The document discusses race, ethnicity, and prejudice. It defines race as referring to perceived biological characteristics, while ethnicity emphasizes cultural traits and identity. While race was historically thought to be biological, it is now widely recognized as a social construct. Ethnic groups share cultural heritage and identity. Prejudice involves biased beliefs about groups and can take the form of racism, stereotypes, and discrimination. Theories of prejudice include scapegoating frustrated groups, authoritarian personalities seeking inferior targets, culturally embedded prejudice, and the powerful using prejudice to divide and oppress others.
Racial discrimination persists in the United States in the justice system and education. In the justice system, African Americans face discrimination through racial profiling and stereotyping as violent criminals. In education, racial discrimination creates unequal classrooms and disparities in life outcomes for minorities. While laws have sought to reduce discrimination, it remains tolerated through unconscious biases and is a challenge to overcome.
Race is a social construct used to categorize and distinguish groups, often based on physical attributes like skin color. An ethnic group shares cultural traditions rather than physical attributes. Both race and ethnicity strongly impact people's lives and opportunities through discrimination and unequal treatment. While discrimination exists in many areas like sports, the U.S. population is becoming more racially and ethnically diverse with increasing populations of racial minorities. This demographic shift may impact future racial and ethnic relations.
Discrimination can take many forms including discrimination by social class, skin color, religion, age, national origin, and species. Social class discrimination is based on one's resources and social standing. Skin color discrimination treats people differently based on their color and can be seen within racial and ethnic groups. Religious discrimination involves treating people unequally due to their religious beliefs and customs. Age discrimination impacts both the young and old. National origin discrimination includes treating people unfairly based on their ethnicity, accent, or perceived background. Discrimination by species is wrong as it implies some groups like animals do not deserve equal consideration just because they are a different species, but all who live on Earth have equal rights.
The document discusses diversity and perceptions of race in several cultures. It notes that in Japan, the dominant racial group sees themselves as pure-blooded Japanese and discriminates against minority groups like the Burakumin. In Brazil, race is seen as more fluid, with over 500 racial labels and the ability for one's classification to change. The document also examines ethnic groups and national identities in Nepal, the concept of diasporas and nations as imagined communities, and roots of ethnic conflict including prejudice, discrimination, and colonialism.
The document discusses the concepts of race, racism, and their relevance in society. It notes that race is a social construct without biological validity, but racial categories are still used to justify social stratification and oppression. Racism refers to discrimination based on the belief that one race is superior. It exists at the individual, institutional, and everyday levels, and has historically manifested in Australia through the dispossession of Indigenous peoples and the White Australia Policy.
This document provides working definitions and conceptual issues around the terms ethnicity, race, and nationality. It discusses ethnicity as referring to a culturally distinctive group that may overlap with a political group. Race is defined as a socio-culturally constructed category based on shared physical characteristics. Nationality refers to a political community with symbolic boundaries rooted in a common ethnicity, identity, and culture. The document also examines how these terms are used and defined for census and government statistics.
Here are 3 potential classroom activities that could reflect Ibrahim's pedagogical philosophy:
1. Have students do research projects on influential figures from marginalized communities and present their findings to the class. This elevates voices that are often excluded.
2. Incorporate texts, music, films etc. from diverse cultures and communities into lesson plans to expose students to a variety of perspectives.
3. Facilitate open discussions where students are encouraged to respectfully share their own cultural experiences and backgrounds. This values multiple identities and ways of communicating.
Ibrahim is pointing out that the assumed "norm" in schools often reflects the dominant white culture and experience by default. As teachers, we need to be conscious

The Fascinating World of Bats: Unveiling the Secrets of the Night
Bats, the mysterious creatures of the night, have long been a source of fascination and fear for humans. With their eerie squeaks and fluttering wings, they have captured our imagination and sparked our curiosity. Yet, beyond the myths and legends, bats are fascinating creatures that play a vital role in our ecosystem.
