However the HOC is not effective in carrying out this function because ethnic minorities are not fairly represented as there are now only 27 MP’s that are from ethnic minority groups, this is not representative of society as a whole. Labour recognition of ethnic minorities is the best out of all political parties as they have chukka umanna, who is of Nigerian and Irish descent. As well as this, the gender representation in the HOC is also poor as only 21 percent of the HOC is female, leading to women being underrepresented in politics. Younger views are also not fairly represented as the average age of MP’s still remains high, which could affect the political interest of younger people. The FPTP electoral system doesn’t allow fair representation as it only allows the winner to take the seat in any constituency, this means that parties that have a large share of the votes, don’t win seats accordingly.
Also, these schools cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to attend. That makes it possible for only the rich to attend these schools. The majority of wealthy Americans are Caucasian. That means that the majority of students that attend these schools are Caucasian because they are the only people who can afford these types of educations. Because of this, it makes it incredibly difficult for minorities to receive an education of this level.
Glenn Tinder: Are Human Beings Estranged in Essence? Glenn Tinder in Political Thinking raises such questions needing reconciliation. When presented with Tinder’s questions, I was confronted with overcoming estrangement as a political issue. “Are human beings estranged in essence?” presented the most precedence of all the questions in the book. I view overcoming estrangement as a path towards conformity because overcoming estrangement requires abolishing our freedom and liberty, our free will.
There are many extreme problems with racial profiling, but one that automatically comes to mind that seems most prominent is the fact that it targets and violates the rights of a multitude of innocent citizens and leaves minorities vulnerable to abuse by law enforcement agencies. In 2013, there were roughly three million Arabs who called the United States their home of the estimated 300 million Arabs that occupied the world at that time (Ramirez). It is also a likely observation that a wide array of Arabs not living in the United States will eventually visit the country at least once in their lifetime. Therefore, belonging to Arab or Muslim descent are cultures too widely shared to make up a distinct discriminated profile. As stated in Defining Racial Profiling in a Post-September 11 World, “Moreover, only an infinitesimal percentage of Arabs or Muslims can be expected to be
For many years, it was common for a leader of a nation to possess a certain amount of competence in terms of linguistic ability. It is a feature seen in great leaders from ancient times, our modern era and all history in between. It simply is a necessary skill to appeal to the masses one attempts to lead, and to negotiate with rival nations. This is why I personally believed that someone with a narrow vocabulary and inadequate grammar knowledge could never achieve a political position of power such as, for example, the American presidency. You could say my vision on this shattered a year ago, when Donald Trump was elected as 45th president of the United States.
They had substantial overlap but differed on their reasons for opposing the Constitution. One of these factions, led by many celebrated patriots such as Patrick Henry, opposed the Constitution on the grounds that it neutered the
Whetstone 1 Alexander Whetstone Professor Risch English 100 Research paper Understanding a culture is more difficult than it seems to be, because an observer can define a lot of cultures with stereotypes in mind. No one that I know would proudly call their self a redneck unless they are directly pointing to any specific archetype directed towards them. Others are sucked into lifestyles that are completely contrasted to their particular personalities and beliefs, such as homeless people. This is a culture that completely intrigues me into researching why humans live this way and how they manage to do it. During my younger days, I use to perceive the homeless as a problem consisting of the lower class society full of failures,
With this said, Buchanan believes that by 2050 there will be three times the population that there was in the ‘60s – 420 million. Immigration as intimidating as it may sound does not pose a threat to a country that has been inhabited by people all over the world long ago before the Immigration Act was passed in 1965. The US has a long history of rich culture and diversity, and even though Buchanan emphasizes that the US is losing its culture, it has in fact been enriching it for a very long time. As words are replaced in every-day vocabulary, so are the customs and the way of living of a population. It is also irrelevant whether the size of the population increments or not as long as old- day traditions are preserved.
Others think of smoking, drinking and breaking rules. Rebel, by definition, means: A person who resists any authority, control, or tradition. However, each person bases their own definition on their personal experiences and their ideology. So, who is a rebel? A person who is willing to push invisible lines and challenge the greater authority, be it the parents or the government.
It is possible for one of them to have lived here for decades without learning to speak English fluently. One of the reasons this is possible is because of the concentration of the racial group in one area. If one does not have to reach outside of their community often to get what they want, then they do not have anything to adapt to. It is very likely in places like the border states, California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas, where 70% of all Mexican immigrants in America reside. The overt racism has subsided since the early 20th century, and the strong feelings and sentiments are still present.
