This document discusses the concept of colorblind racism in the United States. It begins by providing historical context on shifts from de jure and de facto racism pre-1960 to the challenges of covert racism post-civil rights movement. While civil rights eliminated legalized racism, racial disparities remain in areas like income, education, health, and incarceration. The document then examines these disparities in more detail and discusses how colorblind racism rationalizes them through notions of diversity, meritocracy, and blaming people of color rather than addressing systemic inequalities or covert racism.

Color blind racism 2013
This document summarizes research on color-blind racism and how racism operates in more subtle, institutional ways today. It discusses Bonilla-Silva's concept of color-blind racism, which involves avoiding overtly racist language but still conveying racialized ideologies through coded language. It also summarizes Hill-Collins' framework of racism operating through four interconnected domains of power: structural, disciplinary, cultural, and interpersonal. The document proposes a model for examining disciplinary disproportionality in schools through this framework.

This paper analyzes F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby through the lens of psychoanalytic theory, focusing on the characters' unconscious motivations and dysfunctional relationships. It discusses concepts from Sigmund Freud like the id, ego, and superego and how they influence characters' actions. For example, Gatsby's pursuit of Daisy is driven by his id's desire, though complicated by his ego and superego. The paper also examines Alfred Adler's concept of inferiority complex in Daisy's relationship with her belittling husband Tom. Overall, it interprets the novel as a psychological drama exploring how characters fail to resolve conflicts from their past, which contributes to the tragic outcomes of their emotionally
Alice walker everyday use
Dee's character in the story "Everyday Use" by Alice Walker confirms that when one comes from an impoverished and uneducated background, exposure to higher education can lead them to become more eccentric. Dee's behavior and radical transformation is analyzed through an interdisciplinary lens including education, culture, sociology, and African American studies. Education allowed Dee to change, and her weak family relationships made her more open to new cultures. Sociology and learning about African American empowerment in college also influenced Dee's shift in views and need to understand her history.
Student Protest Movement
There were several key reasons for the growth of student protest movements in the 1960s. Students were dissatisfied with strict social norms and the ongoing Vietnam War. The civil rights movement inspired students to protest for equality and against racism. The emerging counter-culture embraced freedom of expression, music, drugs and sexuality. Rising student populations and expectations of change further fueled demonstrations against the government and universities.
Death of the Author
The document discusses Roland Barthes' essay "The Death of the Author" from the 1960s. Barthes argued that meaning comes from the reader's interpretation, not the original intent of the author. He believed limiting a text to its author's meaning imposes restrictions. Instead, the creation of meaning occurs through the reader interacting with the text. This shift emphasized reading as a creative act and "birth of the reader" over focusing on the author.

The document guides students through examining post-apartheid South African poetry and how it conveys ideas about the country, land, and people.
Religious Texts Used to Justify Persecution
Religious texts have been used to justify persecution of various groups. The document highlights passages from the Hebrew Scriptures, Christian Scriptures, and Quran that were interpreted to support slavery and the subjugation of slaves. It also cites texts used against Jews, including portraying them as enemies of God and agents of the devil. Christian leaders like Aquinas, popes, and Chrysostom accepted or promoted mistreatment of slaves and Jews. The purpose is to show how religion has been misused to marginalize people.