There are over 1,300 species of bats, ranging from the tiny Kitti's hog-nosed bat to the majestic flying foxes. These winged mammals are found in almost every corner of the globe, from the scorching deserts to the lush rainforests. Their diversity is a testament to their adaptability and resilience.
Bats are insectivores, feeding on a vast array of insects, from mosquitoes to beetles. A single bat can consume up to 1,200 insects in an hour, making them a crucial part of our pest control system. By preying on insects that damage crops, bats save the agricultural industry billions of dollars each year.
But bats are not just useful; they are also fascinating creatures. Their ability to fly in complete darkness, using echolocation to navigate and hunt, is a remarkable feat of evolution. They are also social animals, living in colonies and communicating with each other through a complex system of calls and body language.
Despite their importance, bats face numerous threats, from habitat destruction to climate change. Many species are endangered, and conservation efforts are necessary to protect these magnificent creatures.
In conclusion, bats are more than just creatures of the night; they are a vital part of our ecosystem, playing a crucial role in maintaining the balance of nature. By learning more about these fascinating animals, we can appreciate their importance and work to protect them for generations to come. So, let us embrace the beauty and mystery of bats, and celebrate their unique place in our world.

How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

3. The word ethnicity is derived from Greek word “ethnos and nos” means nation.
It is socially defined category of people. It is based on actual, perceived and cultural
similarities. For example : according to 2007 census of USA, the percentage of whites is
66%. ( Hitler said that Arians are pure blood but if we discuss it now we can say that
he was talking about this specific ethnic group called Arians who hated Jews).
These ethnic groups are identified with each other. For example Hispanic is an ethnic
group which is divided on the basis of language, it includes black, white and brown
race. (In Pakistan, a person living in Punjab will say that he is Punjabi, so its called as
ethnicity. Another example includes you went to foreign country and there you meet a
fellow Pathan then he will say that he met a Pakistani so it’s called ethnicity. )
Ethnicity is grounded in society, culture, since culture include language, religion ,
literature and so on and ancestors, national experience.
4. There are three popular group on which we base that we are same :
Biological: lets say that our facial features are same i.e. common genetic
descent, for example blacks have change facial features then whites (Pathans
have different facial features than Sindhis). In this sense ethnicity can be
treated as race as well.
Cultural: Hispanics, for example, may move through levels of culture and
"Hispanic" is an ethnic category based mainly on language. It includes whites,
blacks, and "racially. Another example; lets say that people from different
areas of Waziristan settled in Peshawar, they are considered same due to their
same ethnic group and will be collectively called as Pathans.
Psychological: Awareness among the members of a group regarding their
similarities to each other. For example, our consciousness says that we are
same, we do not have same cultures but we are same and call as Pakistani.
Same language Urdu, same food , same history.
5. Members of an ethnic group share certain beliefs, values, habits, customs,
and norms because of their common background.
Ethno- racial
Ethno-religious
Ethno-linguistics
Ethno-national
Ethno-regional group
6. Social scientists define status as various occupation a
PERSON OCCUPY IN A SOCIETY.
TYPES OF STATUS
There are two types of status
i. Ascribed status-accorded to individual without any
efforts
ii. Achieved status-achieved on personal achievements i.e.
wealth level.
STATUS SHIFT:
Some statuses aren't mutually exclusive, but contextual.
People can be both black and Hispanic, or both a mother
and a senator : One identity is used in certain settings,
another in different ones.
Many Americans (especially those fluent in English) claim
Hispanic ethnicity in some contexts but shift to a general
"American" identity in other
7. When an ethnic group is assumed to have a biological basis (distinctively
shared "blood" or genes), it is called a Races.
Races are solely biological, no relevance to social science”. (Milton Yinger). For
example, believe that their population includes biologically based races to
which various labels have been applied. These labels include "white," 'black,“
"yellow," "red," Negroid," "Mongoloid," "Amerindian," "Euro American,"
"African American," "Asian American," and Native American.
RACISM:
Discrimination against such a group is called racism.
