California Diversity

I think that kids shouldn't play football because it is too dangerous. People get concussions every day when they play football. After repeatedly bashing their skulls football players get concussions, caused by the spongy tissue in the brain hitting the hard skull. It is very painful to get a concussion, and leaves permanent damage to the brain. As well as being excruciatingly painful, and possibly never being the same, with many issues. "In milder cases, athletes can be left with lifelong pain, memory lapses, aggression, depression, personality changes, and many other issues."(Shotz[11]). This sport just keeps getting more and more dangerous, manifesting on itself, becoming more and more brutal as players become more competitive. There are

We probably know discrimination occurs in any situation, anywhere. I think discrimination depends on individual reasons or social problems because everything around us can make us fall prey to discrimination. Today, we know discrimination of race is unlawful, but it is still existent in some people, and it gets skillfully concealed under some form, or another. For example, in the essay “Black Man Ponders His Power to Alter Public” by Brent Staples, the author is a black man. He explains a few encounters in which he has been a victim of discrimination because of his skin color. I love America, because this country includes many different races; it makes me think of the beautifully-diverse prairie flowers. I thought

According to Josh Sides, author of “L.A. City Limits,” there are three reasons why the demography of Southern California shifted so much in the 20th century. Sides states that diverse racial composition, dynamic economic growth, and dispersive spatial arrangement are what makes Southern California what it is today. He believes people migrated to the Los Angeles area looking for a better opportunity for work and living conditions. In the book, Sides makes it clear that Los Angeles is the city where African Americans chose to reside in order to seek better living conditions. People, especially minorities, wanted to be treated fairly and they wanted to be looked at as equals. Sides gets this point across clearly when he says “…they wanted to be treated with respect, dignity, and equality in public…” It is because of these reasons that minorities began changing the face of not only Los Angeles, but the entire state of California.

In a recent survey by the University of Southern California nearly 75 percent of voter state that “relations between people of different races were “good” or “excellent” in their own neighborhoods” (Abrams). Yet these same participants agree that black men and woman face more discrimination than any other race. Though racial discrimination in California has mitigated considerably over the years it is still a major problem. The peak of racial tensions occurred early on in California’s past.

Civil Right Violation is a problem that goes unseen in california. Nobody pays attention to it. Police officers beat or kill innocent citizens every year and don’t get punished. It’s a violation to our civil rights. They can’t just beat or kill an innocent person. 487 percent of latinos were killed, 341 percent of whites were killed, 229 percent of blacks were killed, and 76 percent of other races were killed by california police officers form 2006 through 2015.

The sad reality of this situation is that it does not happen only in Hawaii, but all over the world. World history is littered with indigenous children being taken away from their families. As seen in this paper, it is a sad circumstance that continues to this day. While many people believe that we are improving our treatment of indigenous people, the reality is that the world is still exhibiting the same behaviors but have just changed their face in order to adapt to new times. Instead of using missionaries and boarding schools to try to acclimate children to majority culture whilst managing to take them away from their parents, we now have the foster care system. The bias in the foster care system in not only in Hawaii, but is also happening

Throughout its history, California has been seen as a place of great racial and ethnic diversity, a place that people would relocate to so that they may start over, or strike it rich, or better their health and their overall well-being. California during the twentieth century was not much different; the population grew at an extremely rapid pace, natural resources became scarce, and tensions between different classes and races began to become stronger and more intense. Government induced racial tensions along with the movement through the Progressive Era and various types of immigrant, social, and racial reforms along with the Civil Rights Movement have all culminated to create the diverse and still at some times tense racial make-up for which California is known; California is made up of a variety of people, for the purposes of this paper, the discussion will focus on Mexican-Americans, African-Americans, Asian-Americans, and Anglo-Americans all living in California throughout the twentieth century. Discrimination is not always based on a person’s racial make-up, factors such as gender, economic status, class and other social concerns as well as race play an important role in the discrimination of different groups of people. What this paper will argue is that the discussion of discrimination cannot be debated unless all of these factors are present when concerning the history of California and the

The misconception among American’s is that all Hispanics are alike. They have the same cultural backgrounds and speak the same language. This could not be further from the truth. In actuality there is great diversity among different Latin ethnic groups. Hispanic Americans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, and Columbians all have different cultural and historic back grounds that identify them as separate ethnic groups.

