reparations
Do I feel that the African Americans should be repamandated by the United StatesGovernment for being sold into slavery? No, I feel if the government began to try toconasate for some of the peoples mistakes that it would be such a snowball effect thatit would cause a great problem for our society. To begin with how could you justafivefor such an unfair and uncivilized condition. The people of this culture, of which theseacts were induced upon are long gone and how could you begin to make it easier forthose that have been gone for so long? I don't feel that anyone other then those thatsuffered the true pain are instilled to be rewarded for something that they didn't do.A society is a group of people organized together so that its needs-the sustaining oflife at the most basic lever-can be met. Culture is a broad term which embraces all thespecific characteristics of a society- technology; modes of dress and diet; economic,social and political organization,styles of shelter; religion; language; methods ofchild-rearing; and so forth- as they are functionally related to each other. Put mostsimply, "culture" means a way of life, the framework within wh
Faith,not reason, governed their lives, and thus men of difference faiths found themselvespassionately committed to defending their ideology and attacking those with variantviews. While we must be alive to the problems of a culture approach tohistory, it at least provides us with a way of understanding the interaction of the greatmass of individuals of widely varying backgrounds who found themselves cohabitingone pare of the world several centuries ago. Because we Americans, belonging to the same nation, speaking the same language,living under the same law, participating in the same economic and political system-allof which make up the American "culture" does not mean that we are all alike. We are all citizens of the United Statesof American and I feel that we should all be treated with equal rights. The reality ofrace is thus as much a social as a biological reality, the inheritance of physical traitsserving as the raw material for social sorting devices, by which both stigmata andprivileges may be systematically allocated. My only hope is that someday all these racial and preguse may be but aside and wecould bind ourselves together by taking hold of each other's hands so firmly and forminga circle so strong that if a a tree should fall upon it, it could not shake nor break it, so thatour people and grandchildren shall remain in the circle in security, peace and happiness. This is what is meant when we refer to "cultural traits" or"group behavior. They, too, give meaning to all we doand provide us with a sense of identity. We are dealing not withgenetically different groups but with human populations from different parts of theworld, with groups of people with cultural differences. ------------------------------------------------------------------------**Bibliography**. These too are systems of thought and belief, ways of organizing the life ofsociety and channeling its energies and values. Americans organize their lives differently and behave differently from people in otherparts of the world. One other cautionary note is necessary. Otherwise there would be no generation gap, no racial tension, no political conflict. " Thus there is little basis for distinguishingcultural groups at the biological or physiological level.
