Ellison’s “Invisible Man”

Racial Profiling: Fact or Fallacy?

Noting that this fallacy is often stretched to imply concern over implications in the post-September 11 environment, the author emphasizes that the fact is that a particular culture’s propensity for crime, not their race is what lands them in our nation’s prisons.

Racism In The Criminal Justice System
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. One of the most damning aspects of racial stereotypes as it relates to the criminal justice system is the manner in which all members of a particular race become grouped together for the actions of a relative few. By casting a negative light toward being Black, Mexican, Asian or any number of other ethnic races, the criminal justice system clearly demonstrates a great deal of
ignorance and disrespect for that individual; just because someone is a member of a certain race does not mean that he or she represents any of the negative connotations associated with that race. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Racism: The Impact Upon Psychiatry Of African-Americans
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Historically, the treatment of mental illness has generated significant discussion regarding the reasons for various illnesses and the outcome of treating them. The early fathers of psychiatry espoused different theories about mental illness and were criticized by some in the field, while others embraced their ideas. The early
leaders in mental illness treatment continue to have a major impact upon the diagnosis and subsequent treatment of those who are considered in need of such treatment. These leaders, including Sigmund Freud, had ideas about minorities that were not favorable and were, indeed, racist, the impact
of which is still being felt in the contemporary fields of psychiatry and psychology. The misdiagnosis of African-Americans has had a profoundly negative impact upon every aspect of their lives, not the least of which includes social status, economics, religion and educational opportunities. A re-examination of how minorities are diagnosed is critical to providing appropriate levels of care. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
