As according to Williams and Best cited in Lippa (2010), men are seen as naturally aggressive, arrogant, competitive, independent and unemotional compared to what people see in women as being affectionate, anxious, compassionate, dependent, emotional and sensitive. Considering the held nature of genders, the study would look into the extent of which characteristics of gender is more accepting and open when it comes to their relatives who are involved in interracial relationships.

From the study of Honeycutt et al. (2005), it was assumed that those with higher educational level would be more open to interracial relationships. This was supported by the study of Lewis, Wilson and Roberstson (2014) that people who have acquired higher education are likely to be supportive to the choice of partner of their family members regardless of race although their study found a weak result when it comes to the difference. In contrast, the study of Amoateng and Kalule-Sabiti (2014), results in their study showed that educational attainment has nothing to do with the levels of openness and acceptance of people towards interracial relationships, thus it depended on the kind of school setting whether the exposure to such is a positive factor that they could attribute to their perception of interracial relationships.

  • Summary Of The Risk Of Multiracial Identification By Naomi Riley

    925 Words  | 4 Pages

    In her essay, The Risks of Multiracial Identification, Naomi Riley argues that people are unlikely to be around people of distinct culture and color. Throughout the text, Riley fails to support her argument because she conflicts anecdotal evidence with statistical statements. She based her argument on an anecdotal evidence from a Harvard newspaper. She supports her claims based on an interview of a handful of college students who felt excluded from their student clubs, which does not necessarily imply that this is the case for every American college. The arguments that Riley makes by saying that people are unlikely to be around others from a distinct culture are disproven by the fact that more interracial marriages are occurring.

    The study concluded that White athletes who played on team sports with Black athletes expressed less prejudice than White athletes who competed in individual sports with Black athletes (Brown, Brown, Jackson, Sellers, and Manuel 2003). In a different view, another instance of the theory’s success was a study conducted that assuaged the predisposition directed toward homosexuals. In the application of the Intergroup Contact Theory to heterosexuals and homosexuals, college students who reported amiable exchanges with a homosexual were likely to generalize from that experience and approve of homosexuals as a group (Herek, 1987). Furthermore, a national study of socially interactive contact and heterosexuals' thoughts concerning gay men revealed that increased contact "predicted attitudes toward gay men better than did any other demographic or social psychological variable” (Herek and Glunt's 1993). The variables were sexual orientation, geographic residence, educational background, religious affiliation, marital status, ethnicity, political beliefs, age, and quantity of

    If you were to look at a single culture, you would probably find so many differences between this culture and the one you consider yourself to be. Now if you consider that group only, and look at the individuals within it, would you find similarities across the board or would you find variation between people? The odds are that you would not find similarities across the board due to many different reasons. In order to illustrate this we will look at individuals within the African American culture as well as the culture in general to see if they are similar or if they are completely off based.

In his lecture, we learned that many people believe that race is something biological. However, the true reality is that race is a social construct and not a biological one. For example, in the documentary Race: The Power of An Illusion, we were able to understand that there are more variations among people in the same “race” than with people from another “race.” However, physical differences, for example, the most obvious skin color, has created prejudices against minority groups.

  • Men And Women In Conversation Deborah Tannen Analysis

    However, the excerpt of her book lacks clarity, has multiple unfair biases, and is filled with many contradictions. The author completely neglects other social factors such as race, class, and ethnicity and their crucial interplay with gender, and treats gender and sex as unidimensional categories and the most significant features of human lives, even though they are not. The book exhibits poor transition between claims, and makes use of anecdotal material/ information to support these claims. Overall, there is a need for comprehensive research to be conducted in the field of cross-cultural communication. Such research should observe human conversation and be sensitive to social factors such as race, class, and ethnicity.
