There are two authors share their stories of discrimination; “FOB’s vs. Twinkies: The New Discrimination is Interracial” and “Black Men and Public Spaces.” In the first article “FOB's vs. Twinkies”, written by Grace Hsiang, tells the stories Hsiang heard in her college psychology class. Most of the stories told by her classmates were their personal experiences. All of her classmate's stories surprised Hsiang because most of them were discriminated within their culture, or intraracial.

...does this influence the representation of other ethnic groups? Introduction The world of sports journalism has long been seen as the domain of the white, middle-class male (Farrington, Kilvington, Price & Saeed, 2012). For several decades the status quo remained the same: white male journalists reporting on white male athletes to a white male audience. However during the 1990s the emergence of black footballers, both domestic and foreign, within the British game began to change the overall dynamic. In addition to this sport became big business, moving from the back pages to the front (Boyle, 2006), and occasions such as the Olympic Games are now massive worldwide events that receive similarly massive attention from the world’s media. It is clear that sport has changed dramatically over the past 20 years, as has the diversity of the athletes who appear in our newspapers, on our television screens and on our radios. With reference to these points I intend to investigate whether sports journalism is still dominated by white males, and if so, how does this cultural bias influence how other ethnic groups are represented in the sporting media. Due to word constraints the essay shall focus on Northern Europe, specifically Sweden and the United Kingdom. Diversity in the newsroom Diversity in a news organisation can bring many benefits, including a broader spectrum of opinion, varied specialist knowledge and both personal and professional development amongst staff (Stepp...

...Multicultural Workforce In the past American business experienced few examples of multicultural workforce. Due to globalization large companies and small businesses are experiencing a growing multicultural workforce. These cultural changes are contributing to business success and at the same time affecting teamwork and communication. A multicultural workforce is one in which a company’s workers come from various ethnic, racial, religious, and gender backgrounds. In the past business leaders in the United States had limited experience working with a multicultural workforce and little was written or taught on the subject. However, today’s business owners, managers and corporate executives recognize that culturally diverse workforces contribute to success. A diverse multicultural workforce boosts a company’s success by bringing new ideas and ways to enhance decision making, creativity and innovation, marketing to foreign and ethnic minority communities, and distribution of economic opportunity. Researchers believe that most cultural challenges arise from three basic cultural preferences; how individuals approach work, how individuals share information, and how individuals view time. The researchers believe these three preferences have an enormous impact on teamwork effectiveness. However, cultural differences can be a factor contributing to increased costs when higher turnover rates, increased interpersonal conflict and communication breakdowns occur...

Explain Related Causes of Discrimination Behaviors. 4. Define Racism and Sexism. 5. Define Prejudice. 6. Explain power, and its Relationship to Discrimination. TYPE OF INSTRUCTION: Small Group Discussion TIME OF INSTRUCTION: 1.5 Hours NOTE: Near the end of this block is Practical Exercise #1. The purpose of this exercise is to allow soldiers the chance to think about and make decisions about what constitutes examples of prejudice, racism, sexism and discrimination by selecting various behaviors and categorizing them. You should have enough copies of the exercise for each student. If you wish - depending upon group size - you may want to break them into groups and allow the groups to work together. The Star Power Exercise is also recommended to reinforce this block of instruction. You should plan on allowing three hours for this exercise. If you do not possess the Star Power exercise, then you should find another exercise that will demonstrate the concept of power to your students. You may find a suitable video or film at your local TASC that would demonstrate the principles of power or the abuse of power that would serve well. However, Star Power is strongly recommended as the best means to reinforce this block of instruction to the group. LEAD-IN: Hopefully, blatant...

...HRMN 408 Conference (Week 3) I Just Want to Make Lamps 1. Julie can make a national origin claim under the protected classes of Title VII. Jeremy, the hiring manager, made statements about the company suffering because of her husband’s Cuban disease. Under the basis of national origin, it’s illegal to discriminate against an individual because of birthplace, ancestry, culture, or linguistic characteristics common to a specific ethnic group. In addition, national origin discrimination also can involve treating people unfavorably because they are married to (or associated with) a person of a certain national origin or because of their connection with an ethnic organization or group. Jeremy also made a statement about blondes are easier to work with. If Julie wasn’t a Caucasian, she could file a claim under race discrimination. Race discrimination involves treating someone (an applicant or employee) unfavorably because he/she is of a certain race or because of personal characteristics associated with race (such as hair texture, skin color, or certain facial features). Race discrimination also can involve treating someone unfavorably because the person is married to (or associated with) a person of a certain race or color or because of a person’s connection with a race-based organization or group, or an organization or group that is generally associated with people of a certain color. 2.

For instance, Shafi Musaddique is the author of, “We Need to Address Our Ethnic Pay Gap with Mandatory Reporting – Just as We're Doing with Gender”, an article in which they advocate that the racial pay gap should be equally as emphasized as the gender pay gap.

