Challenges Facing Immigrants Trying to Attain Citizenship The article by James Angelo criticizes how developed countries, particularly the European nations, using the language barrier to inhibit foreigners and immigrants from acquiring the country’s citizenship through marriage. There are a number of ways through which a person is capable of acquiring citizenship status in a foreign country. For starters, one may become a citizen if they are born in the country; they desire to become a citizen. The other process includes becoming a citizen through the process of naturalization, where a person can become a citizen by living in the country for the number of years specified by the constitution. Lastly, a person can become a citizen in foreign through marriage. Apart from birth, marriage is the most common form of way of attaining citizenship in most of the foreign countries. Local citizens from a particular country marry foreigners who are later given their citizenship status. James Angelo’s article sheds light on this issue, especially in developed countries in Europe. I agree with Angelo’s assertion that the European countries have put…

Racial discrimination The current society has been divided into social groupings based on factors ranging from wealth, social status, and the color of the skin. The social constructs in the society have created aspects of the people that are in the superior and inferior positions. One aspect of the social construct in the community is based on race, where the white race has been considered superior to others. In the ancient western nations, the aspect of the white race being superior was successfully passed as the truth across the universe. Institutions of slavery and colonization allowed for the concept of race to be established further in the community, with the black people being considered lowest in the hierarchy. Even so, the biological researches by various experts have proven that race is not a genetic issue rather a social construct. Racial discrimination is defined as the concept of one race being regarded as better compared to others which are established through political and economic institutions thus leading to power based on the race while the inferior races are continually denied of…

Hispanic Discrimination in the Justice System Recently there is an increased perception of the Hispanic community receiving unfair and unequal treatment from the US Criminal Justice system.

The main reason being that they are looked down upon because they are not educated. Hispanic is a fast-growing population, but as the population grows, the number of Hispanics in jails has…

Racism, Prejudice, and Discrimination Racism can be viewed as beliefs of the superiority of one race or ethical group. Racism between different groups has been used to exercise inequality as the perpetrators believe that the differences between the groups are genetic. Prejudice, as the name suggests, is a prejudgment where an individual or a group has a negative idea about another individual or a group based on generalization or stereotypes. Prejudice is known to be a significant factor that leads to discrimination. Discrimination is unequal treatment of members of a social group. Therefore, racism, bigotry, and discrimination lead to unequal treatment of especially minority groups in society such as blacks.
