Abstract
This paper presents the writer's personal response to the essay by Laurence Thomas, entitled "Sexism and Racism: Some Conceptual Differences." It argues that Thomas presents an impractical argument, an exercise in rhetoric and semantics, based on subjective analysis. The writer then points to numerous flaws in the specific points that Thomas tries to make and suggests that since Thomas' essay was written, attitudes have changed dramatically.
From the Paper
"And here is still another consideration: taking the position of a chauvinist in order to explain what sexism is ruins his argument in the first place. For example, on page 247 he says in the "traditional male role" a "real man" is one who "wears the pants around the house." This is an old-fashioned concept and has little to do with a man being "sexist" except for the fact that the writer himself seems to have chauvinistic ideas about the man-woman genre."
"Meanwhile, some of the arguments spelled out by Laurence Thomas have value, but others are completely innocuous. How can he say that "sexism" is "unlike racism" because it "lends itself to a morally unobjectionable description"? Both sexism and cultural bigotry are morally objectionable. Both are examples of the cultural confusion in our country."

Sexism and Racism, 2002.

Abstract
This paper discusses how sexism and racism both involve imposing a set of expectations on groups in society and how sexism has not been eliminated from American life any more than racism has. In "Women's Magazines 1940-1960" by Nancy A. Walker, it shows how women's magazines package a set of behaviors, roles, expectations, attitudes, and values related to domesticity and which, of followed, would enclose women in a relatively narrow range of choices. In writing about blacks and how they are treated in American society, Richard Wright in his book "Black Boy" also suggests ways in which blacks are given a packaged set of roles and attitudes to which they are expected to conform. This paper provides a short biography of Richard Wright and attempts to analyze how he would have viewed the expectations and attitudes imposed on women and how alike or how different would he have seen them from those imposed on blacks.
From the Paper
"Richard Wright was born in 1908 on a plantation outside Natchez, Mississippi. His father was a sharecropper, while his mother taught in a country school. Richard's childhood was spent in one of the most poverty-stricken and rigidly segregated regions of the South. When he was six, his family moved to Memphis, Tennessee, so his father could get a better job, and the father then worked as a night porter in a hotel, while the mother worked as a cook for a white family. Richard's father left the family for another woman son after that, and in 1915 Richard's mother became ill to such a degree that she was an invalid for the rest of her life. Richard, his mother, and his brother then moved to Jackson, Mississippi. to live with Richard's grandmother for a time."

"Sexism, Racism and Canadian Nationalism", 2002.
Analyzes this article by Ng on Canadian "whiteness".

Abstract
This paper summarizes and critiques the article "Sexism, Racism and Canadian Nationalism." In this paper, Ng reviews analyses of the early formation of the Canadian State and the ways race, gender and class were incorporated by elite classes and state-based institutions on the basis of perceived white superiority. Whiteness is, historically, a paternalistic relation of domination; thus, the State is constantly setting up structural forces (e.g., immigration policy) that constitute sites of struggle and conflict. It is here, in struggle and conflict, Ng argues, that the relations can be understood as historical processes of production and reproduction.

It also attempts to study the interlocking and operation of the oppressive forces in societies and discusses the steps involved in the elimination of oppression.
From the Paper
"Before defining and differencing the different forms of oppression it would be worthwhile to understand clearly the concepts of discrimination and oppression. Discrimination relates to ?a way of organizing relations between groups of humans which serves to keep one group economically and politically disadvantaged as compared with another,? where as oppression implies ?any way in which humans as individuals or as groups, are treated with less than complete respect.? [McCullough, 1993:6] Discrimination is also understood as the process by which the members of a socially defined group are treated differently or rather unfairly because of their membership in the particular group."

From the Paper
"This paper will be concerned with discrimination in the workplace. Work discrimination can take the form of sexism, racism, ageism, or prejudice against gays. The threat of AIDS has caused an increase in anti-gay discrimination in recent years. Nevertheless, progress has also been made toward the elimination of job discrimination in all its forms.
Sexism is one of the most visible forms of discrimination in the workplace. many organizations are aware of this fact and thus try to seek solutions to the problem. Unfortunately, these efforts are often less than successful. For example, although the financial firms on Wall Street have established a recent campaign to "curb office sexism," the professional women who work in that environment must face "subtle discrimination" every day (Cohen, Power & Siconolfi, 1991, p. Al). In this regard, the ..."

