...Racial discrimination “is a term used to describe unfair behavior afflicted on individuals based on their race” (LegalCyberTips, 2007, Para 1). The concept of racism has existed for decades. The act of one race attempting to exert supremacy over others has often resulted in racial discrimination (LegalCyberTips, 2007). Racial discrimination is a constant reality in the lives of Hispanic Americans in the United States. Due to alarming migration rates over the past several decades, the United States has experienced significant growth in ethnic and racial diversity. However, racial minority groups like the Hispanics; “the largest and fastest growing population in the United States, continue to struggle for full acceptance and equal opportunity” (Louie, 2005, Para 1). The migration of Hispanic groups such as the Puerto Rican Americans was not readily accepted by the United States causing immediate social inequality. This social inequality caused segregation and forced the Puerto Rican Americans to work the lowest paying jobs and live in the poorest communities. This paper identifies factors that influence past and present discrimination trends that have lead to the segregation, racial redlining and stereotyping of the Hispanic American in the United States. The term Hispanic was established by the United States Government in the early 1970's, “in an attempt to identify a diverse group of people among the population with a connection to the Spanish language or culture” (U.S. Diplomatic...

...Mashell Chapeyama Business Administration Sociology Key words Racial inequality, ethnic inequality, geographic location, discrimination, cultural orientation Causes of racial and ethnic inequality This discussion looks at the causes of racial and ethnic inequalities in the world. There are a number of causes of inequalities. Some causes are geographical location and discrimination. However inequality is on the decline on a global scale. Racial and ethnic inequality is found in many countries where there are either many races or ethnics or both. In Zimbabwe there is racial and ethnic inequality. There are various reasons for that. Whereas my discussion covers what is basically in my country, I have also researched on ethnic and racial inequalities in United States of America as from 1950s to 1970s, and the current situation. One main cause of inequality is the geographical location. Some people who are located in most remote areas of the country normally become marginalized. There is poor transportation system, poor education and far of from urban centers where technology and industrialization is mainly found. These people who live in remote areas are cut of from the rest of the world. They do not access quality education. Hence they remain marginalized and backward. In Zimbabwe a number of ethnic groups are found at the borders of the country. That is the reason for the inequality. Another cause of this disparity is cultural orientation. Various ethnic groups have...

...Phoenix SOC/120-Introduction to Sociology Dr. March November 25, 2012 Sociological Issue-Racism Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 forbids racial discrimination and persecution during the process of hiring, discharging, promoting, salary(pay), job training, fringe benefits, referrals, classifications, and other facets of occupations during and after employment on the foundation of color, race, religion, national origin, and sex (EEOC, 2011). The 2010 census results make available comprehensive household categorizations by race, age, relationship, and also showed statistics that those of Non-Hispanic Caucasian children at this time makeup the minority of new born babies in the U.S. underlining demographic alterations that could reform U.S. government policies concerning more than just civil rights (US Census). Prejudice, Racism, and Discrimination From the time when Christopher Columbus arrived to the “New World” Many aspects have transformed. Individuals from all around the globe throughout times past have immigrated to America so they could have the chance to live a free and better life. They arrived with the mentality to work earnestly as well as bring in money for their loved ones, but they were undoubtedly...

...Health disparities among racial and ethnic groups present a complex national issue. ….Health disparities are the differences in frequency, commonly occurring, raising the death rate, diseases that are difficult to bear, and other adverse health conditions or outcome that exists among specific population groups in the United States. …The specific population groups can be based on gender, age, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, geography, sexual orientation, disability, or special health care needs. Health disparities occur among groups who have persistently experienced historic trauma, social disadvantage, or discrimination. They are widespread in the United States as demonstrated by the fact that many minority groups in the United States have a higher incidence of chronic diseases, higher mortality, and poorer health outcomes when compared to whites.” ( Multicultural Health. n.d., p.14) …The causes of health disparities are due to both voluntary and involuntary factors. Voluntary factors are related to health behaviors, such as smoking and diet, and can be avoided. …Factors such as genetics, living and working in unhealthy conditions, limited or no access to health care, language barriers, limited financial resources, and low health literacy skills are often viewed as being involuntary and unfair, because they are not within that person’s control.”(Multicultural Health., n.d., p.19) From the research reported by the institute of medicine an overwhelming body of evidence in the...

