Fd2 Reflection

615 Words3 Pages

In the FD2 essays is where I had to do the most adjustments. Overall, I had a good central and sub claim, but I needed to fix my development, analysis, and organization. For the organization the professor said, “Need to connect concept of protesting to central claim.” I try to apply this feedback by trying to explain how the reaction that police has towards protest of blacks and whites is completely different. I explain how when whites protest the police just waited until the whole protest ease down, but when blacks protest police immediately use force and aggression to stop them. Also, I explained how this encounters are streamed life or recorded and the justice system sees the different treatments that police provide towards different race, but they do not do anything to or punish the officers.

I explain these revisions further in detail in my essays. Another comment that the professor gave me was, “Stick to one topic per paragraph. On page 4 also you begin to talk about media (Twitter, Facebook, etc.), but I don't see the connection to your central claim there.” My purpose for this paragraph was to explain how social media was the tool that brought to light all the injustices that police and the justice system had towards black Americans, but I did not explain it in a way that it would related to my central claim. Since it was so difficult for me to make this paragraph connect to my central claim, I decided to deleted and not talk about media at all in my essay. For this essay the peer reviews were also all positive and compliments towards my essay. I think that I could of gotten some suggestions to fix my essay, because I was not so confident submitting this essay how I was with the first

  • Summary Of Life In Prison By Reilly Santos

    2032 Words  | 9 Pages

    Santos talked about a race war and a riot that occurred one day and I related to the videos that we watched on the riots in prison. Seeing the videos in class and then reading as he described what happened really connects the class and the book well. I understand more on why riots occur and there are countless of reasons and I think race does play a huge role in that aspect. Being locked up everyday and being ordered around by guards is not something the inmates like and to see a rival gang in prison everyday, it can get tense. Also, talking about the inmate code we can really see how if you don’t follow it there will be punishment.

  • Franklin D Roosevelt Synthesis

    158 Words  | 1 Pages

    The student who wrote this essay had good, supporting pieces of evidence and made a strong use of transitions, However, the structure and flow of the essay was edgy and sometimes unclear, where random ideas that should have been mentioned in the thesis or the introduction paragraph, show up randomly in the middle of the essay. There were also a few times where the author wrote in the first person, which weakened the overall goal for the essay. The voice of the essay also was strong, but did not keep consistency. There is more emotion when talking about Roosevelt’s view of men and women then there is when the author talks about those of color. There were phrases such as “Probably Roosevelt is made to think . . .”

  • An Argument Against Racial Profiling By Police

    334 Words  | 2 Pages

    The truth is no one regardless of race deserves to be mistreated by the police. The reality is that citizens did not merely prefer to live in neighborhoods with poverty-stricken housing arrangements, underperforming schools, substructures that are collapsing by the minute, few grocery stores that provide healthy options, and proper medical care. There were many factors that shaped those neighborhoods such as white departure, the black breakout of wealthier black citizens, no investment within the community, slack business loaning systems and government strategies that are allocating groundwork and public transport to certain parts of cities and not others locations. The people that are living in those communities, even at times stuck in those communities make decisions that are not the best for them or those connected to them. These decisions are made within that environment for the sake of survival.

" I was so offended I did not know what to do, and his ways have caused me to be bitter towards him and, to be honest, I want nothing to do with him when he comes in the store. A class divided showed how blacks and other races feel when they are treated unfairly. When Mrs. Elliott asked her students to remove their collars that was a sign of them being equal again. What was also interesting was how the students scores dropped when they were on the bottom but raised when they were on top.

  • What Are The Effects Of Police Brutality To Minorities

    611 Words  | 3 Pages

    One of the main controversies about the police at this current time is police brutality to minorities and people of color. This has been occurring for many years but it has been specifically now a days brought up back into the view by the public when “brutality” against African Americans occur. Throughout these reasons years it has been put into view but you see more and more everyday. Relating this to history the police force was originally developed back in the day back when the Jim Crow Era was occurring and the police system was enforced by white males where people of color were no where to be seen within the system. What is occurring now is basically a repeat of history from back in the day.

    First, you did an excellent job with your essay. The format was easy to follow. However, I would suggest adding whether or not pathos and ethos are incorporated into the video “Drunk History: Claudette Colvin and Rosa Parks” in your first body paragraph. For example, Colvin and Parks being mistreated for not moving for a white passenger on the bus could represent pathos. Furthermore, I agree that logos is portrayed in this video through the organization and facts of the woman’s speech.

  • Police Brutality Unfair

    460 Words  | 2 Pages

    I want to make an argument that racially-motivated police brutality is unfair. Police brutality is a use of unjustified force that can cause serious injury or even death. When it comes to situations where an unarmed black man was killed by a police officer, it hits the news fast and people pay more attention. The racism that comes from police is a sign of oppression to specific groups. This needs to come to attention because instead of reacting with public riots, we as a society need to be more proactive about changing the racism of police brutality.

  • What Is Professionalism In Policing

    I would address the issue of professionalism that the police department lacks. The media’s agenda loves playing with topics such as police brutality, racism, and other symptoms like this, but the root issue is the lack of professionalism. The use of force to protect an officer’s life when he feels threatened is justified. Sometimes a white officer arrests a black criminal. There is nothing wrong with either of these situations or a combination of the two.

  • Importance Of Ignorance

    However as Ken Jensen said, “Students need to understand the context of the huge race riots of the early part of this century [being 1900’s].” This relating to what he later gave, “Between the years 1882 and 1951, 4,730 people were lynched in the United States: 3,437 African-Americans and 1,293 white Americans.” These facts surprise most, as it has been the stereotype that whites were the only racists and blacks the only oppressed, and it is true in some cases, as black were subject to slavery and oppression very openly, but what most people don’t realize is that oppression wasn’t only one-sided, and it’s our modern ignorance that has lead us to believe

  • Common Sense In Sociology

    In suggesting this method, I incorporated a firm belief in officers creating an increased ability to understand and engage with the diverse array of people that they are paid to serve and protect when a significant amount of knowledge and comprehension of cultural diversity is provided to them. Furthermore, I articulated that this approach would have a positive impact as it would reduce inequality within the criminal justice system and aid officers in their willingness to deliver justice to people from all walks of life. While the textbook did not confirm my approach was correct, I still feel as though a more thorough educational process would help to alleviate this specific social problem. In addition, this chapter did reaffirm my assumptions about many minority groups being subjected to institutionalized racism within the criminal justice system. This facet of the system was unveiled in the discussion on “carding” and the textbook provided a few answers to this problem, including a recount of the police board passed resolutions that manifested in April 2013.
