Neighbors : Race and the limits of reform in the American

Relations : 10 pages in length. Humanity has been
enduring an ongoing battle for centuries: the strained relations
among the races. Despite efforts to put the past behind, signs
remain at nearly every juncture that there still exists a strong
sense of racial dissension. While many Caucasians do not see
the problem being as severe as it is represented,
African-Americans angrily reply that the lighter skinned race
has not had to endure such prejudice and, therefore, cannot
begin to identify with the situation. Similarly, Asians,
Hispanics and other United States minorities believe they often
receive unfair treatment because of their race. The writer
discusses the various aspects of race relations and how they
have changed over time. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

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. RacialSt.wps

Illegal immigration, migrant farm jobs and two periods of
immigration allowances since the turn of the century have
