...Final Paper With diversity it has a bigger hold on certain people then other and the only part of this class that I really understood was racial profiling so learning more about prejudice but it was complicated because of the different types of things that come along with it because you may think someone was being prejudice towards you but you don’t know what way they were being towards you and having to try and diagnosis it can be difficult. I think that it can be harder to profile a certain racial profile because you never know what may have been up with that person past and I have always believed that every man is equal unless he or she has given enough reason to say other than that. Prejudice has been many different things for me I lived in predominantly minority places where I am one of the people who is only white and everyone else is a different ethnicity so I have lived in these situations for most of my life so I have a respect for these kind of people that go through some much every day and still put up with it because most of them are at that point of breaking but they are still going. I found out that in my ethnicity is responsible for a lot of thing that define racial presences in today’s world but the new understanding is so much better now than what it used to be because being a Caucasian male it isn’t so easy for use in today’s world because we are not classified as a minority so in today’s world it can be harder to find work or do things because we seems to...

...student? The word diversity has a different meaning to every single individual but, it may be considered as a variety for the purpose of this paper; or the opposite of monotony. When students attend a university or college campus that encourages diversity it pushes them to go through these diverse experiences that may help change their lives in an array of different ways. Diverse experiences could consist of something as simple as joining a club you never would have thought you’d join or making a bolder choice like taking a trip to another country with the study abroad programs provided by higher education. It is important to keep in mind that although it takes will and a certain mindset to throw yourself at experiences like these, it may not be as hard as one may think. When students chose a higher education school they typically like to see that their future campus will be a diverse one, because the benefits that come with that type of environment are tremendous for college students. There is an article that was published in The Philadelphia Inquirer about the specific views of students and how they feel about the role diversity plays on their individual campus experience and the overall impact diversity had on them throughout college. The diversity generates a better classroom discussion, students say. Jillian Smith, a Dickinson College sophomore, said her courses on urban issues were better served by the presence of students who grew up in the inner city. "You can read about...

...can lead to an eventually brighter future. Ishmael teaches about captivity, identity, and evolution in the forms of “takers” and “leavers” (140), as well as “mother culture” (20) and “civilized peoples”(22). The first name that was given to Ishmael was Goliath, which makes him more self-aware of his personal identity, but a name is only a name, and not one's whole identity like names so often force onto someone. He teaches that we do not need to accept the identity that we were born with, but can make our own destiny. Names are just another way for “mother culture” to imprison people in her game. Ishmael was raised in captivity and it is what he considered to be his “area of educational expertise” and...

...Student name: Marlene I Manzano Student Identification number: AC0412071 Course number & title: EN110.6.1 Achieving Academic Excellence Assignment number & title: Writing Assessment: “Why college education is important to me” Introduction A college degree is important to me because is the phase subsequently to a successful and a brighter future when pursuing your dream vocation. I have determined to continue my college degree education to accomplish more financial stability, increasing my self-confidence level and self-fulfillment, higher income, permitting myself to be an improved role model and inspiration to my children. I remember eight years ago while working in the healthcare industry I was overlooked for a promotion because I did not have the education that was required for the position. I did have the experience for that particular position but I did not obtain it because the department recruited a candidate with a college degree with less experience. This sad situation was a wake-up call to ask myself- Are you going to settle only with an Associate Degree? The answer made me realized that I was going to get ahead in my college education, a bachelor degree and a master degree would assist to become the perfect candidate in management positions within the organization or apply for alternate positions outside the company, enabling me to grow as an individual and gain a vast amount of experience. A college degree is not optional now days "According...

...Human Genetic Engineering Imagine being able to design your own baby before it is even born, or prevent your unborn child from a dreadful disease, or make your baby a genius or an athlete. Scientists could be opening Pandora’s Box with the potential development of human genetic engineering. Genetic engineering is the process by which genes are added or transferred to alter the genetic code of an organism (“What is Genetic Modification”). Since the completion of the Human Genome Project in 2006, genetic engineering has developed rapidly and it seems as though a new discovery or breakthrough is announced every day. Many of the discoveries as well as future prospects have presented numerous challenges and concerns, and continue to be an ethical debate. Human genetic engineering will lead to unfavorable consequences that defy nature, lead to less diversity, and threaten our safety. Scientists are messing with nature in the process of human genetic engineering. There is a delicate balance in nature that should not be tampered with because of the unforeseen effects it could cause. With advancements in genetic engineering and new technologies, scientists are racing to uncover some profound new discovery by experimenting with our genes in a Petri dish. Manipulations to our genes are unnatural and unpredictable. It was just announced this year that the first human ear was grown from animal cells on the back of a rat (Briggs). While this major breakthrough has enormous potential for...

...In 2009 Angelina Jolie gave the opening speech for a World Refugee Day event being held at the National Geographic Society headquarters in Washington D.C. Throughout this speech Jolie concentrates not on the horrible conditions that refugees endure but on the spirit that they have from being in these situations. When speaking to millions of Americans she doesn’t rely on facts or statistics but instead she uses anecdotal evidence, visualization and pathos to get her point across. The purpose of this speech is not to persuade but to inform the people of America about the amazing people she has met while traveling to third world countries. Furthermore, she is trying to show people that you should not look at these people as if they are less than you but appreciate them for what they have to offer you. Jolie starts off her speech by using anecdotal evidence to show Americans that refugees are not just people running away from bad situations but instead they are these amazing people...

