This document is a racial equity report card for North Carolina that provides data on demographic statistics and metrics in education and juvenile justice. Some key findings include:
- White and Asian students have higher rates of being deemed "college and career ready" based on standardized test scores compared to Hispanic, Black, American Indian and multiracial students.
- Black students receive suspensions, both short-term and long-term, at much higher rates than other groups. They also have higher rates of juvenile complaints, detentions and commitments to youth detention centers.
- The report card is produced by the Youth Justice Project to evaluate racial disparities in education and juvenile systems in order to identify causes and solutions to racial inequity.
Abstract: Identity means to display ourselves how we want others to perceive us. How people construct their identities has been an important concern. Because, identity is an important mode of lifestyle. Language has been in close relationship with identity. Role of language in maintenance of identity has been obvious in many renowned works. The Present study investigated the role of language in constructing ethnic identity and data interpretation revealed the need and importance of language for maintenance of identity.
Keywords: Identity, maintenance, language, ethnic group, researchers.
Queer Analysis explores issues of sexuality, power, and marginalized groups. It aims to deconstruct social norms and show how boundaries have changed. Early data collection focused on reviewing theories, but now includes ontological and epistemological research. Queer Theory examines how identities intersect in complex ways. While support for LGBTQ+ research exists in academia, Queer Theory remains relatively new and still faces challenges to being fully incorporated even at educated institutions.

This document discusses the representation of ethnicity in media texts. It outlines learning objectives to analyze how African Americans are portrayed, understand two media theories on ethnicity, and conduct a textual analysis of a media text's representation of ethnicity. The document introduces Alvarado's theory of four key stereotypical representations of African Americans as exotic, dangerous, humorous, or pitied. It also defines tokenism as the superficial inclusion of marginalized groups to create an illusion of diversity rather than address discrimination.
Queer theory emerged from gay and lesbian studies in the early 1990s. It challenges traditional assumptions that sexuality fits into binary categories of heterosexual or homosexual. Queer theory asserts that all sexual behaviors and identities are socially constructed rather than innate. It critiques the normalization of heterosexuality and the labeling of other sexualities as deviant. Queer theory questions the idea that gender and sexuality are fixed, arguing instead that they are fluid and performative in nature.

Queer theory questions the idea that gender and sexuality are fixed, arguing instead that they are fluid and performative in nature.
The document discusses representation of ethnicity in media. It states that ethnicity, like gender, consists of both biological and culturally defined characteristics. Media representation of ethnic groups can rely on rigid stereotypes similar to gender stereotypes. However, stereotyping of race is seen as more harmful than gender stereotypes because media may provide children's only experience of certain ethnic groups. The document also notes that most research has focused on representation of black people and that representation of other groups like Asian and Latino people is also important given their population sizes. It discusses how representation of ethnic groups has both improved and still includes negative stereotypes at times.
The Queer Theory was created by Judith Butler and is based on her work in Gender Trouble from 1990. She argues that identities are not fixed and are instead made up of many characteristics. Gender is a variable that can change based on context and time rather than being a fixed attribute determined by sex. Butler believes gender is a performance rather than something innate and fixed.
The document discusses representation of sexuality in media. It outlines common representations of heterosexual women and men, homosexual women and men, and transgender individuals. These representations include monogamous, promiscuous, embarrassed or in the closet. It notes that sexuality is often expressed through gender expression and physical attributes. The document advises analyzing how a character's gender and sexuality are constructed and whether the representation is positive, negative, or stereotypical.

