In a film of “Race the Power of an Illusion, Part I The Difference Between Us”, it talked about the differences of races such as skin, eye, hair color. However, in our genetic, the human is not very different than we think but we had a similar genetic code. In the 1950s, the athlete champions were all black, and they were much better than any other. Maybe because of that some people think there are different structure bodies than other races. In this case, I think it could make sense that black people have better body structure than white.

The most prominentwhite rural figures such as Julie, and later Julie from season 9 and Mike from season 10, cover significant discursive terrain in the way the show addresses racism. Through mediations of casting, family practices, editing, and narrative strategies, The Real World suggests that racism is a phenomenon located within rural conservatives, not liberals with an urban feel.

Yes, it is helpful to confront other people about a conflicting issue. Why? You may ask because nowadays a lot of people hold grudge, and when asked if the grudge was worth it a-lot of people say no, few will say yes, and many of them don’t even remember what they were fighting about.

Flashcards is a technique that has been used for ages and have proven to be an effective method for assisting children with reading.