I never knew about the diversity of Mexican people in relation to the fact they had European settlers. I always thought that the Mexican people were all Mexican and were the original people of the country. I also found the suppression of the indigenous people similar to not only black people in America but American Indians and how they were pushed out of the mainstream. They even have recognized Mexican Indian groups (the same as the United States) and are allowed to resolve their own conflicts and elect leaders (Schaefer, 2015, p 349). I never thought of Mexico as having slaves like the United States so it was interesting that they discussed the color gradient similar to the situation in America where we have those that that are lighter

The majority Californians don't openly display antagonistic tendencies toward those of a different skin color but the racism is still there simmering under the surface. No one would dare say anything remotely racist in public but behind the safety of a computer screen racism still runs rampant over social media. Many online communities are devoted to deporting undocumented immigrants

Illegal immigrants do bring a sense of Diversity to our country. There are so many different cultures all around the world that we dom not know of and would probably never see if not for these immigrants bringing their culture with them. Im a firm believer that everyone has the right to believe or think what they like. They have to right to believe what they were brought up to believe or if they want to change them they have that right to do so as well. Everytime is hear or witness the issues with illegal immigrants, i can not help but wonder why they want to come the the United States. What cause or situation has they leaving their native land and come here, what is the reason they want to live here. I know many countries out thier are not as well off as ours and i feel that is the reason many do come here in serch of a better life. I believe we all deserve this chance. Even us as native born citizen, deserve this chance. I feel that is where illegal immagrants hinder society and usally get a bad wrap for recieving special help before our own citizens do. We are not all well off to do here in our own country and i feel that our own citizens need help as well.

"Good bye honey! Take care! Call us when you get there safely!" my mother cried. I can still hear those words as if it were yesterday and in reality it was fourteen years ago, that I packed up and left my small town back in southern New Jersey.

On the contrary, some opinions think that geographic diversity is as barriers that limit the development of this country. America is facing to some disadvantages. The position of this country is quite far from other continents, creates distance for product markets. The challenge for the US is a limited market while it has copious raw materials to develop exploiting industry. For climate, many people often think that the United States has specific weather with the natural disasters like heavy rain, flood and water cannons. The United States is the homeland of tornadoes called as the serial killer. People's lives are so tough and unforeseeable. Annually, people still suffer as well as overcome its consequences. This also makes a great influence

The Glorious Revolution that occurred in 1688 to 1689 was a bloodless revolution in England that was a turning point in modern history. The true glory of the revolution was that it contained no massacre and that a settlement by consent was reached on the religious and political differences that had divided parties for ages. A thinker during the time, John Locke came up with new models and inspirations for the evolving concept of government. Locke argued that power came from the people, not from a divine right to royal rule. Kings should therefore be restrained by institutions that protected the public interest, including certain general rights to freedom and property. Therefore. a more democratic form of government known as a limited monarchy replaced absolutism and at the same time limited its power by the 1689 Bill of Rights. The revolution established the supremacy of parliament over the crown that set Britain on the path towards constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy (Maurice, 2017). The king and queen became figureheads, when before they were absolute monarchs. In 1660, when Charles II was on the throne, Englishmen were uncertain about the Stuarts and suspected him of Papal tendencies and absolutists learnings. Charles II did not adhere to Parliament since he had favoring alliances with Catholic powers in Europe. When Charles II died in 1685, Charles was succeeded by his brother James II, Duke of York. The Whigs, a parliamentary group did not want a

Try to imagine a relative sitting in a dark, cold, and tight prison cell and knowing minutes later that death would come for them through lethal injection. What if their case wasn't handled correctly, what if evidence was mishandled, and possibly an innocent person is going to die. Imagine the family who has been waiting years for justice to be served by the means of lethal injection. There is two sides to every story either way both families will grieve or already is. According to Death Penalty Information Center (2011), since 1976 the United States of America has executed 1,243 individuals who have been convicted of a serious crime. The death penalty has been used since the Eighteenth Century B.C. to present
