...The Third of May is a painting by the Spanish painter Francisco Goya, now in the Museo del Prado, Madrid. It was completed in 1814, but is about an event that happened 6 years prior. The piece was painted in oil paints, creating a blended texture throughout the work. The piece shows what seems to be a dispute, weapons and blood involved. To generalize, the picture is takes place in the early hours of the morning. Historically, this is after the battle at Medina del Rio Seco in Spain. Napoleon Bonaparte---the Emperor of the French from August 15, 1769 to May 5, 1821---sent his troops into Medina del Rio Seco to conquer the city. They were met by 21,000 Spaniards, fighting to protect their land. The artwork shows two groups of people, a seemingly regal group of soldiers in uniform, and a group of townspeople. The soldiers are dressed in uniform, guns poised at the people. The citizens look petrified, dressed in casual clothing and without weapons. One person is even on the ground, lying in a pool of blood. It seems that he was shot. Other bodies are behind him, sprawled out on the ground. The townspeople are covering their faces, raising their hands in what seems to be surrender, and weeping. The sky is very dark, and there is a castle or church of sorts in the background. The foreground consists of the people in confrontation, as well as lighter colors for the ground to show emphasis on what the artist wanted to depict. Upon looking at the picture, some may be disturbed at the...

...The psychologist I have chosen to write about is Dr. Kenneth B Clark. Kenneth Bancroft Clark was an American psychologist and an educator. Clark was the first African American to be a full teneured professor at the city college of New York where he taught from 1942 through 1975, and to be a member of the New York State board of regents. Kenneth B Clark was the author of a 1950’s report done on racial discrimination that was cited in the 1954 U.S. supreme court decision Brown V Board of education of Topeka, Kans. An early leader in the civil rights movement he founded the North side Center For Child Development and Harlem Youth Opportunities Unlimited. Clarks work includes, Prejudice And Your Child and Dark Ghetto, just to name a couple. I believe Kenneth Clark made some very important discoveries for the world of psychology. Clark got into the minds of African American children and let the world see how they thought, how they felt, and what they believed from growing up in a caucasion dominated society. One of Clark’s most well known tests was on a group of African American children. The test was called the “Doll Test”. What Clark did was he took a caucasion baby doll and a African American baby doll and put them side by side, then he asked a series of questions to each individual child one at a time. Some of the questions asked by Clark were questions like, which doll is prettier, which doll is smarter, and which doll would you rather have and why?. The results of...

...Deon Blake Dr. McClure Engl-110-08 12 November 2013 Race is Not a Factor in Inadequacy Race in America today can be directly based off stereotypes. A person’s race is as irrelevant as the car they drive. Yet theses irrelevant things tell us something. It gives us a view on how better he or she is compared to one another. The way it is in our society and generation; a superior car equals a superior person. This is obviously not a biological reason, yet this is a way we divide ourselves as individuals. This is very comparable to the "micro-level" of racism mentioned in the writings of Michael Omi and Howard Winant, which separates two people by a noticeable factor (Omi 12). Race has nothing to do with my or anyone else abilities or intelligence. In our society we build descriptions of an entire group of individuals that demonstrate a certain qualities of that separates one group from others. Our society defines these groups as stereotypes. When we glance at a group of people that stand out from social norms, we place them into another class. The motive is to not load ourselves with this excess of information. It is difficult to bear in mind everyone's individuality. This is why we have stereotypes. However, there are times when put a mark of superiority or inferiority onto another stereotype. We critic these stereotypes, and we do not distinguish the individuals in their group. That is how we view our stereotypes. Racism is more or less the exact same thing. When we see...

Conclusion Afterword Author’s Note Acknowledgments Notes Foreword When a governor or any state official seeks elective national office, his (or her) reputation and what the country knows about the candidate’s background is initially determined by the work of local and regional media. Generally, those journalists do a competent job of reporting on the prospect’s record. In the case of Governor George W. Bush, Texas reporters had written numerous stories about his failed businesses in the oil patch, the dubious land grab and questionable funding behind a new stadium for Bush’s baseball team, the Texas Rangers, and his various political contradictions and hypocrisies while serving in Austin. I was one of those Texas journalists. I spent about a decade...
