Origins and Evolution of Black Politics and the
Enlightenment’s Project of Modernity : This 7 page report
discusses the parallels between the origins and evolution of
Black politics and the Enlightenment’s project of modernity.
The shift from “modernity” to “post-modernity” has been
duplicated in the process that resulted in the development of
modern politics for the African American community in the
United States. Parallels between the emergence of Black
politics in the U.S. and the entire process of “modern”
thinking actually can be compared to the development of the
“Enlightenment” of earlier centuries and its focus on
“modernity.” Bibliography lists 5 sources. BWblkmod.wps

Affects Of Racial Stereotypes On Society : 5 pages in
length. Society has been struggling to overcome centuries
of racism, racial conflicts and racial polarization. There is
virtually no segment of society that is not affected by racial
stereotypes, which are oversimplified or mistaken attitudes,
opinions or judgments. From school children to the
workplace, from the entertainment industry to the sports
world, racial stereotypes are an integral part of society's
framework. Indeed, a perfect society would reflect an
attitude of equality -- rather than one of segregation --
toward the myriad ethnicities that exist in today's world;
however, as much as humanity has moved away from
racism, there have been just as many issues that have stalled
its continuation. The writer discusses how racial
stereotypes affect society. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Why People Support Affirmative Action : A 15 page paper
presenting a literature review and an abbreviated
survey-based research seeking attitudes and reasons why
Affirmative Action policies appear to be ingrained forever in
our society. Research findings indicate that while
individuals, both African American and white, believe that
the very program tends to extend racial discrimination rather
than alleviate it, none wants to be accused of being either
“racist” or uncaring regarding the fate of others. The
sample is a limited number of women equally divided
according to race; the findings indicate that further research
is warranted. Bibliography lists 16 sources.
