Use additional resources if necessary, from the University Library or your textbooks. Provide citations for all the sources you use. Response: Well, there could be numerious reasons why Hispanics are not doing good. From prior experience in the Interactive Scenario’s city, in that area where education isn’t a prime, it is obvious that people will not get a great job or a legal job. Being that there’s such a small community of Hispanics in the area and that of it being a legitimate worker or a cut above the the average person in Philadelphia, it’s small. That, and being the jobs are scarced already in the area where they could pay good enough money that doesn’t just make ends meet. Part II Answer the following in 50 to 150 words each.

The political, social and economics standings for the Hispanic America/Latino have been getting strength during the years.

Use additional resources if necessary, from the University Library or your textbooks. Provide citations for all the sources you use. The white racial group has always been viewed as one of political power, financial weath, high social standing. This is very true for so many white families in the United States. Many white families come from Old Money and have made careers in politics.We have a social class where the wealthy and the most social is at the top of the pyramid. Compared to other races, such as Black and Hispanic, our average yearly income is much higher. White/Caucasians are usually at the top of the economic scale. According to the Income Inequilaity Map, " White Median Income” it is indicating $25,000 to $30,000. The Hispanic income shows less than $15,000. African American population is displaying $20,000 to $25,000." Though this does not reflect all cities in America it has been proven that Whites do earn higher wages than minorities. It is also more likely a White candidate will be voted for over a minority candidate. There is not a clear reason why but it most likely has something to do with the fact that most of the voters are...

...In the book, Just like a River by Muhammad Kamil al-Katib is a fiction story about a family in Syria. The story shows how the political and societal beliefs during this time lead to complex relationships between the characters. The book was written to show that how old world beliefs clash and intermingle between current and progressive beliefs of the new younger generations and shows how complex even simple relationship can become when following your convictions and hiding ones true feelings. The book was written for Arabic readers and was translated for an English speaking audience this is where I believe that the original intent of the author was to show the complexities of living in Syria with Arabic and Islamic beliefs but the translation expands this intention to relate to everyone especially English speaking audiences. However, with this translation, the book can show any reader despite their beliefs can relate to the complexities of all relationships when people are unable to be open and share their feelings a learned behavior from society, family, or religious beliefs. See if it this meets the requirement thus far. Instructions Below: Your introduction must be no more than one paragraph in length.

Provide citations for all the sources you use. o The racial group I have chosen is White/Caucasian. Based on information I gathered from the MySocLab Explorer Map the White/Caucasian people of Philadelphia in 2010 consisted of approximately 632,294 people, which equaled 41.5%. In comparison to the black population which accounted for 43.4% of the people in Philadelphia. The per capita income for White people in Philadelphia in 2010 was $27,718.00. But the average household income in the same area for a black household is $20,000.00 to $25,000.00. Whereas for American Indian the household income is only $15,000.00 to $20,000.00. All reports show that white households earn more money on average than any other race in the Philadelphia area. As for politics in Philadelphia, of the 16 people running for county seats, all but one person was white/Caucasian. No matter which city you go there is a form of racism. A majority of political seats has always been held by white/Caucasians. In general white people obtain a higher level of education than other races within the US. This can bring on unwanted stress between different races. As a result of President Obama being elected more minority has begun to seek jobs in politics. Part II • What is racism?

Use additional resources if necessary, from the University Library or your textbooks. Provide citations for all the sources you use. I chose to review the Hispanic/latino race for further research on diversity. Hispanics and latinos face some of the same types of discrimination that other non-white races face. Each race has faced downfalls and gained many accomplishments. Hispanics and latino are no different in their journey. On the economic side of the race, Hispanics have higher rates of poverty and lower income than other races. There is only 7% of managerial positions in the nation that belong to Hispanics and latinos. Hispanics have been the backbone of our farm workers. They make up three quarters of all farm workers. A previous farm worker, Cesar Chavez, fought for the rights of farm workers. He did not gain the ground that he set out too, but he did make some improvement. Mr. Chavez was able to improve the working conditions and made the government more aware of the farm workers across America. He was able to form a group that later became the United Farm Workers (UFW). Hispanics and Latinos still fall behind in education compared to white americans. However, adolescents of this...

...Joshua Herring Prof. S Herdzina English 101 29 January 2018 Why American Indian Team Names Don’t Belong in our Schools Did you know that across America there is over 2,000 schools that still use an American Indian tribe name or representation as their team name and mascot? Many students go to school everyday, participate in team sports, and accomplish great things while feeling misunderstood, objectified, and shamed under an inaccurate assumption. These schools are using a team name or mascot to symbolize and objectify a group of already marginalized people, the American Indians. They compete while misusing a tribal name, stereotype, or a slang term to represent them. They taking something sacred and spiritual to many and trample it for sport....

Having more votes politically means is what indicates political control and as we know we have a black president today. Social standing for whites along with any racial group depends on the area they live in. Whether they are high class, middle class, or lower class. White are on the higher end of the scale when it comes to economic, social, and political standings; however, it really depends on the area you live in and if you are in the minority of the surrounding areas.