PERSUASION (Psych 201 - Chapter 8 - Spring 2014)
This document provides a summary of key concepts from Chapter 8 on persuasion from a Psychology 201 class. It includes a 10-song playlist with brief explanations of concepts associated with each song. The document then discusses the Elaboration Likelihood Model of persuasion, which proposes two routes to persuasion - central and peripheral. The central route involves carefully thinking about rational arguments while the peripheral route uses superficial cues. Factors that increase the likelihood of taking the central route include high motivation, ability, and personal relevance of the message. An experiment that tested predictions of the ELM is summarized. The document concludes by discussing source characteristics and message characteristics from the Yale Approach to persuasion.
The Death of the Author
Roland Barthes was a French literary theorist who argued against traditional literary analysis that centered on the author's biography. He believed the meaning of a text comes from the reader rather than being determined by the author's intentions or life experiences. According to Barthes, a text is composed of references to other texts and cultures rather than being an original creation, and it has multiple meanings that cannot be fully deciphered or limited by identifying the author. He concluded that the reader, not the author, gives a text its unity and understanding, and that "the birth of the reader must be at the cost of the death of the Author."
Keats's theory of negative capability
- Keats did not like to foster abstract thought in his poetry and cared little for intellectual truths that could not be verified through experience.
- Keats believed the poet should have "negative capability" - the ability to exist with uncertainties and doubts without reaching for facts or reasons.
- For Keats, poetry's purpose was to give pleasure by revealing universal psychological truths about human nature, not personal thoughts or views. The poet must replace the personal with the general to create a sense of "remembrance" in readers.
Feminist Criticism
1. Feminist literary criticism examines representations of women in texts and challenges traditional gender roles and stereotypes.
2. Early feminist critics analyzed how women authors faced barriers and how female characters were portrayed in limited, stereotypical ways.
3. More recent criticism looks at the intersection of gender with other identities like race and sexuality, and how cultural factors shape concepts of masculinity and femininity.
Stuart hall ppt
Stuart Hall was a Jamaican-born cultural theorist known as the "godfather of multiculturalism." In this document, Hall discusses two ways of thinking about cultural identity. First, as a shared culture, which was important for negritude movements. However, Hall believes cultural identity is better understood as unstable and contradictory, with similarities and differences. He argues cultural identities are formed from histories but are constantly transforming, shaped by memory, fantasy, and narrative. Hall also examines how Caribbean cultural identities relate to African, European, and American influences in the context of colonialism.

Week 1 critical reading ppt ENL
This document provides an overview of critical reading skills for analyzing literature. It discusses examining the title to form questions, understanding word choice and definitions, considering narration and point of view, and the importance of annotating texts. Annotating involves underlining key words, highlighting phrases, and taking notes in the margins or a journal to pay close attention and start thinking critically about how elements like the title, diction, and narration impact interpretations of the work. The example annotation analyzes the first few lines of a Tennyson poem to speculate on implied meanings. Mastering these critical reading techniques will help incorporate quotes and cite sources correctly.
Macflecknoe or a satyr upon the trew blue-protestant poet
:-“Mac Flecknoe; or, A satyr upon the True-Blew-Protestant Poet, T.S.” was a lampoon by John Dryden against the poet laureate Thomas Shadwell who superseded him in 1669.
Mac means ‘son of’. So, MacFlecknoe means ‘Son of Flecknoe’, while the word ‘True-Blew’ means an extreme ‘Whig Blue’ which was the colour of the Tories.
Richard Flecknoe (c. 1600 – 1678) was an English dramatist and poet. His works were praised by some critics and derided by others. Why John Dryden used his name to ridicule and satirize Thomas Shadwell, his contemporary and one time friend who later became an enemy, is not clear. Flecknoe was a minor poet having religious inclinations and most of his writings were private writings. So, Dryden calling him ‘the monarch of absolute nonsense’ was similar to Iago’s ‘motive hunting of a motiveless malignity’. Thomas Shadwell was called the ‘son and successor’ of Flecknoe’.
Modernism age
Modernism was an international literary and cultural movement in the early 20th century marked by experimentation with form and a rejection of absolute knowledge. It arose amidst significant historical events like World Wars and social changes like women gaining the right to vote. Major influences included Einstein's theory of relativity and Freud's work in psychology. Themes in modern literature explored disillusionment, violence, and the breakdown of social norms. Characteristics included open and experimental forms, discontinuity, and intertextuality. Major modernist writers included Virginia Woolf, T.S. Eliot, James Joyce, and D.H. Lawrence.
Transcendentalism powerpoint
Transcendentalism was a 19th century philosophical movement that believed truths can be discovered through intuition rather than the senses. It promoted a heightened awareness of the relationship between man and nature, prioritizing feelings over reason, and believed this could lead to a reformation of society away from materialism. Key characteristics included seeing nature as divine, a rejection of societal norms in favor of individualism and inner truth, and a focus on moral issues like abolition and women's rights through literature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
This document provides information about Ralph Waldo Emerson and Transcendentalism. It discusses key beliefs of Transcendentalism such as the importance of intuition over religious doctrine. It also analyzes Emerson's short poem "Days" and discusses different interpretations of the word "hypocritic" in the poem and how readers perceive the human relationship with the passage of time.
Emily dickinson
Emily Dickinson was a renowned American poet born in 1830 in Amherst, Massachusetts. She lived a reclusive life, rarely leaving her family's home after her mid-20s. During her lifetime, only a small number of her poems were published. After her death, over 1,700 of her poems were discovered and published. Her unconventional use of form, syntax, and white space had a significant influence on subsequent poets. Dickinson's poetry focused on themes of nature, spirituality, and the human condition. She left a legacy as one of the most important American poets of the 19th century.
Sex and gender module 2
This document discusses the social construction of difference and how ideology shapes perceptions of normalcy. It outlines key concepts including sex and gender, essentialism versus social constructionism, and the paradox of privilege whereby privilege is experienced individually but conferred based on group membership. The document also notes how difference only takes on positive or negative meanings within systems of oppression and privilege, and how individuals exist within and can influence larger social systems.