This document provides an overview of queer theory, including its origins in response to feminist theory and gay/lesbian studies in 1990. It challenges dominant social norms and binary views of gender and sexuality. The document outlines key theorists like Judith Butler and Michel Foucault. It also discusses how queer theory relates to LGBTQ community and activism, as well as criticism that the theory is no longer as relevant as cultural views change.
This document discusses representations of ethnicity in media and provides examples of common ethnic stereotypes portrayed in television. It asks key questions about whether representations are stereotypical or counter-typical, positive or negative, who is doing the representing and to whom. Common stereotypes discussed include portrayals of black and Asian people as criminals or immigrants, and white upper-class individuals. The document also asks students to consider stereotypes challenged in television and provides a task to analyze positive and negative ethnic representations in TV shows.
Queer Theory emphasizes radical differences from social norms and views social structures as the root of human oppression. It focuses on critiquing social boundaries and the mechanisms that enforce them. Historically centered on sexuality studies, Queer Theory also addresses other issues and is critical of anything mainstream. While marriage equality seems radical to some, Queer approaches tend to oppose gay marriage as too traditional and conforming to social control. Queer Theory draws from both academic social science and political activism that challenges traditions and institutions. It overlaps with but also differs from feminism and racial theory by questioning the validity of gender and racial categories.
Queer theory holds that all identities, including gender and sexual identities, are social constructions rather than innate. It critiques the traditional binary categories of gender and sexuality, such as man/woman and gay/straight. Judith Butler, a key scholar, argued that repeated representations of heterosexuality work to present it as normal, but representations of alternatives like drag queens can subvert and destabilize dominant heterosexual ideology. However, some argue that mainstream media representations of queer identities do little to challenge gender norms and are used more for shock value than celebration of diversity.
The document discusses representations of ethnicity in British media and common stereotypes. It notes that while ethnic minorities make up nearly 8% of the UK population, their representation in television is often limited and relies on stereotypes. Common stereotypes seen include black people portrayed as entertainers or criminals, Middle Eastern people as shopkeepers or traditional/misogynistic, and stereotypes of other groups are often absent entirely. The document argues for more progressive representations that move beyond limited stereotypes.
The document discusses how the media portrays minorities to make majority audiences feel more comfortable. It does this through several techniques:
1) By portraying minorities in stereotypical ways or in settings that play up to stereotypes from the perspective of the majority.
2) By depicting minorities as experiencing the same things as the majority, like The Cosby Show did by showing a black family living a similar middle-class lifestyle as white families.
3) By using minorities as "token" or minor secondary characters that play supporting roles to white primary characters. This allows the media to include diversity while still catering to white audiences.
Queer theory examines non-normative expressions of gender and sexuality. It rejects the idea that identities fit into fixed categories like male/female or gay/straight. Key theorists include Judith Butler, who argued that gender and other identities are fluid and performed rather than expressing an inner essence. Queer theory looks at ambiguity and fluidity in representations, describing spaces outside of binary categories as "queer spaces." It also defines "queer texts" as those dealing with queer themes or allowing queer readings that identify subtext.
Queer Theory aims to change society and analyze it. It is influenced by Judith Butler's Gender Trouble, which argues that gender and sex should not be linked categories so that all sexual identities can be accepted. Queer Theory points to examples in popular culture like gender-bending performers and advertisements that suggest gender and sexuality are more fluid concepts than fixed identities. It also notes that gay and lesbian characters in media are now treated less as tokenism and more as normal representations.
This document discusses representation and textual analysis for media studies examinations. It focuses on analyzing representations of ethnicity and sexuality through techniques like mise-en-scene, camerawork, editing and sound. Stereotypical portrayals of different ethnic groups like Afro-Caribbean, East Asian and Latin American are outlined. Representations of sexuality, both heterosexual and homosexual, are also described in terms of common stereotypes. Analyzing these representations is important to understand the dominant ideologies and social myths being created or reinforced in media texts.
This document summarizes demographic statistics about racial and ethnic minorities in the United States. It finds that while minorities now make up over half of the largest school districts, on average their incomes, life expectancies, home ownership rates, and other socioeconomic indicators lag behind those of white Americans. For example, the median net worth of white families is over $88,000 compared to just $6,000 for black families and $7,900 for Latino families. Black youth also face disproportionately high rates of incarceration for the same crimes compared to white youth.
The document discusses representation of ethnicity in TV drama and common stereotypes. It notes that ethnicity refers to social groups that share identity, history and culture. Around 4.6 million people in the UK have an ethnic background, with 45% living in London. It then examines stereotypes that have historically been used to portray people of black, Indian, Japanese, Middle Eastern, and Far Eastern origin in reduced or exaggerated ways. These stereotypes are still sometimes present today but representation is improving with more positive and diverse portrayals that move beyond stereotypes.
Minority rights presentation io 2012 10-31Tim Wilson
The document provides an overview of UN initiatives and declarations regarding minority rights protection compared to country-specific issues and programs. It discusses the 1992 UN Minorities Declaration which defines minorities based on national, ethnic, cultural, religious or linguistic identity and calls on states to protect their existence. It also outlines two key UN declarations: the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples adopted in 2007 and the Declaration on the Rights of Persons Belonging to National or Ethnic, Religious and Linguistic Minorities adopted in 1992.
This report has focused on certain minority communities, such as the Christian, Hindu and Ahmadi communities, because they are the most visible and most targeted communities for discrimination and violence. However, we recognise all minority communities in Pakistan as sovereign citizens of the state who deserve equality, justice and dignity.
My research indicates that minorities identify strongly with a Pakistani national identity, even as they are persecuted on the basis of their religious identity. Minorities who have a historical connection to this land and have been contributing members of society are now being targeted for their beliefs. Alongside, Pakistan needs to address and take measures to rectify the wide spread prejudice and intolerance within the government, the judiciary, law enforcement, the media, as well as society at large. Ultimately and fundamentally, transition from Pakistan’s currently institutionalised “two-tiered” citizenship, i.e., Muslim and non-Muslim, into one that ensures equality of all citizens and the plurality that was envisioned by Mohammad Ali Jinnah should be supported.
The document discusses key topics in queer theory, including what constitutes queer identity and culture. It addresses issues like representation and stereotyping of queer communities in mass media, as well as the mainstreaming and commercialization of queer culture. The document also outlines concerns of queer theory such as challenging dominant gender and sexuality norms upheld in society and popular culture.
This document provides an overview of queer theory and its application to media representations of gender and sexuality. It discusses how queer theory emerged in the 1990s to challenge heteronormativity and limited representations of LGBT people. It also summarizes key concepts like gender as a social construct and "gender trouble." Examples are given of media texts like Will & Grace and Brokeback Mountain that can be analyzed through this theoretical lens.

