Abstract
This is a critique on a research paper about self-reported suicide attempts in a tri-ethnic group of adolescents. It evaluates and critiques a study performed on a group of students pertaining to adolescent suicide. This study examines the multiple factors affecting recent suicide attempts in adolescents from three different ethnic backgrounds. The resilience model is used to describe and analyze the relationships between these variables categorized according to sex, age and race.
From the Paper
"Adolescent suicide is a major sociological dilemma and one that is growing with time. Past research shows that suicide is amongst the top three causes of death in 15-24 year olds and that this trend is multiplying rapidly in the younger age group. [Rew et al, 2001] Females have been shown to be more prone to attempt suicide and some ethnic minority groups seem to be more affected than others. Not only is this behavior a source of grief to the loved ones but its increasing pattern have also made it an important social, and medical issue. Previous studies have shown that both external and internal factors have a significant effect on the statistics relating to suicide. Data has been collected to show that physical and sexual abuses have a significant relationship to an increase in suicide attempts.[Rew et al, 2001] Feelings of depression, hopelessness and inadequacy are also associated factors to adolescent suicide. It has been seen however that even if these factors are present suicide attempts can be avoided by the influence of social values, religious influences, and peer support or social activities."

Abstract
The paper first defines the term, "ethnic group", and then goes on to discuss the contribution of the various ethnic groups that live in America, the oldest originating in the Paleolithic period or Stone Age. The paper concludes that everyone would benefit from becoming better acquainted with these histories.
From the Paper
"Although, other groups certainly coexisted on the planet with the white AMH people, none of the remains found have had the DNA confirmations to a white race as the Cro-Magnon. The Homo erectus, Homo ergaster, and the Neanderthals are all considerably different from each other and from the AMH, but could have possibly mixed at various points in time to cause the range in ethnic groups of today. Another belief of how the white AMH people may have developed into other ethnicities without mixing is through the gradual gain in skills and knowledge that led up to settlements in ancient Babylon, possibly during the Neolithic Age"

Abstract
This paper attempts to identify the collective agency of minority groups in U.K. society, the structures that influence them and then comments on the effects of such.
From the Paper
"Language also influences the way we are seen by our workmates. British English has lots of please & thank you's & is concerned about the feelings of others. But English from other countries can be more or less direct, use fewer 'please & thank you s' . The tone & syntax can be mis-interpreted too. Carter quoted non white workers who noted that 98% of disciplinary cases involved ethnic minorities' workers, felt that discipline was heavy handed with non white workers & that white workers were inexperienced in working with ethnic minorities."

"Relationship Between the Frequency of Police Use of Force and The Racial/Ethnic Background of the Recipient of Such Force: A Research Proposal
Introduction
Charges and countercharges related to police brutality and to the use of force generally by police are not new either in the United States generally or in the City of New York particularly. Such charges and countercharges almost always are associated in some way with the race or ethnic background of the victim of police brutality or the recipient of the police use of force. While such charges and countercharges are not new, however, they have been raised to new heights by two relatively recent incidents in the City of New York involving the brutalization of Abner Louima, an immigrant of Sub-Saharan..."

From the Paper
" The United States boasts the greatest cultural diversity of any nation in the world. Among these cultures are African-Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, Asian Pacifics, and European immigrants. The common ground these groups share is their belief in the American Dream.
Diversity is found even within ethnic groups. Native-born blacks as well as recent immigrants from the Caribbean and Africa are classified as African-American. The term "Hispanic" refers to a wide range of groups including Mexican-Americans, Cuban-Americans, Puerto Ricans, and immigrants from South and Central America. (Mexican-Americans represent the largest group among the Hispanic population.) Native Americans are identified according to their tribal affiliation, which includes Sioux, Cherokee, Chippewa, and Navaho. European immigrants hail from.."

The Ukrainian Ethnic Group, 2002.
A look at Ukrainian culture and its impact on the United States.

Abstract
This paper examines how the influx of Eastern Europeans into the United States brought with it the focus of the Eastern Orthodox faith, as well as many language, culinary, artistic, and other cultural aspects. It discusses how, regardless of the earlier immigrants' initial rejection of the Eastern European immigrants, the impact that has occurred upon the United States culture is hard to quantify and how continued immigration will further the cause of ethnic identity awareness. It shows how Ukrainians immigrating to North America today may offer some answers to the earlier members of the diaspora of the Ukraine and will continue to offer their voice and their cultural perspective to the melting pot of American culture.
From the Paper
"Though it may be true that most people without an intimate knowledge of the Eastern European or more specifically the Ukrainian culture would probably be most likely to associate the region with a certain folk art that has become a popular symbol of the culture. The Ukrainian egg with its deep rich dark colors, is a sort of transplanted analogy of the Ukrainian culture. The egg itself, though it may seem like a trivial image to funnel an entire nation into, and it some ways it is, is a very intricate and time consuming decoration process that requires a steady hand and hours of patience. The decoration process involves wax and dyes and a sharp tool to etch out the previous layer into patterns. The beauty of (pysanky) the Ukrainian Egg, as it has become known is a truly multifaceted symbol for a truly multifaceted culture."