Racism is as a system of stratification that is loaded with both prejudice and
discrimination based in social perceptions of observable biological differences
between peoples.
8. Races are ethnic groups assumed (by members of a particular culture) to
have a biological basis, but actually race is socially constructed. The "races" we
hear about every day are cultural, or social, rather than biological categories.
HYPODESCENT: RACE IN THE UNITED STATES:
Take the case of the child of a "racially mixed" marriage involving one
black and one white parent. We know that 50 percent of the child's genes come
from one parent and 50 percent from the other. Still, American culture overlooks
heredity and classifies this child as black. In some states, anyone known to have
any black ancestor, no matter how remote, is classified as a member of the black
race. This is a rule of descent (it assigns social identity on the basis of ancestry),
but of a sort that is rare outside the contemporary United States. It is called
hypodescent. Hypodescent divides American society into groups that have been
unequal in their access to wealth, power, and prestige. Case of Susie Guillory
Phipps.
9. American culture ignores considerable variety in biology, language, and geographic
origin as it socially constructs race in the United States. North Americans also overlook variety
by seeing Japan as a nation that is homogeneous in race, ethnicity, language, and culture, an
image the Japanese themselves support.
In 1986 former Prime Minister Nakasone created an international controversy by conflicting his
country’s supposed similarity with the ethnically mixed United States.
To define racial attitudes in Japan, Jennifer Robertson (1992) uses the term “intrinsic racism”,
the belief that a racial difference is a sufficient reason to value one person less than another. In
Japan the valued group is majority (“pure”) Japanese, who are believed to share “the same
blood.”
Thus, the caption to a printed photo of a Japanese American model reads: “She was born in
Japan but raised in Hawaii. Her nationality is American but no foreign blood flows in her
veins”.
Something like hypo descent also operates in Japan, but less exactly than in the United
States, where mixed offspring automatically become members of the minority group. The
children of mixed marriages between majority Japanese and others (including Euro-
Americans) may not get the same “racial” label as their minority parent, but they are still
marked out for their non-Japanese ancestry.
10. The (majority) Japanese define themselves by opposition to others, whether minority
groups in their own nation or outsiders, anyone who is “not us.” The “not us” should stay that
way; adjustment generally is discouraged. Cultural mechanisms, especially residential
separation and bans on “interracial” marriage, work to keep minorities “in their place.”
In its construction of race, Japanese culture regards certain ethnic groups as having a
biological basis, when there is no evidence that they do. The best example is the burakumin, a
stigmatized group of at least 4 million outcasts, sometimes compared to India’s untouchables.
The burakumin are physically and genetically indistinguishable from other Japanese. Many of
them “pass” (and marry) as majority Japanese, but a dishonest marriage can end in divorce if
burakumin identity is discovered.
11. Burakumin are perceived as standing apart from majority Japanese. Through ancestry,
descent (and thus, it is assumed, “blood,” or genetics) burakumin are “not us.” Majority Japanese
try to keep their lineage pure by discouraging mixing. The burakumin are residentially isolated
in neighborhoods (rural or urban) called buraku, from which the racial label is derived.
Compared with majority Japanese, the burakumin are less likely to attend high school and
college. When burakumin attend the same schools as majority Japanese, they face
discrimination. Majority children and teachers may refuse to eat with them because burakumin
are considered unclean.
Like blacks in the United States, the burakumin are class-graded. Because certain jobs
are reserved for the burakumin, people who are successful in those occupations (e.g., shoe factory
owners) can be wealthy. Burakumin also have found jobs as government bureaucrats. Financially
successful burakumin can temporarily escape their defamed status by travel, including foreign
travel.
12. There are more flexible, less exclusionary ways of constructing social race than
those used in the United States and Japan. Along with the rest of Latin America, Brazil
has less exclusionary categories, which permit individuals to change their racial
classification. Brazil shares a history of slavery with the United States, but it lacks the
hypo descent rule. Nor does Brazil have racial hatred of the class found in Japan.
