The New Jim Crow: Racism and Social systems The United States has a history of profound caste system based on race. The racial segregation and classification of people are traced back to the slavery period in which the people of color taken in the transatlantic slave trade were treated as less of humans. In the era that followed, such as mass immigration from different parts of the world continued to reveal the racial challenge in the community. The legislative systems allowed citizenship based on the color of the skin, thus allowing people from various European countries to gain citizenship. In contrast, the brown and Asian people were denied fundamental human rights. The different periods and decisions made by the government express the intensive approach of racism in the significant sectors in the country. In the book titled The New Jim Crow, Michelle Alexander looks into the different ways in which the aspect of racism has been carried in the new generation. With reference to the segregation laws in the Jim Crow era, the author looks into the different ways in…

The theory of mercantilism International trade is a transactional exchange across territories or physical geographic boundaries of capital goods and services for profits. The purpose of international trade is to enable domestic production within a particular country to be sold in other markets other than its own (Viner, 2016). International trade is desired as it enables a country to grow its gross domestic product (GDP) (Thomas, 2019). Therefore, individual countries seek a bigger share and dominance in order to rapidly grow their GDP. However, international trade is complex to navigate and represented by complicated vested interests (Viner, 2016). Salient theorists have thus come up with theoretical frameworks to help counties to format a strategy of succeeding in international. This paper reviews the meaning and functionality of the theory of mercantilism in the context of international trade. The theory of mercantilism holds that the treasure of a country is directly proportional to its treasure. This treasure is usually held in terms of gold. The general functional principle of the theory of mercantilism is that the exports of a country should exceed…

Alien in one’s own land Introduction According to US Department of Homeland Security, 76% of immigrants in the US are in the country legally. The total percentage of first generation immigrants is more than 20%. There have been a lot of stereotyping immigrants in the US. We see them as the cause of all the problems we face today. We believe that the increase in rape cases, murder and all forms of crime are associated with them. This paper analyses reasons why these immigrants have been treated as aliens in their own country and solutions to this problem. Prejudice against immigrants We are all aliens in this country, whether born here or immigrated, but we all belong to this country. We are all citizens; that is the bottom line. Irrespective of someone’s origin, all human races should be treated with dignity. We have been fed by myths about immigrants with the aim of prejudicing them.

In The Last of the Siraya by Howard Goldblatt I believe ingenious people not only in Asia have, for centuries, faced land injustices and unlawful sentences from settlers who have always come disguised as helpers. Reading these articles has made me correlate with other materials that I have randomly come across the Indian in the United States. The IP continues to face injustices and challenges from accessing their ancestral lands and space, which have been classified as national government lands. However, I think that there the law has been formulated to lock the indigenous people (IP) out of the lands by assuming that their traditions are uncivilized and outdated. In The Last of the Siraya by Howard Goldblatt, we can see Yinhua, who comes from the indigenous community living in a settlement together with her MA (father) and NA (mother) with worries about meeting basic needs. However, the Japanese family where Second Young Master came from was well renown and possessed the land of the Siraya tribe, and in turn, they were taking rent from the people who are initially…

Gregor essay  Gregor, throughout Part 3, listens to his sister, Grete, playing violin for the three gentlemen boarders, and he “must aspire” to hear it a little. He is described by music as being much more fascinated than the three borders, and he wants her to come “with her violin in his room” and play for him instead of her. His reaction to music is a reminder of his affection for his sister and contrasts sharply with her response that showed him present. This relationship with his sister is the last bond to be broken and reveals his full and irreparable alienation from the family and the former human self. Earlier, Kafka writes in Part 2, that Gregor’s “dirty plan to send (his sister) to the conservatory” was always that he still liked what a “doubtful, articulate violinist” she was. However, she enjoyed more music than him. When Grete starts playing the violin in the living room, Gregor is upset. As the sound pulls him out of his room, “He was hardly surprised at his growing disregard for others; at…
