggle for justice, and already have enough enemies as it is, to make the drastic mistake of attacking each other and adding more weight to an already unbearable load.” Malcolm X was completely accurate in saying this statement because we should not be attacking each other but helping focus on the things that are considered weight on our shoulders; Things in modern society such as racism, discrimination, and the weight of being look down upon because of stereotypes. I also don’t believe that this concept doesn’t just apply to African-Americans but all minorities succumbing to the same weights. As much as we may think that there
Abusing the privilege of having high authority is one power dynamic people use. Most leaders use this power dynamic, because they believe the law is in their hands and they are above it. This is catastrophically wrong, because society needs to have trust in authority, but if they cannot have that trust, then the system will have no use for anything. The essays “Talking Back, by Bell Hooks; Resistance to Civil Government, by Henry David Thoreau; and Aint I a Woman, by Sojourner Truth” all address the troubles such power dynamics like the abuse of authority -had an impact on their lives. The tyranny civilians felt was surreal.
This is reflected in their response to conflict, which is also unique. Different personal reactions to conflict and reactions controlled by the people surrounding the being also ensure that conflict is unique to the individual. Individuality is what makes a person a person. If nobody had distinctive qualities, the world would be full of cloned, boring people. This idea that everyone is different encompasses so many things about him or her.
King defended his belief of human rights for the betterment of society. He wrote in his “Letter from a Birmingham Jail”, “ Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. Never again can we afford to live with the narrow, provincial "outside agitator" idea.
