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 White as well. Socially Whites are higher in class and often portrayed as always...

...# Quote Summary Focus Question 1 “He and Hannah take after their father-once a woman stopped the two of them in the grocery store and asked, ‘Chinese?’ and when they say yes, not wanting to get into halves and wholes, she’d nodded sagely. ‘I knew it,’ she said. ‘By the eyes’” (3). These words are the introduction to some of the main characters, which describe what Hannah and Nath look like to random strangers. Strangers see all people that do not look like them as alien-like creatures. Who, in their mind, do not believe that aliens do not deserve equal rights. Nath and Hannah are a mixture of Asian and Caucasian because their father is Asian and their mother is Caucasian. The lady from the grocery store automatically thinks that Nath and Hannah are Asian because of their squinted eyes. This situation demonstrates how average white people judge what ethnicity foreigners are based on their...

...Men In War Name University 1. Introduction All recruited rookie conscripts can be generally divided into two categories. Neither religious, nor political affiliations are the criterions. The future soldiers are automatically divided into two groups. The first group, are those who want to go to the war, and the second, are those conscripts who detest the idea of landing on the enemy’s territory, taking a rifle, and joining the combat zone, eliminating the enemy soldiers. The reasons for this diverging demeanor are evident. The first batch regards the upcoming combats as the opportunity to reach masculinity and the way to become real men. An ingrained prejudice among many Americans is that the true man is the one who served in the military and took part in the combat operations. However, the revelations of those United States and their Allies soldiers who were summoned to protect the welfare of the USA during the Civil War, the First World War, and the World War II have indicated that sometimes the notion that a boy becomes a man during the war is nothing but a myth. This paper outlines the expectations and the results obtained by the soldiers of different nationalities, religions and cultures, who experienced the Civil War, Word War I, and the World War II respectively and explains the reasons of their ultimate opinions. 2. The Civil War The Civil War in the United States of America is known to be one of the most bloody and atrocious wars, which the mankind...

The text is about McDonald’s ethnic marketing strategy pass the years and what types of advertising they use, it’s about what kind of strategy they use and why they use it. The music industry has long sold black culture to white Americans, McDonalds is now doing much the same, and it’s taking cues from African Americans, Hispanics, and Asians to develop menus. Neil Golden does also says that the ethnic consumer tends to set trends, so they actually help set the tone for how McDonald’s enter the marketplace, and McDonald’s is taking it’s marketing cues from the minority groups, which is trendsetters for white America Golden did also create a strategy for the U.S business that he calls “Leading with Ethnic Insights.” Working with Jonah Kaufman a McDonald’s franchisee that has 13 restaurants on Long Island. Comment on McDonald’s marketing strategy. Marketing is probably one of the most important strategies towards the growth of a company. Many businessmen and marketers are coming up with different marketing strategies so they can sell their product to different consumers in a given region or country. This has also led to the need for much more focus on ethnic minority groups especially in the United States where there are many different ethnic communities. McDonald’s was one of the first companies there used ethnic marketing strategy. McDonald’s marketing strategy is to take cues from the African Americans, Hispanics and...

...Farhang Hesami Document 17-1 A. Summary This article includes an appeal written by a Chinese merchant named Pun Chi to Congress asking help against the anti-Chinese sentiments which was growing, especially in the West. In the first part of the appeal Chi talks about how American ship-masters went to China and encouraged people to immigrate to California during the Gold Rush. He mentions that those Americans would tell them about the beauty of Americans kind and friendly manners. But, when they came to the West they faced a complete different situation. He complains about the brutal violence against their race and that they would not have the basic human rights with no guilt. Pun Chi has addressed 6 major issues in this appeal, which we can read 4 of them in this article. In first part, he talks about the virtue and morality. That people of China would value the virtue a lot and it is not right to be evil to them. He believes Chinese are very kind heart people and it is not important if they are poor.

He also questions the justice system. In that time Chinese would not have the right to have testimony at courts and Chi sees that as a reason for whites giving themselves the right to harm...

...perceptions of Japan and Asia? The Sino-Japanese War from 1894-1895 and the Russo-Japanese War a decade later were monumental events in the history of Asia and its ripples were felt in the Western world. In the Sino-Japanese War, the Western world witnessed the fruits of Meiji Japan’s modernization program, its modern military, routed the Chinese hitherto the dominant Asian power. Japan’s victory defeat of Russia became a significant milestone in modern history, marking the first major modern conflict where an Asian nation had defeated an European power. As such, this study seeks to present in detail the changes in Western perception towards Japan, as it became a modern military power and its image of the Asian people in the aftermath of both events. Sino-Japanese War (1894-1895) The outcome of the Sino-Japanese War meant that Japan had successfully displaced Qing China as the dominant power in East Asia, marking a remarkable shift from millennia old power arrangements in the region centered on China. This turn of events did not escape Western observations and led to Japan being recognized as the dominant Asian power. According to the historian Sarah Paine, ‘Before the war, the most widespread Western image of Japan was undoubtedly provided by William S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan, the famous operetta duo. The year 1885 marked the premiere of what became their most popular operetta, The Mikado or "The Emperor of Japan." The Mikado portrayed the Japanese as having attitudes...