Racism
This document discusses the history and definitions of racism. It examines how racism was established through events like the Age of Discovery, sanctioned by the Catholic Church through Papal Bulls. This led to the Doctrine of Discovery and laws that justified invading and enslaving indigenous peoples. The impact of these laws and historical trauma can still be seen today in indigenous communities through health, education and employment deficits. The document analyzes how racism operates in societies through conflict theory, structural functionalism and symbolic interactionism. It provides examples of racism in New Zealand and discusses underlying themes like dehumanization and the denial of humanity.

What Is Racial Segregation
Racial segregation and discrimination have negatively impacted various racial groups in the United States throughout history. African Americans faced legalized segregation and Jim Crow laws after the Civil War. Hispanics/Latinos also experienced discrimination as Anglo Americans sought to protect their culture from foreign influences. While laws have changed, the effects of past segregation like unequal education and wealth gaps remain challenges today.

Working with Ethnic Diversity in a Pluralistic Society
Human diversity is a significant factor in working with all people. It is not only a determinant of individual and social functioning; it also affects every aspect of practice in human service. Only when human service workers are sensitive to differences among people, knowledgeable about their causes and effects, and skillful in recognizing and working with them will practice be effective. Although dealing with diversity has always been a part of education for practice, its importance has become increasingly obvious in the last half century. his increased awareness has been sparked by major historical changes. he civil rights movement of the 1960s forced into the forefront of U.S. consciousness awareness of the existence of groups of people within the society who, because of their differences, were denied access to many of its benefits and were subject to personal and institutional discrimination. Changes that came as a result of this movement are reflected in laws and institutions, and minority people themselves have learned that as groups they possess strength, can effect social change, and can demand their rights to full participation in society. A second factor is what has been called the “new immigration” of people fleeing from economic and ecological disaster, civil unrest, wars, starvation, lack of opportunity, violence, and oppression. Earlier immigration had, for the most part, been invited and welcomed when the country was young and needed settlers and workers. However, the country is growing older and no longer needs workers, except in those instances where immigrants can be exploited, as in migrant farm or household workers. In spite of its affluence, the United States faces major problems—unemployment, poverty, crime, violence, drugs, and homelessness. Such problems most strongly affect those Working

without a stable place in the social structure, and newcomers are particularly vulnerable. Because of the destructive experiences they have undergone, newcomers may also bring physical and emotional problems, a history of malnutrition, and lack or loss of schooling. We seem to be moving toward a more pluralistic society wherein sharply different ethnic groups exist side by side, sharing in its benefits and enriching it by their diversity. Such changes do not come easily, and there will always be conflict where there are different interest groups and varying loyalties. However, the inherent strength of a democracy lies in its ability to reconcile them. People carry with them down through the generations vestiges of their original ethnicity, but as they are exposed to different cultures, adaptation takes place, and all of the people and institutions involved are changed by the process. History indicates that this adaptation can be successful until and unless populat.

AMERICANRACE
This document discusses the social construction of race and racism in the United States. It begins by arguing that while the Pledge of Allegiance promises "liberty and justice for all," in reality most liberty and justice is reserved for white people. It then defines race as a social construct used to categorize and group people based on physical characteristics like skin color. The document explores different forms of racism, from overt racism to more subtle institutional and covert racism, and how racism is rooted in prejudice and discrimination that privileges white people and limits opportunities for minorities. It examines how racism is perpetuated through cultural forces like media stereotypes and the internalization of negative racial messages.