The system Brazilians use to construct social race has other special features. In the
United States, one’s race is an qualified status; it is assigned automatically by hypo
descent and usually doesn’t change. In Brazil racial identity is more flexible, more of
an achieved status. Brazilian racial classification pays attention to phenotype.
As physical characteristics change (sunlight alters skin color, humidity affects hair
form), so do racial terms. Furthermore, racial differences may be so insignificant in
structuring community life that people may forget the terms they have applied to
others. Sometimes they even forget the ones they’ve used for themselves.
13. The American and Japanese racial systems are creations of particular cultures, rather than
scientific, or even accurate, descriptions of human biological differences. Brazilian racial
classification also is a cultural construction, but Brazilians have developed a way of describing
human biological diversity that is more detailed, fluid, and flexible than the systems used in most
cultures.
Brazil lacks Japan’s racial hatred, and it also lacks a rule of origin like that which ascribes racial
status in the United States.
For centuries the United States and Brazil have had mixed populations, with ancestors from
Native America, Europe, Africa, and Asia. Although races have mixed in both countries, Brazilian
and American cultures have constructed the results differently. The historical reasons for this
contrast lie mainly in the different characteristics of the settlers of the two countries. The mainly
English early settlers of the United States came as women, men, and families, but Brazil’s
Portuguese colonizers were mainly men— merchants and adventurers.
Many of these Portuguese men married Native American women and recognized their racially
mixed children as their heritors. Like their North American colleagues, Brazilian plantation
owners had sexual relations with their slaves. But the Brazilian landlords more often freed the
children that resulted—for demographic and economic reasons. (Sometimes these were their only
children.)
14. The term nation once was synonymous with tribe or ethnic group. All
three of these terms have been used to refer to a single culture sharing a single
language, religion, history, territory, ancestry, and kinship. Thus, one could
speak interchangeably of the Seneca nation (American Indian), tribe, or ethnic
group. Now nation has come to mean state, an independent, centrally organized
political unit, or a government.
Nation and state have become synonymous. Combined in nation-state they
refer to an autonomous political entity, a country, like the United States, “one
nation, indivisible”
15. Ethnic groups that once had, or wish to have or regain, autonomous
political status (their own country) are called nationalities. In the words of
Benedict Anderson (1991), they are “imagined communities.” Even when they
become nation-states, they remain imagined communities because most of
their members, though feeling comradeship, will never meet. They can only
imagine they all participate in the same unit.
Anderson traces Western European nationalism, which arose in imperial
powers such as England, France, and Spain, back to the 18th century. He
stresses that language and print played a crucial role in the growth of
European national consciousness. The novel and the newspaper were “two
forms of imagining” communities (consisting of all the people who read the
same sources and thus witnessed the same events) that bloomed in the 18th
century.
16. In creating multitribal and multiethnic states, colonialism often
erected boundaries that corresponded poorly with pre-existing cultural
divisions. But colonial institutions also helped created new “imagined
communities” beyond nations.
A good example is the idea of Négritude (“Black identity”) developed by
African intellectuals in Francophone (French-speaking) West Africa.
17. Ethnic diversity may be associated with positive group interaction and
coexistence or with conflict (discussed shortly). There are nation-states in which
multiple cultural groups live together in reasonable harmony, including some
less developed countries.
Assimilation
The Plural Society
Multiculturalism and Ethnic Identity
18. Assimilation describes the process of change that a minority ethnic group may
experience when it moves to a country where another culture dominates. By
assimilating, the minority adopts the patterns and norms of its host culture. It is
incorporated into the dominant culture to the point that it no longer exists as a separate
cultural unit.
Some countries, such as Brazil, are more assimilationist than others. Germans, Italians,
Japanese, Middle Easterners, and East Europeans started migrating to Brazil late in
the 19th century.
19. Assimilation isn’t inevitable, and there can be ethnic harmony without it. Ethnic
distinctions can persist despite generations of interethnic contact.
