“The assistant coach's job is really a fairly flexible one. Some of the factors that will make one assistant coach's role different than the next are: How many assistant coaches the team has, the degree that the head coach is willing to delegate and the assistant coach's individual talents and experience” (Jordan). The main thing that sets apart one success of an assistant coach from a different success of a different assistant coach, is the experience that the coach withholds relevant to sports. Experience is one of the most important pieces of knowledge a person could ever obtain. Experience is what creates both your reputation and your skill set, you learn from things you have experienced and because of those successes, you have created yourself credibility in the sport industry but also an outstanding resume for the future.
The existence of interpersonal communication is a given in persuasion research. Although one could conceivably be persuaded by the facts alone (without the intervention of a source), that would generally be characterized as learning rather than persuasion. The only controversial aspect of the above definition is the inclusion of the word intentional. It seems to this writer that receivers who overhear an argument and find it convincing have been persuaded, even though the source never intended to convince them, however, this quibble with the definition need not affect its adoption here. Which, verifies the studies of effectiveness and risk with attempting to use humor with persuasion,
Despite common expectation, that members of such a community should "know better", various forms of racism in the community have become so normalized that they are simply brushed off. Racism however is prevalent in the LGBTQ community and as a result Black Gay males suffer from the invisibility of a black gay voice as well as conflicting social identifiers, and even worst black gay stereotypes. In this essay, using the works of Rinaldo Walcott, Audre Lorde, and Ron Simmons, I will identify and analyze instance of racism in Toronto’s LGBTQ community, How stereotypes and the conditional acceptance within the community are the cause of black gay males being marginalized, excluded, and suffering while living with inequality on a regular basis. I will also explain how improving the current state of racial communications between individuals in the community can change the lives of the community and society. Within the LGBTQ Community, there are several instances of racism, that are swept under the rug.
Double consciousness forces blacks to not only view themselves from their own unique perspective, but to also view themselves as they might be perceived by the outside world. Du Bois spoke of this when he talked about “the sense of looking at one’s self through the eyes of others”. As a result, blacks can suffer from a damaged self-image shaped by the perceptions and treatment of white people. Black life in turn can easily become shaped by stereotypes perpetuated by mainstream culture. According to Du Bois the prejudices of white people elicit “self-questioning, self-criticism, and lowering of ideals” among black people.
It is unquestionably accepted that the African Diaspora of the United States has clearly been disadvantage by slavery and long standing oppression from white supremacy. However, it is not as unequivocally understood that whites are not the sole perpetrators of colorism in the United States. Color bias is also widely apparent among African Americans. Therefore, we can define colorism as inter-and interracial discriminations based on skin color stratification (Hunter, 2005). The context of colorism is complex and nuanced in many respects: it is not just simply a question of noticeably brown skin (phenotypically African) versus noticeably whiter skin (phenotypically European).
Many believe that because of our nations progress regarding racial issues, that racism is no longer a problem or even roadblock in people’s lives. This seems to be pure ignorance and even racism on most people’s part, whether it be intentional or not. Now while the advancements in our society have been great, racism is still very much alive today, and I think WEB DuBois would share a similar opinion. Concerning pay inequity, not only gender but race is a huge factor in the wage gap. A black man and a white man can have the same job and the white man can still be paid more.
(37) Schuyler felt that by viewing Negro art as unique and separate, it helped to perpetuate myths of racial inferiority. Jane Kuenz points out that though declarations of difference were a large part of the Harlem Renaissance, “they were also frequently forthcoming from white speakers where they were often prefaced by concerns for preserving the racial integrity of white America, by which is meant its economic and social privilege” (Kuenz 182). Schuyler also makes the point that the same language used to defend the “peculiarity” of Negro art was used by slaveholders to justify slavery (38). Schuyler’s opinion that African Americans and Caucasian Americans are much more alike than different, is illustrated in his novel Black No More. Schuyler posits the invention of a machine which can use “electrical nutrition and glandular control” (11) to change Blacks into Caucasians.
It also shows Conrad's feelings toward the treatment of Africans which aren’t easily understood. An anonymous writer writes, “Conrad’s excellence in style is very controversial; some believe that he is a literary genius", while others “criticize him for being limited, pretentious, and vague." In my opinion he is a great man who seeks social change and improvement. He is often considered racist by other readers but he is simply writing down his observations such as people’s actual actions and thoughts. That in turn scares people because of the fact that someone might reveal that Caucasians believed that they were the superior race and the belief in "White Supremacy, African inferiority."
Is there a difference between ‘equality of opportunity’ and ‘equality of outcome’? I will argue that equality of opportunity and outcome are not distinguishable. ‘Formal’ equality of opportunity doesn’t go far enough to equalise what should be equalised. Real equality of opportunity stipulates that all morally arbitrary factors should be equalised, but if you are saying this than you must consider things such as talent as morally arbitrary. If you endorse real equality of opportunity than it is unclear where to stop, and in the end equality of opportunity will just end up being equality of outcome because if you have to equalise everything, everyone will be end up being given the same.
"Prejudice is a preconceived judgement or opinion, usually based on limited information" (Tatum 1997). According to Tatum, prejudice is "inescapable in a racist society". It is impossible to ignore that prejudice is alive and well in a society that marginalizes people of color. David Wellman defines racism as a "system of advantage based on race". Systemic Racism is deeply rooted in the United States and thus shaped individual perceptions on race in a prejudice manner.
