Abstract
This essay compares the changes in cultural rule systems regulating race relations in Chicago and the strategies used by white and black groups to alter those relations between 1890 and 1920 and in the American South between 1954 and 1968. In Chicago during this period, a pattern of de facto segregation of and discrimination against the black population was largely in place by 1890. It intensified during the succeeding thirty years, as whites responded hostilely to the growing migration of blacks from the South, especially during the wartime boom of 1915-1918. In contrast, a de jure system of segregation and discrimination had been in place for more than 75 years in the South at the time the civil rights struggles there erupted after 1953.

Abstract
Discusses how Chicago has had historical problems among its racial populations. It examines how many minorities have charged police of excessive brutality, and despite the fact that an individual of a minority race is the chief of police, such problems continue. This paper examines the fragile issue of race relations in Chicago.
From the Paper
"Chicago?s history has been turbulent as far as race relations are concerned. A shocking report by the Chicago Community Trust Human Relations Task Force, which was released roughly ten years ago, revealed what blacks and other ethnic minorities knew already, that discrimination and racial prejudice was rampant in Chicago and that blacks and whites are divided along racial and ethnic lines. In late Dec. 2000, another Task force, ?The Human Relations Foundation of Chicago? concluded that ?ethnic minorities are being discriminated against in more subtle ways ?. The report adds that there are gaps in income, education and wealth, between Whites and other ethnic minorities in Chicago. This meant that people are still divided along racial lines, as indicated by the segregated nature of housing in Chicago."

Race Riots in Chicago
Alcohol Addiction
Organized Crimes in Chicago
Bibliography
From the Paper
"While it would be wrong to classify Chicago as a crime-ridden city now, still for some odd reason, this city has become a symbol of organized crime. The era of 1920s brought a seriously bad name to the city which means that when we mention Chicago, somehow the images of machine guns rattling on the streets pop up in our minds. Corrupt politicians, bootleggers and notorious gangsters found this city as a haven for crime activities and it came to be known as the Capone's Chicago because of increased activities in organized crime. But while this city was infested with crime, at the same time, people were also struggling to free their beloved city of the problems transplanted by the Sicilian Mafia. Another major reason why crime rates and other illegal activities escalated was the fact that many youngsters found it a safe haven to get what they wanted including drugs, brothels and gambling activities."

Covering a range of topics including affirmative action, black sexuality and the crisis in black leadership, West's discussion presents a gloomy assessment of efforts within recent decades to overcome institutional obstacles to black achievement, such as the legacy of slavery and the persistence of white racism. West's first chapter introduces his theory of nihilism in contemporary African American life and how this malaise of the..."

From the Paper
"Race is one of the most bedeviling of anthropological characteristics. The concept, with the barest tips of its roots in biological and the rest of the plant firmly grafted to cultural and sociological ideals, is one of the first concepts that anthropologists dealt with vigorously in terms of the history of the profession and both helped establish it as a discipline in its own right (distinct from history, political economy, philosophy, comparative religion and ethics) and has kept it from being entirely assimilated into the post-colonial mindset. Like the poor for the rest of humanity, the idea of race ? for both good and ill ? seems always to be with the anthropologist.
This paper examines the views and research on race held and performed by Franz Boas, one of the preeminent members of the ..."

Steeplechase Racing, 2002.
Examines the history of steeplechase racing, a form of horse racing, in England.
2,400 words (approx. 9.6 pages), 9 sources, $ 89.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
While it can be argued that gambling and racing are inextricably linked, this paper will argue that horse racing, especially professional steeplechasing, has made a distinct move away from its roots as a sport. Looking at the historical development and geographic expansion of steeplechase in England, it will be clear in the final analysis that modern steeplechase is a far cry from its origins, which were closely linked to a horse's prowess in "the hunt". Its declining popularity with the masses, especially relative to point-to-point amateur racing, suggest that its attempt to modernize has not been successful, and spectators and speculators alike are all eager to get back in touch with real racing. What the future holds for professional steeplechase racing in Britain is, thus, a matter of speculation; but, consistent with the wagering nature of the sport, this paper will close with the bid that it has passed its prime.

