Everywhere we go, we find racism of all sorts. Some people think that what they’re doing is not classified as racism, but racism is basically an umbrella term that describes many behaviors and thoughts against a certain race. Here are some types of racism that exist today.  One type of racism is Individual Racism, which is what we classify as the definition of racism. It is when a person’s behavior and thoughts are based on stereotypes against a race. An example is when a white person personally thinks that he is much more superior than a person of color. Even though we try to prevent such racist thoughts, it can be hard because these thoughts are often unconscious. Society has expressed colored people with negative images for many years, so our minds automatically jump to racist conclusions without us realizing it.  Another type of racism is Interpersonal Racism, which is racism between two individuals, aka when a white person projects their racist behavior towards a colore

All throughout time, people loved getting invites to the biggest party of the year. Everyone would look good and have such a great time. However, parties being thrown now are much different than in the past, from who was invited to what went down in each party. Back in the 1900's, parties were a big thing. Throwing extravagant parties or being invited to one made someone popular and well liked. They were accepted as one of the rich in society and were well respected. These parties were also a way for everyone to show off their wealth. Families got to dress up in their nicest outfits and make everyone jealous. Affairs were also very common during these parties. Men would either find younger women to hook up with or women would find richer men to spend time with. These would either ruin marriages or some couples just never even let it bother them. For example, in the Great Gatsby  by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Daisy "threw her napkin on the table and excused herself and went into

If you were to go to a regional competition, you're going to see groups everywhere. You're gonna see groups everywhere. There would be a group of kids from Jefferson High School, a group from Gilbert Academy, another from Brooklyn High School, and many more. Social groups surround us everywhere we go, even if it's not obvious. A very common type of separation in society is social classes. The main classes of America are the Upper, Upper-Middle, Middle, Working, and Lower classes. Your place in society is not directly said to you, but it's more of a feeling instead. You just know where you belong based on your income, wealth, power, culture, heritage, etc. Unlike other separations, like the caste system, your class isn't always based on your past. Whether you have "old money" or "new money", you're still part of the upper class. The main setback of each class is how much comfort you can afford. An upper class family can maybe live in a mans

Until my last breath, or my very first flight, I never got to experience real love. There might've been some love around me, but I was either too late to realize it or the love wasn't real. It's true that I didn't love Hagar at first, but if I realized how much I needed her in my life, I could've led a satisfied life and maybe even prevented her death. I loved her, and she truly loved me. I knew she would be there for me no matter what, unlike my family. My father tortured me, my mother insulted me, and my sisters hated me, but Hagar only gave me happiness and true joy, but I was an idiot to not realize that. She loved me as an individual. I wish I could've spent more time with her before she passed away. She's the only one that taught me what true love was, unlike Guitar. Guitar said he killed white people out of love, but what kind of love is that? He said that he would kill in order to make the white people pay for what they did to our people, bu