The document discusses the representation of ethnicity in media texts, focusing on African Americans. It introduces learning objectives around analyzing how African Americans are portrayed and discussing two media theories on ethnicity. One theory discusses four key themes in representing race: exotic, dangerous, humorous, and pitied. The document also defines and gives an example of tokenism, which is the limited inclusion of marginalized groups to create an illusion of diversity rather than address discrimination.
This document summarizes research on the relationship between life satisfaction, ethnicity, and neighborhood ethnic composition in the UK. The researchers hypothesized that (H1) ethnic minorities would report lower life satisfaction due to the psychological costs of being in an out-group, and (H2) life satisfaction would be positively associated with the proportion of one's own ethnic group in the neighborhood. Analyzing Understanding Society data, they found support for H1 - ethnic minorities reported lower life satisfaction even after controlling for individual and neighborhood characteristics. They found weak support for H2 - ethnic minorities were happier in more co-ethnic neighborhoods, though results varied between generations. The researchers concluded that feelings of being an outsider negatively impact minorities' well-being,
This document discusses ethnicity and life chances in the UK related to health and education. It provides demographic data on ethnic groups in the UK from the 2011 census. Statistics show some ethnic minorities report poorer health, lower educational attainment, and higher rates of imprisonment. Explanations proposed for these disparities include cultural factors like diet and exercise habits, as well as material factors like poverty, racism, and lack of access to healthcare. The social constructionist view also suggests illness experiences are shaped by both culture and individual personality.

Status and Trends in the Education of Racial and Ethnic GroupsJamie Asaka
The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) developed this report regarding the education progress and growth of students in the U.S. based on race and ethnicity. While the study does highlight key indicators in terms of growth based on environmental differences, there are clear discrepancies within race and ethnicity which varies the rate of progress.
The face of Britain has changed. Among the heroes of Britain’s 2012 Olympic triumph were a Somali immigrant and a mixed-race girl fromYorkshire. Mo Farah and Jessica Ennis captured the spirit of the nation and came to represent Britain’s incredible diversity. Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) people now make up a significant and fast-growing part of the population. However, understanding of these communities has not kept up with their rising importance.
From a political perspective, few attempts have been made to properly understand Britain’s minority communities and there is a tendency in the media to assume that all BME communities can be treated as a single political entity – as if all ethnic minorities held similar views and lived similar lives.
This document provides a portrait of Britain's modern ethnic minority populations based on extensive data analysis. It finds that ethnic minorities now represent 14% of the UK population and are highly concentrated in large cities. The five largest groups are Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Black African and Black Caribbean. While having distinct characteristics, most minorities identify strongly with British culture and citizenship. The report aims to build understanding of Britain's increasingly diverse population through detailed demographic profiles and first-hand perspectives.
Synthesis Report 3 Ethnic groups and foods in EuropeThink Ethnic
This document summarizes the size and composition of ethnic groups in several European countries based on data from national statistics organizations. It finds that immigrants and their descendants make up significant portions of the population in countries like Belgium (8.3%), Denmark (8.5%), and France (23%). The largest ethnic groups vary by country but include people from Morocco, Turkey, and the Democratic Republic of Congo in Belgium; Turkey, Iraq, and Lebanon in Denmark; and North Africa, Southern Europe, and Asia in France. Israel has a diverse Jewish population with over 40% born in Europe/America and the rest born in Asia, Africa, and Israel.
Pakistan Mapping Exercise - Final reportThink Ethnic
This document summarizes the findings of a mapping exercise conducted by IOM to identify information channels and characteristics of the Pakistani diaspora community in the UK. The mapping identified Urdu and Punjabi newspapers, radio stations like Sunrise and Apni Awaz, and TV channels like GEO and ARY as most used media. Surveys found that over 50% access internet and 64 watch TV daily. Community organizations and religious venues like mosques are also important information sources. The mapping will help IOM improve outreach to this community regarding voluntary return programs.
ABSTRACT : The United States is considered a nation built by immigrants. This has had multiple influences on its cultural and linguistic shaping. Various groups and communities have contributed their languages, cultures, and beliefs. Societal norms, legislations, educational systems and reforms have been enacted that ultimately shaped the current educational system. Historically, this process has not always been fair to minority groups, resulting in prejudistic views and legislation against certain groups. The historical view presented in this article examines cultural and linguistic diversity in the U.S., common perceptions of immigrants, history of assessments and policies affecting culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) populations, legislation affecting CLD populations, and how they influenced the educational system.