CASE STUDY OF ETHNIC GROUPS :
A case study of three ethnic groups in Swat, Pakistan, Fredrik Barth (19581968)
challenged an old idea that interaction always leads to assimilation. He showed that
ethnic groups can be in contact for generations without assimilating and can live in
peaceful coexistence.
20. Barth (1958/1968) defines plural society (an idea he extended from
Pakistan to the entire Middle East) as a society combining ethnic contrasts,
ecological specialization (i.e., use of different environmental resources by each
ethnic group), and the economic interdependence of those groups. Consider his
description of the Middle East (in the 1950s): “The ‘environment’ of any one
ethnic group is not only defined by natural conditions, but also by the presence
and activities of the other ethnic groups on which it depends. Each group
exploits only part of the total environment, and leaves large parts of it open for
other groups to exploit.”
21. The view of cultural diversity in a country as something good and desirable is called
multiculturalism.
The multicultural model is the opposite of the assimilationist model, in which
minorities are expected to abandon their cultural traditions and values, replacing
them with those of the majority population. The multicultural view encourages the
practice of cultural–ethnic traditions. A multicultural society socializes individuals not
only into the dominant (national) culture but also into an ethnic culture. Thus in the
United States millions of people speak both English and another language, eat both
“American” (apple pie, hamburgers) and “ethnic” foods, and celebrate both national
and ethnic–religious holidays.
22. Ethnicity, centered on perceived cultural similarities and differences in a society or nation,
can be expressed in peaceful multiculturalism or in discrimination or violent Interethnic
confrontation
Roots of ethnic differentiation can be political, economic, religious, linguistic, cultural, or
racial Ethnic differences often lead to conflict and violence sense of injustice because of
resource distribution, economic or political competition, and reaction to discrimination,
prejudice, and other expressions of devalued identity
In Iraq, under the dictator Saddam Hussein, discrimination by Sunnis against Shiites and
Kurds. Sunnis enjoyed privileged of power, prestige, and position. After 2005 elections,
which Sunnis chose to boycott, Shiites gained political control. A civil war arose out of
“sectarian violence” among sects of the same religion as Sunnis fueled insurgency against
the new government .Shiites retaliated against Sunni attacks and a history of Sunni
privilege and perceived discrimination against Shiites, as Shiite militias engaged in ethnic
cleansing of their own.
23. Ethnic conflict often arises in reaction to Prejudice
(attitudes, and judgments) or Discrimination (action).
PREJUDICE:
Defines as devaluing (looking down on) a group because of
its assumed behavior, values, capabilities, or attributes.
Prejudiced people assume that members of the group will act as
they are “supposed to act”(stereotype) and interpret a wide range
of individual behaviors as evidence of the stereotype. They use
this behavior to confirm their stereotype (and low opinion) of the
group.
Stereotypes are fixed ideas that are often unfavorable about
what the members of a group are like.
24. It refers to policies and practices that harm a group and its members.
Discrimination may be De facto -practiced, but not legally sanctioned or De
jure-part of the law.
Example of de facto is the discrimination is the harsher treatment that
American minorities (compared with other Americans) tend to get from the
police and the judicial system. This unequal treatment isn’t legal, but it
happens anyway. Segregation in the southern United States and apartheid
in South Africa provide two examples of de jure discrimination, which no
longer are in existence. In both systems, by law, blacks and whites had
different rights and privileges. Their social interaction was legally
curtailed.
25. The multiculturalism is progressively more prominent in North America but ethnic
competition and conflict also are obvious. Conflict between Central Americans and Koreans,
and ethnic groups i.e. African Americans.
