Racial and ethnic stratification

Racial
Race refers to a group of humans with cultural or biological characteristics that are divided into common body shape, face shape, skin color, hair color, and eye color. These racial characteristics are expressed in various ways depending on specific regions, geographical, historical backgrounds, anthropological, and humanities factors. However, racial distinctions are not always fair, depending on consultation, and biologically difficult to distinguish. Conflicts can also occur within each culture and individual social situations, including various ethnic behavior patterns, values, and ways of thinking. Therefore, understanding and respecting race are important, and in the event of problems such as racism or racial conflict, efforts should be made to understand and solve each other through dialogue.

Ethnic
Ethnicity refers to a group that shares language, culture, history, geographical status, biological characteristics, etc., and has a sense of community. The concept of ethnicity is diverse and can be classified by various criteria such as nationality, race, religion, and cultural factors. In some cases, it has ethnic unity, and various ethnic groups interact and combine with each other to form a mixed race. People usually value their history and culture. This self-consciousness is often one of the important factors for all ethnic groups to respect each other and continue to talk. However, if this concept of ethnicity is separated from the medical industry, military, economic industry, imbalance in human rights, social ideology, etc., it can lead to political problems, discrimination problems, etc. Therefore, communication is considered important as we grow up interacting with and respecting each culture and ethnicity.

the current state of racism
Racism has long been a part of human history. To this day, racism and inequality still exist in various places around the world. There are various examples that prove this.
1. South Africa's Apartheid
It is a segregation system that was implemented in South Africa from 1948 to 1994. White people were given various privileges, and black people were bullied, such as losing their rights to not be treated as human beings and being banned from entering.
2. racism in the United States
- segregation: providing black people with separate facilities and living separately from white people.
- Ethnic Ignatian border: means restrictions on ethnic groups moving across borders.
- Race Prejudice: Some white people think black people are inferior, discriminate against them. This is often viewed as a difference, especially in economic and educational opportunities.
3. racism in Japan
There is discrimination against Koreans and immigrants in Japan. For example, there are various cases in which voting is restricted in some provinces if local voters are Korean.
These cases of racism are part of a serious problem with human rights. In order to solve racism and build a fair society, we must strive endlessly.

Science & Futurism with Isaac 2_extra credit

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRStfFOwcsM The video "What If The Dinosaurs Hadn't Died Off?" by AlternateHistoryHub explores a fascinating hypothetical scenario: what the world might look like if the dinosaurs had survived the catastrophic events that led to their extinction 66 million years ago. The video delves into various aspects of this alternate history, examining the potential impact on mammalian evolution, human development, and the planet's ecosystems. The video begins with a brief overview of the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event, which wiped out the dinosaurs and allowed mammals to become the dominant life forms on Earth. It then explores the possible consequences if this event had never occurred. The narrative is engaging, combining scientific knowledge with imaginative speculation to paint a vivid picture of an alternate Earth. One of the most intriguing points discussed is how the survival of dinosaurs might have affected mammalian evolution. Witho...

Extra credit—Examples of values that have been commodified

Commodification of wood carving In fact, the situation described above is a thing of the past. It's not completely changed, but there are a few exceptions now with the penetration of the monetary economy. These changes, presumably, began in the 1960s, when farmers in Zafimaniri began selling crafts. The artefacts were originally purchased by Catholic priests in France to minimize food shortages during bad harvests. Also, around the same time, the museum affiliated with the Antananarivo University, Madagascar's largest institution of higher learning, began collecting specimens from all over Madagascar, and the "folk arts" inherited from the mountains were also extensively collected. As a result, the exquisite wood carvings of Zafimaniri were first recognized overseas and later by the wealthy class in China. The penetration of monetary economy has brought the following effects to the production of wood carving. 1. Before the beginning of professional commercialization, ...

W5.2- Introduction to Sociology/Religion-LUAN QIANYUE

 1.Summary The sociologist Émile Durkheim described it by saying that it consists of "things beyond the limits of our knowledge". Religion is "a unified system of beliefs and practices associated with sacred things, that is, separated and forbidden, beliefs and practices united into a single moral community called the Church, for all those who adhere to them". Religion can be broadly defined as a system of beliefs, values and practices that provide individuals with a sense of meaning and purpose in their lives. It is a fundamental aspect of human culture and has played an important role in shaping society throughout history. Sociologists are interested in understanding how religion influences social behavior, how it interacts with other social institutions, and how it shapes individual and group identity. 2.Interesting point Religion exists as an organized and integrated set of beliefs, behaviors, and norms centered on basic social needs and values. It typically inc...
