The Role of ethnicity in the creation/development of the American identity in contemporary America. The American society, in all identity facets, bears a very complex image. Indeed, more than 2 centuries after independence, it is grossly difficult to identify the aggregate American identity. Many residents living in the expansive nation have a hard time identifying with the overall societal values. Even when one is a permanent and duly registered citizen, they find themselves subscribing more to their origin ethnic sources rather than those of their home countries. Some do it by personal preference, others do it due to identity stagnation while others are forced to fall from American ideals by situational factors such as ethnic profiling, the attendant discrimination and even systematic ethnic based hostilities. Whereas the diverse populations in America should translate into productive ethnic diversity, the end results oscillate more towards differences rather than unity. Even the most fair of analyzers agree that contemporary America has a long way to go in creating an identifiable identity. Richard Rodriguez in his text The Chinese in All of Us, presents…

Cultural criminology Cultural criminology implies that deviance, transgression, and crime are repeatedly sub-cultural naturally. As a result, cultural criminologists usually concentrate on the concurrent forces of social exclusion and cultural inclusion whenever explaining deviant, transgressive, or criminal behavior (Frederick, 2013; p139). Indeed, this remains a particularly significant method for exploring modern gay transgression and deviance. These are deeds that are maybe closely associated with or sometimes directly result from the entire period isolation, oppression, and marginalization of homosexuals, mainly by Western hetero-normative communities.