Ethnic antagonism flared in South-Central Los Angeles in spring 1992 in rioting that
followed the acquittal of four white police officers who were tried for the videotaped
beating of Rodney King. This violence expressed the frustration by African Americans
about their prospects in an multicultural society. Blacks attacked whites, Koreans, and
Latinos. Korean stores were hard hit during the 1992 riots, more than third of the
businesses were. destroyed Koreans interviewed on ABC’s Nightline on May 6, 1992, said
that blacks resented them and considered them unfriendly. One man explained, “It’s not
part of our culture to smile.” African Americans interviewed on the same show complained
about Korean unfriendliness “They come into our neighborhoods and treat us like dirt.”
Ethnic groups expect other ethnic groups in the same nation-state to assimilate to some
extent to a shared (national) culture. The African Americans’ comments invoked a general
American value system that includes friendliness, openness, mutual respect, community
participation, and “fair play.” Los Angeles blacks wanted their Korean neighbors to act
more like generalized Americans and good neighbors.
26. Ethnic conflicts are forms of discrimination as genocide,
forced assimilation, ethnocide, and cultural colonialism.
The most extreme form of ethnic discrimination is Genocide, the
deliberate elimination of a group such as Jews in Nazi Germany,
Muslims in Bosnia, or Tutsi in Rwanda through mass murder. A
dominant group may try to destroy the cultures of certain ethnic
groups (ethnocide) or force them to adopt the dominant culture
(forced assimilation)
Example of Forced Assimilation is the anti-Basque campaign
that the dictator Francisco Franco (who ruled between 1939 and
1975) waged in Spain. Franco banned Basque books, journals,
newspapers, signs, sermons, and tombstones and imposed fines
for using the Basque language in schools .His policies led to the
formation of a Basque Terrorist Group and spurred strong
nationalist sentiment in the Basque region .
27. Ethnic expulsion aims at removing groups who are culturally different
from a country.
Examples, including Bosnia-Herzegovina in the1990s. Uganda expelled
74,000 Asians in 1972. The neo-fascist parties of contemporary Western
Europe advocate repatriation (expulsion) of immigrant workers (West
Indians in England, Algerians in France, and Turks in Germany). A policy of
expulsion may create refugees—people who have been forced (involuntary
refugees) or who have chosen (voluntary refugees) to flee a country, to escape
persecution or war.
In many countries, colonial nation-building left ethnic strife. Over a million
Hindus and Muslims were killed in the violence that accompanied the
division of the Indian subcontinent into India and Pakistan.
28. It refers to internal domination by one group and its culture or
ideology over others.
Example is the domination of former Soviet empire by Russian
people, language, and culture, and by communist ideology. The
dominant culture makes itself the official culture. It is reflected in
schools, media, and public interaction. Under Soviet. rule ethnic
minorities had very limited access in republics and regions that was
controlled by Moscow. All the republics and their peoples were to be
united by the oneness of “socialist internationalism.”
One common technique in cultural colonialism is to flood ethnic
areas with members of the dominant ethnic group. Thus, Soviet
Union, ethnic Russian colonists were sent to many areas, to
diminish the cohesion and clout of the locals. The Commonwealth of
Independent States (CIS), founded in 1991 and headquartered in
Minsk, Belarus, is what remains of the once-powerful Soviet Union .
In Russia and other formerly Soviet nations, ethnic groups
(nationalities) have sought, and continue to seek, to forge separate
and viable nation-states based on cultural boundaries.
29. In this book Mirror of Humanity by Conard Philip Kottak ,chapter eleven
of Ethnicity and Race , we have overcome and understood different perspectives
of Race, Ethos, Creed and Religion . Concisely concluded the chapter as Human
races that are cultural rather than biological categories. In the United States,
racial labels such as “white” and “black” designate socially constructed
categories which are demarcated by American culture. Racial attitudes in Japan
illustrates the intrinsic racism. Brazil shares a history of slavery with the
United States and lacks the hypo-descent rule.. Ethnicity can be expressed in
peaceful multiculturalism, or in discrimination or violent confrontation.
Examples of disputes, genocides ,Ethnic Expulsion, Cultural Colonialism,
ethnocide and forced assimilations makes us fathom the anthropological
dynamics of human history which are related to ethnicity and Race .