...Dante Powell 1st Paper January 27, 2014 History 231 - Genocide Dr. Thomas Porter “What is Genocide?” The term genocide has been one of the most used terms in many on-going debates since the early 20th century. The Holocaust, which took place during World War II, is one of the most common cases of acts of genocide and is a main reason why the term genocide exists. Other widely known cases of genocide are the Rwandan genocide and the Armenian genocide. The question, however, that many historians and those with interests in genocide ask, is exactly what is genocide? Since first being “coined” by Raphael Lemkin, there have been several different definitions of the term. It is these different versions of a description of genocide that have led people to try to figure out what the correct form of the definition should be and how we can use it to try and prevent it from happening. When considering genocide and what it is, one must define it containing three aspects. A definition of genocide must have a mode, an object, and an actor. Initially, I would describe genocide as the intended mass killing of a specific group of people by another party for a desired result. However, there are problems with this definition. This definition is vague as it does not specify a type of reason behind the action being performed. If someone is to commit genocide, there must be a particular reason why an act as violent as this should be committed. Also, the definition does not say why the...

...Abstract and Annotated Bibliography: Racism in Rare Form Quinta Anderson Liberty University Abstract Racism occurs when there is a prejudice that is targeted towards a specific group or person due to their ethnicity or the color of their skin. Prejudice can be perceived as passing judgment on a person before knowing facts about an individual. If an individual allows prejudiced to consume them then it is known as discrimination. Discrimination can occur any many different forms such as not allowing someone to purchase a home, getting employment, denying them of their education rights, can all be a form of racial discrimination. For many years, there has been a major conflict regarding the African American race as well as immigrants. Although, the civil rights movement is no longer in existence, racism has started to formulate in rare form and hate crimes has been present across the country has arrived. Racism can be seen daily especially in the Southern States. However, when the color of one’s skin is not a main factor, other examples of discrimination can be seen in the form of one’s language, religion, nationality, sex. The reader will be able to explore how racism and multicultural counseling are linked together. Racism in Rare Form What is Racism? Racism and prejudice is a problem that has existed for years and still exist today, but in rare form. Racism has changed from generation to generation and is sometimes hidden. Racism has been said to exist for years...

...overlooked similarities between Alfred Adler’s theories to the more current theories of the solution-focused brief therapy (SFTB) who give no credit to Adler. Though there are many similarities, the article focused on the concept of using encouragement by a therapist to their client to promote personal growth and development rather than on the limitations of a person. These same theories are very similar to the SFBT teachings of today. The article goes into detail sighting three areas of similarities between Adler’s theories and the therapeutic process of the SFTB. Those three areas are the perspective of maladjustment, counselor-client relationship and facilitating change. For the perspective on maladjustment each believe their clients are discouraged and without encouragement but not psychologically sick. In the case of the counselor –client relationship both describe the counselor-client relationship as the counselor instilling hope through encouragement. In the case of facilitating a change both parties encourage new patterns of behavior by accessing persons strength and resources. I agree with the authors finding based on the fact that the authors were able to document with actual statements from Adler and the SFTB literature. In 1956 Adler stated, “All together in every step of the treatment we must not deviate from the path of encouragement”. The authors state that these very same words that Adler used are also used in the SFTB literature describing the relationship between...

...research examines social distance toward other ethnic groups and all races residing in an increasingly suburban world. Analyses indicate that blacks & whites report closer social distance to each other than to any other racial or ethnic group. Blacks express greater social distance toward Mexicans than do whites. Mexicans report greater social distance toward African Americans than toward whites. Willingness to marry members of other racial & ethnic groups mirrors these same patterns. Country Life versus City Life Have you ever wondered how people live in the country versus how people live in the city? The country lifestyle and the city lifestyle have a lot of differences, so I saw them as work, let me tell about these the first difference is work. Both of them people usually work, but how they work different. To begin with, farmers work outside and harvest. Employee of the company work inside and work on machine. Second, the country has small markets and the city has big markets. The third way is the people in country don't need more money. Every time, they need to buy something, they can trade each other such as rice, potato.etc...But the people in the city make more money because they need more things such as food, fish, etc... Some people argue that city life is better than country life. However, the authenticity of this statement is dubious. The interpretation of this statement maybe entirely biased depending on the individual...

...All of these factors have an impact on the workplace. Products/ Production: This is a print screen from the Ikea website and this shows that Ikea is very caring about the environment and they try to make sure that even at low prices that the quality of the product is still very good and they ensure they’re customers that products are safe, have good quality and are still designed to be efficient even if they are at low prices. This on they’re website ensures the customers because it is against the law to sell goods or services with the wrong description of the product and the customers will get they’re money back if the product isn’t what the description told them it would be. In my personal opinion I would trust Ikea’s ensurence of they’re products and the way they are made because my personal experience with Ikea is good every product my parents or my family has bought from Ikea lives up to it’s expectation and this proves to they’re customers that even with low prices their products have good quality, the materials used efficiently and that they are caring for the environment. If a customer’s still not sure weather they should buy an Ikea product then they can check reviews from other customers and based on their experience weather good or bad then they can decide weather to buy Ikea products or not.
