Multicultural Issues

Throughout time diverse regions have considered other societies to be barbaric, causing them to have the desire of “civilizing” them. Likewise, During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the American nativist groups, possessed a similar perspective towards immigration. Nativist’s opposed immigration, as they believed that it would negatively impact the United States socially, morally, politically, and economically. Socially and morally, the nativists feared that foreigners were a threat to the American society, as they were culturally inferior, possessed many ailments, and committed crimes. Politically, the ethnocentric nativists believed that immigrants would corrupt the government and negatively influence American politics.

What I think these people fail to see is that religion is simply being used as a tool of oppression in these areas. Another thing which people are not able to realize that Islam is not the only religion that has been used to justify violence. The crusades was a war that was fought on the behalf of Christianity in a quest to reclaim Jerusalem from the Muslims. What this proves is that it is possible to convince someone to commit acts of violence if you tell them that it is God’s

Modern-day America can relate to the characters in The Crucible due to the hysteria that is always forming. America as a nation responds differently to different terrorist groups opposed to terrorist attacks. In both instances, they threaten our way of life similarly to how the idea of witchcraft had threatened the religious aspect of a Puritan’s life. For a terrorist group, negative images and emotions are received since it gives America the lack of security notion. This is opposed to a terrorist attack that will give American constituents a sense of nationalism and will come together with a stronger bond than before.

In historical manner, racialization in every generation has shaped their own identities with opposition and resistance and is a forever changing concept in viewpoints, conflicts, and redefinition. Third, voice against dominant opinions is an effective way to notice how the structures, processes, and practices continue to provide racial inequality. This makes the critical race theory effective for the narratives and stories from the viewpoints of those persecuted. It is a political expression of power relationships and minority perspectives challenge the account from dominant groups. Critical race theorists say the beliefs of master narratives are not objective but are chosen to be by others.

(20 pts.) Some of the barriers to effective multicultural counseling is the acculturation conflicts that individuals face as they come from different cultures and are suddenly exposed to cultural standards that are contrary to their culture background. For someone from a Haitian culture but who was born here, some of the barriers would be disciplining their children, because for the Haitian culture it would be acceptable to physically punish a child, where in the USA it would be seen as a negative behavior or even as a

If we cannot identify with anyone outside of our world, it becomes easier to abuse and oppress them because of a lack of love (seeing oneself in the ‘Other’). W.E.B. Dubois had a desire to see America interpreted through the acknowledgement of two very different worlds merging through African and White Americanism (McKenna & Pratt, 2015). Or as it were, racial barriers should be acknowledged and both sides study to merge and unify. The past should not be forgotten, but instead utilized to learn how to unite in acceptance. DuBois insisted this happen in order to counteract the influence of stereotypes on race where minorities are mired by their color (McKenna & Pratt, 2015).

Barbara Diefendorf's book, The Saint Bartholomew's Day Massacre is a window into the struggle of religion and secular power during the Protestant Reformation. Beyond the social elitism, mob mentality is an ever-present force that is ignited during the Religious Wars. Differences in religion are a contributor to factional tensions. Manipulation by religious leaders and misunderstanding between the two religious sects’ practices create this religious tension. Although Protestants and Catholics share the core teachings of Christianity, a struggle for secular power, feelings of tribalism, and conflicting religious ideals not only solidify the schism between these two sects of Christianity, but escalated these tensions to bloodshed.

By voting and adopting these laws, the majority of the society condemn then minorities by restricting their rights, and therefore engender more convicted offenders that are part of visible minorities. This racial profiling is not necessarily voluntary. It is caused by implicit bias, which means that multiple ‘‘social judgements’’ are made in an unconscious process that is racist and judgmental. It results in the harsher sentences often seen in courts (Lynch, 2013, p.100). Racial profiling is also due to the fact that differences can be seen as a threat.

The definition of multiculturalism is when you have cultural diversity within a society. Many people assume that having a multicultural society is a great thing, and in most ways it is. However, with a multicultural society, some problems will occur. In this essay I will debate whether or not a multicultural society is a good thing, and will be pointing out advantages and disadvantages.

There is a thin line that goes in between religious conflict and religious freedom, which has a job to separate these two from each other and this thin line can break easily. Like, too much freedom might make people stay outside the rule's box that and this can cause no awareness people. When people have no awareness they become weak and easy to control by other things surround them, which can cause violent. A lot of conflicts in the world had been thrown to religion fault such, as difference believes cause war.

Countless numbers of immigrants came over to the United States many generations ago, in order to pursue the “American Dream”. Mary C. Waters specializes in studying immigration and ethnic trends, and wanted to research how connected American citizens of foreign descent were to their ethnicity. In Waters’ writing, she talks about how she interviewed many third-generation Americans of European descent in order to determine how closely tied they were to their ancestors’ ethnicity in the late 20th century. Out of the two theories of integration, being the pluralist theory and the assimilationist theory, Waters takes a new middle-ground standpoint on something she calls “new ethnicity”. Waters concludes that with passing generations, American immigrants

Though a Christian nation, American’s practices and believes are not consistent to Bible’s laws and commandment. Douglass argues that “the existence of slavery in this country brands republicanism as a sham, humanity as a base pretence, and Christianity as lie” (35), meaning that America is a nation of “inconsistencies.” Though they call themselves Christians, their religion is nothing but a lie as they do not follow God’s commandment of piety, they are full of pride, insolence and vices. He further argues that the “national inconsistencies… saps the foundation of religion” since it “shelters crimes” (35) against humanity. However, he does do that to ridicule Americans, rather he does it to emphasize the inconsistence amongst American believes and practices.

Hershey states that realignment had happened amid the Fifth Party System by the New Deal Coalition of the less fortunate and minorities. (Hershey 2015, 134) The effect of the New Deal uplifted the contention between higher and lower salaried people and between huge businesses and labor. The New Deal realignment made Democratic majority to permit new approaches to be passed. These advantages particularly solidified loyalties of new voters ' especially northern blacks, union individuals, Catholics, Jews, mechanical laborers and poor ranchers.

Globalization is increased because the way the world changed and cultural relations between the United States and other countries who participated in the Cold War, contributed to globalization. During the post-Cold War, the US saw globalization as a strategic tool that could be used to open foreign markets and improve economic

These laws allow people to legally discriminate and cover it with the excuse that it violates a person’s beliefs. People are trying to use their religion, something the nation has long grown out of as a reason to justify their poor treatment of others. Even though people are facing modern issues with an immature approach, abuse of the RFRA laws approach the point where it can be used to take away a person’s equality because he or she is too different from most people. Eventually, this will begin to violate the Constitution because it will put the people who constantly abuse the law above the people they use it against. If this law is used excessively, there is a high chance that the nation will return to its dark period of discrimination and will jeopardize people’s equality.
