Adam’s work is inherently comparable to Tabassum’s observation on the stigma among tattooed person in their career. The results propose stigmas associated with tattoos remain embedded in the context of culture, especially within career.

    The same is true for African American individuals in the work force. The workforce claims to give everyone a fair and equal hand, but often times African Americans are given the short end of the stick. This lack of opportunity leads me to question the structural conditions that have created cultural patterns that reinforce disadvantage. The structural issues of inequality in the workforce lead many individuals to have a stigma towards African American individuals. This stigma taint’s society’s view towards this group and allows them to make judgements on other aspects of their lives.

    When analyzing salvaging the self by Snow and Anderson, out of the three stigmas I associate myself with the Tribal stigma of race. When it comes to race the social norms of society are based on European characteristics as the standard or default in society. Sadly in our society individuals are mistreated based on their skin color or ethnic groups. If European characteristics are found to conflict with other races it is deemed a stigma by society unfortunately. As an African-American male I am stigmatized by Society.

As per the paradigms of this theory, the content and significance associated with racial categories are found to be determined in terms of political, social and economic forces.

    Discord is an artform. The effectiveness of language as a form of communication can either be vague or particular, but in regards to the efficacy of an argument, concise rhetorical methods and doctrinal rules tend to form the basis of legitimacy. There are many strategies to be taken into account regarding rhetorical methods and for every method there is a fallacy. However, a simple process of building a substantial argument is the employment of the three basic modes of persuasion: ethos, the appeal of ethics and credibility, logos, the appeal of logic, and pathos, the appeal of emotion or morality. In Amy Stretten’s article Appropriating Native American Imagery Honors No One but the Prejudiced, Stretten effectively uses pathos and ethos

  • Persuasive Essay On Tattoos In The Workplace

    Tattoos being shown in the workplace is an issue for some people, but a person has a right to self-expression and tattoos are becoming more commonly seen. There is no law that prohibits people with tattoos from being employed or hired; therefore, customers should think twice before judging the store employees by their physical appearance. An employee should be allowed to show tattoos because the tattoos have no effect on his or her work performance. Even though we can’t control others perceptions, I believe that we should try and encourage people to not judge others based on their physical appearance.
