navigate. In John Steinbeck s novel Of Mice and
Men, Lennie sho...

Pre-communist society was based on the teachings
of Kung Fuzi (Confucius, 550 - 478 BC), whose main
doctrine explained that inequality of the sexes in
society was natural and necessary. He thought that
everyone had his place- and a womans place was at
the bottom of the hierarchy. Kung Fuzi stated
Women are human but lower than men and It is the
law of nature that woman should not be allowed any

Prima Facie Racial Identity

As children, most of us were given a playground
definition of racism. Racism meant assuming bad

apparent simplicity actually contains three
separate components. First, a racist has bad
intent. Second, a racist makes prima facie
assumptions. And third, a racist targets an
immutable characteristic; in other words,
something we cannot change and which we did not
choose. Lets begin with the notion of r...