"These definitions help to uncover why White America?s have actively sought to hate others on the basis of skin color. America was built on the backs of Black slaves with their labor, their blood, sweat and tears. Black women nursed and raised white children and were expected to provide for their master better than they could provide for themselves and their families. Black slaves were captured in Africa and made to endure a long trip to America in inhumane conditions. It is said that more people died in the slave trade than during the holocaust. Blacks were sold to the highest bidder on auction blocks like animals and then doomed to a life of torment, toil and pain. Black women were raped. Black men beaten and their children were sold and taken away from them without notice anytime."

Abstract
Racism in sports has its roots in the history of racism in Europe. Kleg writes, for example:
The Achaeans and Dorians who invaded Greece beginning in the twelfth century B.C., destroyed the Bronze Age culture of Mycenaean Greece and ushered in a "dark age" from which it took centuries to recover.
From the Paper
" Racism in sports has its roots in the history of racism in Europe. Kleg writes, for example:
The Achaeans and Dorians who invaded Greece beginning in the twelfth century B.C., destroyed the Bronze Age culture of Mycenaean Greece and ushered in a "dark age" from which it took centuries to recover. These invaders . . . were regarded as boorish compared to the civilizations of the Near East and Egypt that were already thousands of years old. When these Greeks finally became civilized and developed a flourishing culture, they looked upon others as inferior and barbaric. . . . (Kleg, 1993, 86-87).
It was not until the conquest of nations in Africa that the practice of "chattel slavery" became widespread, and this practice was institutionalized by Europeans in the New World..."

Abstract
Systemic racism is found just as much in the nursing profession as in many other institutionalized workplaces. This form of racism produces serious conflict that can harm morale and efficiency because the problem can remain hidden. Systemic racism, or institutionalized racism, is racism that is built into the system. Systemic racism is the result of interlocking systems of social oppression such as classism, sexism and ableism in the health care system. This paper explains what system racism is and discusses the serious harm it can cause. In particular, the paper discusses systemic racism within the nursing profession and looks at how it is an especially problematic issue with regard to the delivery of health services.
From the Paper
"Workplace diversity is a tremendous benefit, but it can cause serious problems not only for the staff but also for patients and the delivery of care (Aries, 2004). Systemic racism is found just as much in the nursing profession as in many other institutionalized workplaces. Minority and ethnic groups continue to be viewed as different. "Diversity has become a more pressing issue in the delivery of health services because added to long-standing racial disparities are problems associated with caring for new immigrant populations" (Aries, 2004, p. 173)."

Abstract
The paper examines Frederick Ivor Case's "Racism and National Consciousness," where he presents a complex analysis of race and racism in Canada today. With reference to Case's understanding of racism as exclusion, the paper argues that racism is a covert reality of life in Canada today that is supported in a range of subtle ways by Canadian state culture. The paper shows how racism has clear economic "value" for the capitalist corporate elite of Canadian society, making challenges of anti-racist action as great as they ever were.
Outline:
Introduction
Racism as Exclusion
The Complexities of Racism
A Covert Racism
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In defining race and racism, Frederick Ivor Case presents an excellent critique of the physiological absurdity of making distinctions between people on the basis of race: "It might seem superfluous to remark that there is no such phenomenon as African blood or Chinese blood or Jewish blood, just as in the moral sense there is no such thing as good or bad blood" (Case 38). This being said, however, Case recognizes the social reality that for generations the structures of race and racism have defined life in Canada. Case's analysis of racism in the Canadian context is particularly complex given his contention that this racism has been defined historically as the "exclusion on sight, that is, by race" of non-Europeans from the Canadian collective consciousness (Case 35)."

Abstract
This paper defines sexism and examines its history, causes, consequences, and scope. In doing so, it discusses the ?labeling theory? and how it relates to sexism. Labeling theory is a social behavioral theory that describes how attaching labels to a person can shape a person?s self-perception and the expectations or behavior of others toward the labeled person in ways that reinforce the label. It also evaluates possible solutions of the problem of sexism as it relates to the community, nation, and workplace, in order to evolve workable strategies for the implementation of the solutions.

From the Paper
"Another example of gender bias in our language is that there is no special male suffix for a married man (?Mr.? is used for both a married and unmarried men) while ?Mrs.? is used to signify a married woman (the use of Ms. is a recent phenomenon and still not universally used).
Media and Culture: The influence of cultural media such as television and film has become overwhelming. Some sociologists even believe that the influence of television and films on the developing minds of young children exceeds that of even their parents. The media perpetuates sexism by presenting stereotypical images of men and women. Women are often depicted on TV dramas as housewives and mothers while men are usually shown doing all the exciting work outside the home, thereby implying that men have no involvement in their homes and families, and that women have no interest in the outside world."
