...Zachary Hagan-Sanchez Should the Washington Redskins Change their name? No, the Washington Redskins should not change their name. They have had the name since the franchise was born in 1937, which is 80 years ago. If people want to change the Washington Redskins name and mascot then there are going to be lots of other teams in professional sports as well as in colleges and high schools that are going to have to change their names too. The Oneida Indian Nation has started a campaign for the NFL to stop using a racial slur as the name of Washington’s football team; they also want the mascot changed to something that is not offensive to Native Americans. They are not wrong about the meaning of the word Redskin, if you look it up in the dictionary it is defined as “Used as a disparaging term for Native American.” The name was not picked 80 years ago to be offensive and a slur and for many decades no one had a problem with it until now. Whether or not the name gets changed there are still going to be people on both sides of the fence that are either going to be happy or upset. I personally think they should just leave it alone and move on. There is always going to some kind of problem whether it is racial or something different, what people need to remember is that we are all human regardless of the color of our skin or the name of a team or what a mascot looks...

...Mascot Name Changes Assignment 1) a) In the article by King and Springwood (2000), “Fighting Spirits: The Racial Politics of Sports Mascots”, the authors go into detail about how “whiteness” (at Ole Miss) and “redness” (at Florida State) have been used to create a controversial symbol of power that has produced a racial discrepancy between opposing races taking offense to the mascot used by both schools. In the case of Florida State University, the school has developed a mascot (Chief Osceola) that portrays the American Indian as an aggressive savage. “When Osceola leads the FSU football players onto the field, he signifies armed resistance, bravery, and savagery, and his appearance builds on the prevailing understandings of Indianness that construct Native Americans as aggressive, hostile, and even violent” (King and Springwood [2000], p. 285). This portrayal of savagery is at the heart of the arguments by native Indians to remove their names from colleges using their image as a motivational and war-like incentive. I have never viewed the mascots of colleges as being an offensive form of racial disparity, but this article made me view this issue from the other side and opened my eyes as to why groups of people may be offended by how their name is being represented to the public. For example, I grew up an avid sports fan, but history never really caught my interest. Therefore, my view of the American Indian is distorted from the reality of their true image because...

...When there is change often there is loss to the Native Americans heritage or traditions. However in Native Americans culture change can also symbolize growth and the coming of age. The acculturation of modern technology and beliefs caused Indians to loose many of their traditions. One of the most important traditions is the Name Change. This tradition still lives on today. The name change tradition remains as one of the essential traditions passed down. A Native American will be named when they are born and then they will change names as they change and go through life. Some Indians may change their name two times while another may change it five times. Some of the names may be given based on your appearance, such as light hair. Or another name may be given because you were a great warrior such as crazy horse. The name change signifies that a shift in a person’s ethos or personality has occurred. When a Native American changes names they are growing. When a person is given only one name it almost signifies a dull life. There was no change or growth during their life. They are forced to stay to the roots of that...

...I think the washington Redskins should change their name because it is offensive, the name has been a hot topic for quite some time, and they could easily change the name to something else. Redskins is a term used by europeans when they first came to the new world. The word was used a reference to the indians darker sometimes reddish tinted skin. The Redskins team name didn't just become a hot topic it's been a hot topic for 31 years. Since 1972 people have been saying how offensive the name is to the native americans. The Redskins may lose the rights to their mascot, and will not have any new stadiums built for the team until the name is changed. Other teams have also changed their names, and it has not change how the fans see them or their profit from the games. The Redskins should change their name because it is the right thing to do if native american beleive the name of a team that represents them should be changed then who are we to say no. “Redskins can't possibly honor a heritage or noble character trait, nor can it possibly be considered a neutral term. It's an insult, a slur, no matter how benign the present day intent.” said Bob Costas, NBC sports host. The term redskin is originally used to refer the native...

You may find some situations where auto-generated names will contain the dollar sign, but your variable names should always avoid using it. A similar convention exists for the underscore character;...