Abstract
This paper provides an historical overview of Harlem, followed by an ethnological examination of the changes that took place in Harlem during the period from 1890 to 1970. A summary of the research is provided in the conclusion.
From the Paper
"The section of New York City that is known as Harlem generally runs north and south from 110th street to 155th street, and east and west from the East River to the Hudson River in the borough of Manhattan. "It's about the size of Cincinnati, Ohio, and like many urban communities in the U.S., it has become a hot spot of inner-city development, where new businesses, megastores, and an ethnically mixed population--mostly middle class--have pitched their tents" (Alleyne & Anderson 2003:76). The shifts in demographics that are taking place across the country are also happening in Harlem; however, in Harlem's case, the changes hold special significance."

From the Paper
"Different ethnic groups have reacted differently to the American experience, and indeed that experience has been different for people with different origins. An examination of the experience of three groups shows their idea of America and the experience that tested or shaped that idea. These concepts are reflected in writings by individuals who themselves experienced the America of their ethnic group. The Autobiography of Malcolm X reflects the experience and attitudes of black people in this century but relates this experience back to the reality of slavery and to the underlying racist attitudes that developed in American society. Mario Puzo in The Godfather tells the story of one particular Italian family, and in so doing he reflects aspects of the Italian experience in America. Oscar Hijuelos tells the story of a Cuban family in New York City and.."

Effect of Group Composition on Group Dynamics, 2004.
It?s not just a matter of bringing a group of people together; the sorts of people brought together can change the sort of group constructed.
4,361 words (approx. 17.4 pages), 19 sources, MLA, $ 114.95

Abstract
This essay examines how the composition of a group, whether for therapeutic or business reasons, affects the outcomes and group goals that can eventuate. The essay contends that group composition needs to be both homogeneous and heterogeneous enough to allow for group processes to occur, i.e. group stages, for the group dynamic to progress and group goals to be achieved.
From the Paper
"While it is true that a group is made up of individuals, and without those individuals there would be no group, it is quite impossible to judge the ?sort of group? that will eventuate from merely examining the ?sorts of people? that constitute it. Doing so would be like ?explain[ing] the shifting pattern of a kaleidoscope by taking the tube to pieces and listing the fragments found inside? (Thompson and Kahn, 1970: 12). Systems theorists have long posited, in opposition to individual psychological explanations of group behaviour, that when individuals ?merge into a group? something new is created? (Lewin, 1951: 57). This new entity, although comprised of individuals, is believed to be ?greater than the sum of its parts? and thus the dynamic that is created within the group is not directly attributed to any one individual but rather the unique interrelationship between those individuals and the force that this interrelationship has on group functioning."

Abstract
Examines the pattern of ideas in this book on group dynamics. Primacy of the group in individual life experience. Group theory applied to effective problem solving. Factors of effective communication, social interaction, cooperation and leadership. Idea that social interaction can function for good or ill. Dynamics of social interchange. Types of groups.
From the Paper
"This research examines the pattern of ideas in Joining Together: Group Theory & Group Skills by Johnson and Johnson, as well as the means by which the authors articulate their view of the primacy of group dynamics in individual life experience. The research will set forth the principal lines of thought in the text and then discuss the value of a solid grounding in group theory to the practice of effective problem solving via effective communication, social interaction, cooperation, and leadership.
Group theory cannot be understood apart from the concept of dynamics, i.e., that groups are living things, functioning as a consequence of communication and leadership (Johnson & Johnson, 2000, p. 38), and functioning in a continual state of change. Indeed, changing patterns of communication and leadership are the ..."

Abstract
This essay focuses on the work of Durkheim entitled "Suicide. " The author attempts to understand Durkheim's work, the role of sociology in suicide, the ambiguity surrounding the definition of suicide and the forms of suicide.
From the Paper
Suicide, Durkheim's third major work is of importance as it was his first attempt to bring empiricism into Sociology. Empiricism would provide a sociological explanation for phenomena such as suicide, which was traditionally regarded as restrictively psychological or biological. Durkheim defined the role of Sociology as comparable to Biology in natural science. Both disciplines study the normal or abnormal characteristics of phenomena, which affect the strength, or weakness of the organism. Sociology's main focus is to "study facts external to the individual" (Thompson 1985:92). When the term suicide comes to mind, we do not automatically link it with Sociology. Suicide can be argued to be a mental state, which is reserved mostly for the discipline of psychology. Durkheim looks at how this perceived mental state can be brought into Sociology by looking at elements such as family, occupations and social ties, all of which are a part of society and the root of Sociology. These elements are "always contemporaneous with some crisis which temporarily affects the social state" (Thompson 1985:95). Looking at society's groups, Durkheim noted that each "population had its own suicide rate, and that this rate is more constant than the general mortality".
