The fact is that prejudice and discrimination isn’t only something […]

The media misleads reality by forming and reinforcing gender stereotypes. Women are subjugated by being portrayed into categories like sex objects, victims and or dependents of society. We live in a world full of discrimination. People (men and women) are categorized and judged based on who they are.

Keywords: Lorem, ipsum, dolor Stereotypes are […]

Officers are there to serve and protect but if you’re a man of color it might often feel like you’re the one needing to be protected from an officer that has gained a talent for racial profiling. Our society in an unconscious way has been made to feel that somehow people of color are naturally more dangerous and commit more, often worse […]
The Two Sides of Police Brutality Barack Obama once said, Our police officers put their lives on the line for us every single day. They’ve got a tough job to do to maintain public safety and hold accountable those who break the law (Earnest 2014). This statement uses a rhetorical device known as hyperbole. A hyperbole is used when there is an over exaggeration to prove one’s point. In this case, Obama is trying to prove the importance of the […]
There have been many cases of gun violence in America. For example, the school shooting that occurred in December 2012 in which 20 elementary school children were victims.

Daily people encounter various ethical dilemmas, which are analyzed with the help of ethical principles. Still, while resolving ethical challenges, it is important to take into consideration all peculiarities of the case in the perspective of present time. Undoubtedly, current approaches of dealing with ethical dilemmas are different from those, which were relevant 100 years ago.

According to the Declaration of Independence “all men are created equal,” but are all men truly created equal when the freedom of the United States is limited to men and women who are not free from the abuse of racism?

The main discussions in Brandt’s article were basically explaining how they conducted the experiment and the how the era in which It happened effected it.

The song is called “I’m Not A Racist”, it is sung by Joyner Lucas and written by Gary Lucas. The title “I Am Not […]