...instance, : Sandra Cisneros, in her essay My name notes that a name can mean hope, many letters, sadness waiting (pg. 190) The naming in such cases has been as distinctly precise as none of the organisms named share the same names. In cases where they might share such names, there has always been a clear and precise way that conventionally applies in differentiating the two organisms. Under such situations, different methods are put into consideration. These methods of differentiation of names majorly depend upon the parental hierarchy of such organisms. Consequently, human beings also accord a lot of credit to the power of naming. However, the decision on which name to give to someone is not an easy task. People are named with regard to a number of factors. Some people may name their children after some renowned people. These people may be influential in the society or may have some adorable characteristics that the parents may want their children to adopt. Another factor that may define naming may be a remarkable or memorable occurrence. For instance: Lini S. Kadaba, in her essay, What‘s in a Name? Shows how Christopher Angelo Annas of South Philadelphia was named after his grandfather, Annas. The grandfather, initially named Papanastasiou but later changed the name to Annas on arrival to America. The grandchild later changed his name to Christopher Angelo Anastasiou, back to the original meaning. He claims that Annas, the name adopted by his grandfather sounded like part...

Names are assigned to everything around us – people, places, things, chemical compounds, trees, technology, inventions and it goes on. Globalization has brought in a scenario at workplaces whereby people belonging to different countries, cultures, ethnic, religious and social backgrounds interact and work together in teams in global organisations. Even within countries, people mingle with others of different linguistic and cultural backgrounds. Whatever be the origin of a person’s name, it is a vital aspect of his life as the name is the primary identity that is used to set him apart from others in social interactions, especially daily conversation. In India, there is a significant percentage of people who name their children based on their religion or caste. Either the name or the surname reflects this aspect. When preconceptions are made about a person based on the sole aspect of his/her name, it creates a assumed or misinterpreted image of the name bearer. This greatly affects one’s mental attitude and communication with the other person...

...Case: What’s in names? According to sociologists and name researchers parents are spending more time and money to find perfect names for their new born babies (Alter par. 1). They use different methods such as pulling ideas from book and websites, hiring professional baby-name consultant, and even check Social Security data (Alter par. 1). Maryanna Korwitt is a nameologist who spent years of studying ancient culture and past traditions as well as research with present-day people (About Maryanna). She started her own name business that helps people to choose right names not only for children but also for new companies and websites (Ferrell 235). She identified her target market as middle and upper class people. She writes books, makes television appearances, and provide consultations (Ferrell 235). Today, many books about baby naming are being published, and hundreds of websites are providing similar services, which all of these make her business more competitive (Alter par.3). Maryanna Korwitt took advantage of a recent trend to give babies unusual names (Ferrell 235). She studies names and how they could affect people’s lives. She believes that a child’s personality is determined by the name it is given, and therefore making the right choice is very important. While there has been an increased demand for help in choosing a child’s name, largely driven by the Hollywood penchant to choose odd names, in Korwitt’s case her business was not customer driven. She started her business...

...In “Everyday Use” Alice Walker demonstrates the importance of one’s heritage, by showing how ignorant and unappreciative Dee is of the contributions made by her ancestors. Dee is characterized by what she says. On one occasion Mama addresses her by her birth name, Dee. In reply Dee says, “No Mama. Not “Dee,” Wangero Leewanika Kemanjo!” Mama asked why and she says Dee is dead and she couldn’t bear it any longer, being named after people who oppress her. Mama then highlights her ignorance of her family’s heritage by informing her on where her name originated. She tells Dee that she was named after her aunt, who was named after Grandma Dee, who inherited the name of her mother as well. A person who possesses real heritage and culture make use of it every day of their life on the other hand Dee exhibits being shameful and ignorant of her heritage. On another occasion Dee addresses her family about some quilts. She is determined to get the quilts, but has no idea or knowledge of how the family’s jewels are infused with the presence of the people who made and used them. It was made clear that mama understands that Maggie, not Dee, should have the quilts because Maggie will respect and appreciate the jewels by using them in the way they were intended to be used and not put on display like an exhibit at a museum. To Dee, heritage is the past, something to frame or hang on the wall, a mere artistic reminder of her family history. In Conclusion Dee is ashamed of her family’s heritage...