...Discrimination in the U.S. workforce Anyaoha Chidebe Chioma canyaoha0874@student.bristoluniversity.edu Bristol University Course No: BUS 401 – Business Ethics April 28, 2016 INTRODUCTION This study examines age discrimination in employment and the legal and practical challenges that managers confront in seeking to establish and maintain a legal and ethical workplace. This article first provides a general introduction to Civil Rights laws in the United States; and then furnishes a detailed legal analysis of age discrimination laws in the United States. Data dealing with the aging of the workforce, the unemployment rates of older workers, as well as the number of age discrimination lawsuits in the United States is furnished. Persistent racial inequality in employment, housing, and other social domains has renewed interest in the possible role of discrimination. Contemporary forms of discrimination, however, are often subtle and covert, posing problems for social scientific conceptualization and measurement. WHAT IS DISCRIMINATION? Discrimination is treating, or proposing to treat, someone unfavorably because of a personal characteristic protected by law. According to its most simple definition, racial discrimination refers to unequal treatment of persons or groups on the basis of their race or ethnicity. In defining racial discrimination, many scholars and legal advocates distinguish between differential treatment and...

...Racial Diversity: Historical Worksheet Throughout most of the history of the United States, the majority race in most locations has been White, also referred to as Caucasian or White American. Of the White American race, there are two separate ethnic origins defined by the United States Census Bureau that a person may belong to – Hispanic or Non-Hispanic. A White Hispanic person is defined as a “citizen or resident who is racially white and of Hispanic descent”. The ancestral backgrounds that most members of the White Non-Hispanic racial group share are Europe, the Middle East, and North African, while those of Hispanic descent have ancestors from Spain or Latin America and Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa (United States Census Bureau, 2012). Two of the larger racial minority groups in U.S. history are Black or African Americans, comprising about 12.5% of the population, and Asian Americans who make up about 4.5% of the population. Black Americans are primarily descended from Africans who were involuntarily brought to American and the United States between the early 1600’s and the mid-1800’s, so specific African nations of origin are usually untraceable. Since the 1970’s, there has been a growing population within the Black American racial group who originate in Jamaica, Haiti, and Barbados. Black Americans have been a significant minority group since the early 1900’s. Asian Americans typically share ancestral backgrounds in China, the Philippines, Vietnam,...

...In the United States of America, racial profiling appears to be an accepted norms of today's society much like it was decades ago with segregation. Racial profiling is a discriminatory practice in which law enforcement targets suspicious individual of crime based on one's race, ethnicity, religion or national origins. There have been many cases where an innocent man of “color” is stopped and or arrested due the way they present themselves in public leaving law enforcement to believe they did something wrong, or spooking off others thinking the man of “color” was up to no good. Being treated differently based on race, was and still is a major discriminatory factor in the United States of America today. Racial profiling can be described as...

...Religious Group: Jehovah Witness Jehovah Witnesses are members of a Christian-based religious movement. They base their beliefs solely on the words written in the Bible and disregard any personal theories. Witnesses separate themselves from the outside world living, working, and educating themselves in a secular way. Celebrations of Easter, Christmas, and Birthdays are non-existent as well as participation of military service, voting and certain civic commitments. Jehovah Witnesses congregate in a structure referred to as Kingdom Hall. They complete extensive hours of missionary work visiting homes door-to-door delivering their messages. Jehovah Witnesses believe in living “properly” (i.e. honest, truthful, and sober). They strongly value medical intervention and refuse blood transfusions even in the case of near death. http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/witnesses/ * Jehovah Witnesses believe that traditional Christian churches have strayed from the true words * of the Bible and keep a level of isolation between non-believers and themselves. Witnesses * believe that all other religions are “false” and choose to associate with those who are in the * “truth” just like them. In conclusion, Witnesses are basically discouraged from relating with * anyone outside the religion. * http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/witnesses/ * Jehovah Witnesses have entered into multiple court cases to fight for their religious freedoms...