"South Korea has been an important connotation for modern history and the adverse impact of the Cold War. Korean history as such is over four thousand years old however even after treacherous Japanese and Chinese rule over Korea over the course of its history it did have several decades of democracy only to be marred by other invasions. Immediately after the Second World War, America and U.S.S.R. decided arbitrarily to occupy and divide North and South Korea across the 38th Parallel and it was mutually agreed upon that over the next couple of decades the region would be reunited into one Korea. However the spill-over effects of the Cold War, rather Capitalism versus Communism created what can be termed as ??Cold? Korea ?War?? which has led to extensive wars between the North and the South and even after five decades of division both the North and the South have only vastly grown in differences, cultures and economic development. While the North has remained impoverished and dependent on Chinese handouts and maintains one of the largest militaries in the world, USA brought South Korea under its wing and has created one of the world?s largest economies. It is a sharp contrast to the North with very little similarity except a violent history that was marred by foreign rule. South Korea today is a vibrant economy and although it has faced its share of problems with dictatorial regimes over the last couple of decade?s democracy has been widespread and successful and has led to strong economic growth and recovery."

Abstract
This paper explores, from a historical perspective, the evolution of imperial colonialism in South Africa by examining the political impact of the apartheid period on the society and the people and on the South African society today. The author points out that all the definitions of the term 'apartheid' contain the basic idea of segregated identities based on race, color or social position. The paper relates that the Group Areas Act of 1950 formally established apartheid in South Africa by delimiting by law the respective districts for each race and by barring members from other races from living, operating businesses or owning land in these districts.
From the Paper
"This new structure of the society benefited from the vote of the population in 1948 when the Nationalistic Party came to power. It represented the legitimization of the white dominated system of law that is because in most cases "the institutions of white economic and political domination were already in place." According to their creed, "they sought to free South Africa from the 'yoke' of British imperial control" . Therefore, it can be said that the rise to power of the nationalistic forces, ..., was the result of the indirect actions of the colonial system of government. "

The Social Aspects of Race, 2007.
Examines the social aspects of race through the writings of Alain Locke in his essay "The Concept of Race as Applied to Social Culture" and Ralph Ellison in his novel "Invisible Man".

Abstract
This paper looks at how Alan Locke's essay "The Concept of Race as Applie to Social Culture" and Ralph Ellison's novel "Invisible Man", show us that race is not only the biological difference between people, but is a socially constructed concept as well. The paper concludes that we can see the social aspect of race through people's interactions with others, through cultural traditions, as well as through racism and stereotypes.
From the Paper
"Like these other groups, race can be subject to subjective views about what makes an individual part of that group. As Locke says, race is "properly analyzed on the basis of conformity to or variance from culture type." Race as a social structure can only be judged in varying amounts relative to the race culture. This idea is wide spread today with individuals having to cultivate an image that is, for example, 'black enough' or 'not too Hispanic.' It is not uncommon to hear someone be put down for acting out of character for their racial stereotypes."

Race and Racism Today, 2008.
An analysis of the issues of race and their perception in America.
2,072 words (approx. 8.3 pages), 7 sources, APA, $ 65.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper identifies and analyzes how the concept of race has changed within America over the past fifty years. The paper discusses the American Civil Rights Movement, the introduction of Affirmative Action and the issue of political correctness. The paper shows how the redefinition process has reduced racism between whites and minorities, but racism between these groups still exists in different ways today. The paper predicts that that these conditions will probably persist into the next fifty years as well.
Outline:
Introduction
Race and the Civil Rights Movements
Race and Affirmative Action
Race and Political Correctness
The Modern Understanding of Race
Race in the Next Fifty Years
From the Paper
"Awareness of race and racial issues is not racism, but in the modern era it is extremely difficult to distinguish between these concepts. The perception of race and racial awareness within the United States has transformed dramatically over the past five decades, where resistance to racial integration initially framed racial issues, but integration and diversity awareness resulted in gradual acceptance of persons of diverse races and a purposeful elimination of racism (Healy, 2004). Landmark events such as the Civil Rights movement helped characterize tolerance and equality as the rights of every American citizen, thus promoting awareness of race; barriers between races in terms of social, cultural, and economic status; and the opportunities that could result from a racially diverse nation (Tatum, 1992; Darder & Torres, 2004))."