This document summarizes a research project examining public service announcements produced by the BBC World Service Trust in Ethiopia from 2006-2007. The project aimed to promote sexual health among Ethiopian youth using radio programs. The research investigated production methods and the application of Western advertising techniques in a developing country context. Interviews were conducted with project staff and focus groups discussed reactions to different radio spots. The responses suggested the messages were generally clear but some content may have been seen as offensive. Overall reception of the radio programs was mixed due to the politicized environment and distrust of state-run radio.
This document provides demographic information about Black, Asian, and minority ethnic (BAME) women in the UK. Some key points:
- BAME women make up 9% of the UK population and 12.4% of the working age population. They are concentrated in London, the West Midlands, and Yorkshire.
- Employment rates for BAME women are lower than for white women, especially for Pakistani and Bangladeshi women. Unemployment and inactivity rates are higher for BAME women.
- Ethnic minorities, including BAME women, perform well educationally. However, they remain underrepresented at top universities like Oxford and Cambridge and in top positions in government, law, and business.
Gali Halevi - Clarivate
Evidence shows that women in academia are more likely to publish sole-authored papers than men and our findings add the additional insight that this occurs predominantly early in a woman’s career. There are several possible explanations. Earlier in their careers, women often seek tenure, and sole-authored publications are very important for promotion. Moreover, younger women may also have young children: family obligations can impede collaboration or travel. Women have been shown to have smaller networks than male counterparts, and this may reduce possible partnership opportunities. Further, collaboration can result in second or third authorship, which would reduce the impact of women’s contribution; women may be unwilling to receive less credit. Other reasons may be discrimination and bias, but these are less likely than the reasons suggested above.

Ramadan travel report by master card crescent 2016Think Ethnic
The Muslim travel market is one of the fastest growing segments in the global travel industry. According
to the MasterCard-CrescentRating Global Muslim Travel Index (GMTI) 2016, there were 117 million
Muslim international travelers globally in 2015. Driven by a rapid population growth of Muslims, a
growing middle class and younger population, this number is projected to grow to 168 million by 2020.
The travel expenditure by this segment is expected to exceed USD 200 billion by 2020. This growth has
been facilitated by an increase in ease of access to travel information and the availability of
Muslim-friendly travel services and facilities at more destinations.

- Non-traditional viewing, such as via video on demand services, increased and now accounts for 30% of audio-visual content viewing.
Ethnic Minority Businesses and Access to FinanceThink Ethnic
This document discusses barriers to accessing finance faced by ethnic minority businesses in the UK. It summarizes the current state of knowledge on the topic based on academic research and discussions with stakeholders. While there is no evidence of direct racial discrimination by banks, ethnic minority groups like Black African, Black Caribbean, Bangladeshi and Pakistani businesses appear to have more loan rejections than other groups. This could be due to factors like lack of collateral, poor credit histories, and language barriers rather than direct discrimination. The document outlines actions being taken by the government, banks, and others to improve access to finance for ethnic minority businesses through initiatives like research, mentorship programs, and increased transparency of lending data.