...How are Hispanic, Black and American Indian students doing in college? The American Council on Education, which bills itself as "the major coordinating body for all of the nation's higher education," has just released its 24th annual report on the subject, titled Minorities in Higher Education. It provides valuable information, but the interpretations of the data do as much to obscure as to illuminate the central issues. The fifty pages of tables provided in an appendix reveal that these students, designated as "underrepresented minorities," made enormous progress in our colleges and universities in the 80's and 90's, and that these advances have continued in the past decade. For example, total white enrollments in institutions of higher education rose by just 12 percent over the decade 1997-2007. The figure for African Americans was 49 percent, by contrast, and for Hispanics 67 percent. When we distinguish undergraduates from students in graduate or professional schools, the picture looks the same, with minority numbers rising much more rapidly than white rates of gain, though of course from a much smaller base. The same is true when the measure is degrees earned at various levels from Associates to Ph.D.'s.--with some exceptions we will consider later. Unfortunately, though, few readers are likely to examine the data for themselves, and most will content themselves with reading the Executive Summary, or perhaps just a news report. If so, their understanding will be limited...

...Hector Reyes Minorities in the US Professor Chin 02 February 2016 Summary/Personal Reflection In the article “Origin of the Idea of Race” by Audrey Smedley he talks about the word race. Smedley says in the opening paragraph ““Race” was a recent invention and that it was essentially a folk idea, not a product of scientific research and discovery.” Race was used as a term to allow slavery to exist. The article also discusses how slavery existed before African were ever brought to America as slaves. Before Africans, there were Irish people and poor white people being used as slaves. Irish were used as slaves by the English due to hostile relations in the 13th century. The English even passed laws to enslave poor white people, and using excuses as though they were doing these people a favor. Most slaves of the English were Irish, Poor white people and Indians. The article also says that at the turn of the 17th century demand for labor grew. The Irish and Indians would be build rebellions to oppose strict laws and making them difficult, not good slaves. Due to the high labor demands, slaves had to come from somewhere else. This is where race becomes made up and Africans become the target. According to the article the image of Africans were positives. Africans had a set government were farmers. English though thought they were better laborers and once brought to the New World had nowhere to go. They also were immune to the disease the English carried. The Indians...

...Australian Parliament. This historic occasion symbolises how Australia conducted its foreign relations with ‘East’ and ‘West’ during the Howard Era. The pragmatic decision to allow Hu Jintao to become the first non-American foreigner to address both houses demonstrates how Howard viewed Sino-Australian relations. It showed the world that it was possible to have warm relations with both the United States and China. By the end of the Howard Era in 2007, China had become Australia’s major trading partner. This was a far cry from 1996, when in the first months of the newly elected Howard Government a series of events caused severe tensions in Sino-Australian relations, as described below. This culminated in the Chinese response of banning visits to China by Australian ministers, a serious manoeuvre in the nuanced world of diplomacy. From these frosty beginnings, the relationship between the two nations strengthened considerably, for a variety of reasons, some of them outside Australia’s control. Paul Keating may have sown the seeds to Australia’s ‘pivot’ to Asia, but it was the Howard Government that undertook the most significant shift in orientation, cumulating in the historic addresses referred to above in October 2003. With the 21st Century being described as the ‘Asian Century’, Australia’s ‘tyranny of distance’ has been replaced by the ‘prospects of proximity’. Australia’s relationship with China in the mid 1990s to mid 2000s arguably helped place itself in a better position...

...How Child Obesity Affects Children from Low-Income Families American children are getting fatter everyday. This includes a variety of reasons such as the lack of exercise, steady high calorie diet, and junk food. This problem affects many children living within the United States, but children from low-income families are more at risk of becoming obese. The reason, not only stems from their limited knowledge of healthy lifestyles but the cost and availability of nutritious foods as well. Childhood obesity has become a topic that garners much concern from parents, pediatricians, and politicians alike. During the 1970’s only 15% of children were obese, since then the percentage has been increased up to 30% (Donahue, Grisso, Orleans, and Paxson, 3). Despite the high overall levels of childhood obesity, impoverish children from ethnic minority groups present higher numbers. For example, 31% of Latino children, 23% of Black children, by contrast only 15% of both White and Asian children are considered obese (Grier and Kumanyika, 187). This makes up a 24% overall obesity for children within New York City. Asian American children are an exception to the general pattern of higher obesity rates amongst ethnic minority groups. The government is now becoming more concerned about this issue. Some of the ways they have tried to alleviate this issue is by making programs that create “opportunities for students to make informed choices regarding healthy eating behaviors” (Datar and...

...Economic Advisement Expectations Expectation refers to how companies, investors, consumers view the future of certain economic variables such as the market and its prices, individual income, profit, and taxes. Expectations are integral parts of the financial system. Hope of the future of the economy depends on current acts and shapes the economy. Productivity growth remains stable, and inflation is expected to remain restrained. If consumers are positive and confident about the economy and its future, they may reduce their savings rates and start to borrow more than reduce their spending. In 2009, the consumer expectations about the economy were at a record low (United States Department of Labor: Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2014). Many people were negative about the economic expectations. That is why it is crucial to measure the consumer confidence by the consumer confidence index. The index will measure the consumers spending and savings current and in the future. The value can be adjusted and measured monthly through a quick survey of consumers opinions on the U.S. economic conditions. Ideas of customers are imperative and taken into consideration. The more consumers spend, the better the economy, as a whole, will be. Consumer Income According to Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED), the real median household income in the United States in the year 2013 was $51,939 (Federal Reserve Bank, 2013). 2013 was only slightly higher than the previous year, 2012, which recorded...
