Black Civil Rights
.... an association
called "Back to Africa". At the coming of the Second World War, blacks
participating in the war were being more important positions than ever before.
Franklin Roosevelt was the first president to make a strong contribution to
the Civil Rights movement. He had signed a declaration that stated no one could
be discriminated in the work place and other areas based on race. Also the high
court passed a law that enabled black children to have the same education
opportunities as white childre .....

Is Psychology A Science?
.... see if it describes reality. The scientific method works well in
observing and recording physical data and in reaching conclusions which
either confirm or nullify a theory.
During the mid-19th century, scholars (although at that time probably
termed philosophers) wanted to study human nature with the aim of applying
the scientific method to observe, record, and treat human behavior that
was deemed as unnatural. They believed that if people could be studied in
a scientific manner, there would be a greate .....

RACISM TODAY
.... and speech. Essentially, covert racism is a "hidden" racism, or a
racism not easily detected (Piazza 78). "Racism is still strongly
prevalent in today's society" (Gudorf 3).
The three different basic forms of racism, open racism, violent
racism, and covert racism all express forms of hatred towards distinct
ethnic groups (Bender 47). These basic forms of racism, although
different in form, all have the same main purpose, to promote racism. Open
racism expresses freedom of racial thou .....

Pollution Control: Costs And Benefits
.... "environmental awareness," many new businesses have
been established based on pollution control. They regulate the standards on
pollution output and help to assure that businesses play by the rules. With the
reduction of pollution, we have seen many positive benefits for life in general.
No one really knows if the years before 1970, when pollution ran free, were
insignificant to today; however, those years do reflect very large economic
drains.

Racism
.... It is a
roller coaster of a history. From extreme power, to rapid decline, and
slow reemergence (Software Toolworks Encyclopedia; 1992). The clan, who is
notorious for its violence, has a relatively innocent beginning. It was
formed from some veterans from the confederate army and was first called
the Kuklos Clan which, in Greek, meant Circle Clan.
One person thought it would be a good idea to call it the "Ku Klux Klan"
as a parody of the fraternity names which always had three Greek alphabet
letters .....

Blacks, Prison, And Institutional Racism
.... into the
institution of slavery. After the abolition of slavery Blacks faced
institutional racism, that is, racism legitimated by the whole of society
directed against the few of society. As a facet of that institutional racism
Blacks are now forced to persevere the increasing trend of control by the US
Criminal Justice System. Control by the USCJS includes the probation, parole,
imprisonment, and death of Blacks. A study conducted by the Sentencing Project
in 1989 found tat more than one-fourth of a .....

Racism
.... skin colour, all of these
act like building blocks to help construct what we know as Racism.
Racism has become one of the many burdens amongst multi-cultural
worlds like Canada and the States. Racism is a part of each and every one
of us. No doubt, we are all racist, but this the term racism has been used
too loosely. Racism has been mutated to such an extent that it could be a
reason for war, a symbol of terrorism, and even an excuse for neglecting.
Is that all there is to it? No, actually it .....

The Effects Of Race On Sentencing In Capital Punishment Cases
.... these various controls, the system does not
effectively eliminate racial bias.
Since Gregg v. Georgia the total population of all 36 death rows has
grown as has the number of judicial controls used by each state. Of the 3,122
people on death row 41% are black while 48% are white (Gest, 1996, 41). This
figure may be acceptable at first glance but one must take into account the fact
that only 12% of the U.S. population is black (Smolowe, 1991, 68). Carolyn

Slavery
.... from Africa by the Europeans in what
was called The Triangular Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. This was an
organized route where Europeans would travel to Africa bringing
manufactured goods, capture Africans and take them to the Caribbean, and
then take the crops and goods and bring them back to Europe. The African
people, in order to communicate invented a language that was a mixture of
all the African languages combined, called Creole. This language now
varies from island to island. They also kept their .....

Black Supremacy

book with this statement was printed in 1988, in my opinion blacks were fairly
liberated in 1988. Now the second part of his statement, repair what damage?
Any psychic damage which has been thrust upon the black race has not occurred
for quite some time: slavery...not in my lifetime nor separate bathrooms were
in my lifetime. And I am not about to feel sorry about what happened before my
time. Economic damage is not the .....

The Advantages Of Stupidity
.... encounter
barriers such as cruelty and insensitivity, with the utterance of
statements like, "Think with your head straight!" or, "You have a brain,
use it." Yet these are all true, there are still many advantages to
stupidity.
The first advantage is very easy to understand. Stupid people are
never asked to do a lot. Many have noticed that people tend to steer away
from someone they feel may be stupid. This is for a very good reason.
The stupidity which they posses makes a name for themselves, a na .....

Taoism
.... a sign of weakness in the mind. To truly
understand ones own religion, one must also understand those concepts of
the other religions of the world. Hopefully this will be an enlightenment
on the reincarnation concepts as they apply to Taoism and Buddhism.
The goal in Taoism is to achieve tao, to find the way. Tao is the
ultimate reality, a presence that existed before the universe was formed
and which continues to guide the world and everything in it. Tao is
sometimes identified as the Mother, or th .....

Blind Conformity: Malcolm X
.... disease. Straightening black hair, though, is just one impulse that
is bought on by blind conformity. Changing one's self to look or behave like
another because it is more desired by the public is due to a disregarding of one'
s self-claimed morals and values, an over emphasis of the media and outside
opinions, and an insecurity which most of us unfortunately have.
In My First Conk, Malcolm X assured that black people were being
brainwashed to believe that they actually were inferior to .....

As Canada entered it second century, Prime Minister Trudeau called for
a complete review of Canada's foreign policy. Starting in 1968 interested
Canadians including politicians, journalists, professors, business leaders,
financial experts, as well as church and labour leaders were invited to
offer opinions and advice in what was called the Trudeau Review. The
ending of this meeting brought about six foreign poli .....
