Labor force experiences
racism and sexism in our society has become that now chances
to gain access to have the right for schools or professions has
been closed down to the majority of people of color for many
generations. Even though there has been recent gains in
education and professional department have made rising and
made it possible for some minorities, but it is quite difficult for
them to create the connections needed to enter the highest levels
of management without knowing people that are already inside.
Groups Identity
Society itself has pushed away the idea of all human kind being
equal and having equal rights and opportunity. Starting at home,
learning from our parents and imitating their behavior towards
others.
Media has a major impact on setting a certain picture of what to
think about ethnicities. For example the news only featuring
violence, drugs, hate about African Americans.
Separation of groups in school and/or work and influenced on
tastes like music, cuisine, culture..etc
In 1954, the U.S. Supreme Court came up with the “separate but
equal” doctrine that began the basis for state-sanctioned
discrimination, portraying national and international attention
to the African American rights.
About a decade after this movement was applied the activists
used protests without violence to bring change and for the
federa government to take initiative in their right to vote. That
brought the “Civil Rights Act” 1968.
One of many leaders to raise a voice was Martin Luther King Jr.
Rights
One of the most significant achievements of African-American
civil rights movements that has changed history forever was that
after the Civil War constitutional amendments abolished slavery
and had established the citizenship status of African Americans
or what they called “blacks”. Causing judicial decisions and
legislation based on these amendments, the Supreme Court’s
Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka decision of 1954, the
Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. A
major movement and change for them.
Historical Significance
Discrimination
Unfortunately racism still exists and will continue on existing
because that is part of being human and judging what we see
and experience.
Not only in the United States we know that discrimination
against blacks is still a major point. For example in Germany,
this country’s constitution prohibits racial discrimination in
general, but there is basically no case law that specifically deals
with it, therefore there has been many situations where this
ethnicity doesn't feel welcome and has suffered from racism.
Environmental effects
The race problems could be minimized and humans of all races
could learn to accept, love and live together in peace and
harmony, but it results us impossible to ignore little things that
were are not confortable with. Race problems are the most
sensitive issues of our modern time and have been going on for
some time.
Since America is a country with diversity in culture and
ethnicity we need to better understand the race relations and to
help enjoy our society and culture varieties. Need to learn to
avoid rising racial conflicts and tensions pervading our nation.
Strategies
We can’t all be ignorant and judge people who we don't know
just by their looks. In reality racism/discrimination cannot just
be resolved like that.
We need to learn to live with what surrounds us and to educate
ourselves before jumping into conclusions and treating others
with respect and know that every citizen deserves the rights we
deserve.
Equality, respect, and harmony is what this country and the rest
of the world needs to decrease or completely wipe out any
discrimination form.
