Four Major White People
586 wordsIs television today still in the era of segregation? I think that it is because none of the four major networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX) have enough of security of mind to have a full minority show. In an article in Time magazine, the author wrote, "Of 26 pilots for the fall, none has a minority star" (Poniewozik 1). This is a main point that I am trying to make. The only minority stars that are signed are by second-rate networks like the WB and UPN. The only two shows that will be integrated will b...

Christian Science Monitor United States Population
1,159 wordsIn my opinion, one of the most controversial topics in the Supreme Court is the idea of capital punishment.

Thirty-eight states and the federal government authorize capital punishment and the number of people on death row has risen to more than 3, 500 (Clear and Cole). Of the yearly 22, 000 arres...

Sense Of Power Police Officers Intelligence

Are all minorities simply unruly, or is it that police officers with lower intelligence levels and a false sense of power abuse their ability to mistreat people they do not like?

First it is a well-known fact that the majority of poli...