...important centers for global business in the world. When we speak of Paris, we immediately conjure romantic images of an era gone by. We think of the majesty it once held as the French aristocracy attempted to keep up with the likes of Britain, Spain, and even Portugal as they heading the colonization of the new world. Others may think instead of the allure the city once held for its prominent contributions to the world of the arts including drama, painting, literature, music, fashion, and even architecture and landscape. I however think that although Paris is indeed one of the most beautiful cities in the world, and perhaps even one of the great wonders of the worlds, by today’s standards it is a city that parallels the vast diversity exemplified in other major global cities like New York City, and Barcelona and unfortunately, as a practical observer of the global community, I do not see the magic that others see in Paris. Yes, I do agree that the Parisian way of life coupled with its political, intellectual, and cultural contributions to the global market has earned it regardless of the its flow of influence, the title of a major player in the world economy. It is therefore easy to recognize why for centuries, the French language has remained one of "The Official" international languages of diplomacy. Today, beyond its high culture, political, and economic place on the world stage, Paris is as many other great cities in the world, an amazing melting-pot of ethnic...

...Merck & Medco “The Merger” For 102 years of innovations, our company has thrived in the health-care arena and overcome the challenges and changes in the industry. Our researchers have helped the people around the world by finding new ways to treat and prevent illness and create healthier and brighter future for all people around the world. Today, Merck is the world’s largest drug manufacturer, thanks to the vision of the former management and directors who were able to see in the future and overcome all obstacles and competition and positioned the company as world leader. Ladies and gentlemen of the board, we are experiencing a rapid change in the industry of health-care and a different dynamic induced by the fierce competition not only in the U.S. but also all over the globe. Falling drug profits and increase spending in research and development are challenges that we have to face. As a result, analysts and CEOs in health-care share my view that there will be only few big drug makers left in the global market. Therefore, it is my job to find opportunities and growth to maintain our leadership and role in the industry and maximize our shareholders’ wealth. Merck’s acquisition of Medco is a bold step that will be the initiation of new era that will reshape the health-care industry and many rivals will follow in the future. After discussion with our top executives who casted their views and concerns over the merger. I have gathered information that weighed on my proposal...

...grant access to through an application process and a series of qualifications. A green card is the only thing that gets someone citizenship. This is very hard to get because there are more people wanting to become citizens than the government can accommodate, which leads to the great number of undocumented people residing in our country. Many who have green cards have obtained them through family ties in America or less likely through employment, but they also must be able to pass the tests that the Unites States gives immigrants. Because green cards are so hard to get, immigrants will usually settle for temporary visas. In the long run, having held a job and been successful while in possession of a temporary work visa will help you get a green card (LegalAnthropology.com) When they hear the term “illegal immigration”, the first thing that comes to mind for many is a group of people concealed in the back of a truck fearing for their lives as they drive across the border and enter the United States. In reality, many aliens enter this country legally at first by obtaining temporary visas. Sometimes these visas are for touring, but more often they are work visas. Most of the time...

...Memphis, a large city located on the southwestern side of Tennessee, is known as the home of the Blues, Graceland, and, unfortunately, as a major crime center in the US. The mental images of famous music artists and fevered tourists swarming to see well-known attractions clash with others, of gang violence, broken down buildings, and a meth lab shootout. Extensive images of diversity possible are shown by the fact that an area so greatly connected to revolutions in musical history is as equally seen as a center of theft, murder, and drug trafficking in stereotypical Memphis. Although several forces have stepped in and attempted to control the crime that terrorizes Memphians –and the occasional tourist- these forces still cause devastation...

...Superstars and marriage Din kommentar til “Where is that voice coming from?”: Your analytical essay is much better than your previous one. Your language is fluent and varied, but how much do you know of analysing a fictive text? You have NOT underlines the topic sentences. Do that next time. 10 Last time I forgot to underline the topic sentences, so I will do that this time. Moreover, even though this is not a fictive text, I will try to do a proper analysis. I will also make proper references to the quotes I will be using, since I did not do that in the previous assignment. I will in this assignment look for the most interesting arguments, Gethin Chamberlain’s way to present the conflict, and the different views on the marriage. The article “How a tale of superstar love fuelled the bitter feud between India and Pakistan” by Gethin Chamberlain, a British photojournalist based in India is about the marriage of Shoaib Malik and Sania Mirza. A marriage that restarted the old feud between the Hindu-Indians and Muslim-Pakistanis. The two superstars had fallen in love, and decided to get married, but their decision caused a lot of discussion and many problems, just because of their different nationalities. This has lead me to my main question, “Is marrying across boarders still a problem, in our modern society?” Chamberlain presents the conflict in a very informing, clever and neutral way, and thereby giving the reader a chance to create their own attitude upon the matter...

...Diversity in My Community I currently live in on military base in North Carolina where the only color that people see is green. I am unaware of any racism that occurs within our community. My neighborhood consists of a multitude of different races and we all converse with each other and get along. My husband is the active duty military member and he also agrees that he is unaware of any racial profiling. There is a wide variety of cultures within the United States Military. Just in my husband’s unit there is a Native American, Arabic, African American, Filipino, and Hispanic. However, I grew up in a little town in North East Texas. Atlanta, Texas consists of about 6,000 people. Logging and farming make up the economics of this southern piney woods community. Every Friday night you can find most of the citizens at the hometown football game supporting the players and the band. Though it may seem that everyone gets along in this town and for the most part they do, segregation is evident. The ethnicity that is in Atlanta, Texas is 67.1 percent White, 29.2 percent Black, 1.7 percent Hispanic, 1.1 percent of two or more races, 0.5 percent of American alone, 0.4 percent of Asian alone, and 0.02 percent of other race alone (Atlanta, Texas, 2010). These statistics do not show this town to be very diverse. Caddo Indians once occupied the area for centuries before Europeans arrived, but they abandoned the region in the late eighteenth century because of disease and threats by other...