This document discusses ethnic marketing. It begins with an introduction and definition of ethnic marketing as targeting specific ethnic groups to satisfy their needs. It then provides reasons for ethnic marketing, including new opportunities in competitive markets, the size and buying power of ethnic populations in the US, their breakdown and concentration in certain areas, and their willingness to buy. It outlines techniques for ethnic marketing such as targeting, use of media, visibility at community events, and contact with associations. It then provides Heineken as an illustration, discussing how they launched an ad campaign with Jay-Z to target the urban lifestyle and African American market.

Audience Construction: Race, Ethnicity and Segmentation in Popular MediaThink Ethnic
This document summarizes Oscar H. Gandy Jr.'s paper on audience construction with regards to race, ethnicity, and segmentation in popular media. It discusses four main perspectives on how audiences are constructed: as publics, markets, commodities, and victims. Segmenting audiences based on attributes like race and ethnicity is a social practice that both reflects and reinforces group definitions and boundaries over time. While segmentation is usually explored from the perspective of powerful actors, individuals also recognize themselves in these constructed segments.
Finding Your Audience Through Market SegmentationThink Ethnic
This document discusses market segmentation and identifying target audiences. It defines market segmentation as dividing the overall population into subgroups that have common needs, and selecting which subgroups to target with marketing efforts. Conducting market research to understand audience segments allows organizations to better tailor their messaging, products and services to attract those most likely to value what they offer. The document provides guidance on how to define audience segments through identifying their demographic characteristics, interests, behaviors, values and psychological traits in order to develop rich portraits that inform targeted marketing strategies.

Feedback found the tool was useful for career guidance, especially among under-25s, though recruitment staff in advertising agencies could make better use of the assessment.
Ethnic Minorities: At the forefront of digital communications in the UK - Ofc...Think Ethnic
Ethnic minorities are leading adopters of new digital media in the UK. They are younger, more likely to use cable/satellite TV, and subscribe to multiple digital services. However, they also express higher concerns about offensive or poor quality content across TV, radio, and the internet. Their main concern regarding mobile phones is affordability. In general, ethnic minorities are more active users of digital media but less confident in their ability to find online content.

A Creative Block? The Future of the UK Creative IndustriesThink Ethnic
The document provides an overview of the future of the UK creative industries. It begins by reviewing the 2007 report "Staying Ahead", which celebrated the success of the UK creative industries but also identified some underlying vulnerabilities. Since its publication, the recession and trends like convergence, digitalization, and international competition have impacted the industry. The report examines these changes and their implications. It argues the UK creative industries still have growth potential but face challenges from global trends and competition that require a policy response to ensure they can continue contributing to the UK's economic recovery and future growth. The conceptual tools from "Staying Ahead" still provide value but require some revisions to fully capture today's context.
The document provides an overview and analysis of the luxury car market, focusing on specific models from Aston Martin, Bentley, Ferrari, Porsche, and Rolls-Royce. It examines current asking prices, trade values, average mileage and costs of ownership for various years and trims. Key points discussed include which colors and optional features appeal most to buyers or hurt resale value. The author also notes new demand for the Aston Martin DB9 has declined and it could benefit from a redesign.
This document summarizes a longer document about factors that influence human behavior and how understanding these factors can help develop effective communications strategies. It discusses three levels of factors - personal, social, and environmental - that influence behavior according to social psychology models. Personal factors include knowledge, attitudes, habits, and self-efficacy. Social factors include social norms, social support and identity. The document also provides an overview of behavioral economics principles and theories of behavior change. It emphasizes the importance of understanding how multiple factors at all levels can influence a behavior when developing communications to change behaviors.
The rise of inconspicuous consumption challenges traditional notions of branding and luxury goods. Where conspicuous displays of wealth and status were once the norm, consumers increasingly prefer subtle, understated displays. This reflects trends like rising income inequality, globalization, and urban anonymity, which diminish the ability of luxury goods to clearly signal status. Evidence from the US, China, and elsewhere shows a shift from overt to more inconspicuous signaling among high-income groups, with implications for how brands market luxury without conspicuous logos or branding.

A separate survey of leading journalists and editors suggests that the latest new recruits
to the national news media are even more likely to come from privileged backgrounds
than those from previous generations. Reasons for this range from: low pay and
insecurity at junior levels; the high costs of living in London; the increasing costs of
postgraduate courses; a bias towards those with family or personal connections within
the industry amid a largely informal but highly competitive recruitment process;
and finally, the stronger skills and attributes exhibited at an earlier age by those
from private schools.
