Father Christopher stood firm and was very determined to end the slavery. The Dominicans had always thought that the Haitians were darker and so they would look down on them (because they were the only people they could really look down on) which is Racist. Children of the Haitian parents who have no papers, have no Citizenship, they were neither Dominicans nor Haitians in fact they were invisible to the government. After some improvements were made, Father Christopher began to receive threats from some Dominicans who supported Vicini. They simply couldn’t establish Hegemony. Father Christopher stood firm and didn’t leave because the Haitians depended on him. The Price of sugar is quite an emotional documentary, people do not deserve to be treated that way. It is sad that the ignorant Dominicans also contributed to their problems.

This article focuses on how unequal America is. Pierre’s theory explains the benefits that come with being rich. The article shows how the coronavirus relief will do little for many people in the working class whereas people of highclass who are big-time corporate executives will enjoy the bail out package.

This is my kinship diagram. I have a large family. My mom has six siblings, so does my dad but the space was too small to add my dad’s sister. My biological father actually died just before I was born but thankfully my mom got remarried to my amazing stepDAD when I was 4. I have more parallel cousins than cross cousins. Even though we’re a large family, we’re still close and we always have a family party at the beginning or end of every year. I’m the first grandchild from my mom’s side but I have older cousins from my dad’s side. I share a close relationship with all my cousins (I’m very friendly). My dad’s parent are dead but my mom’s parents are still very strong. I have a great grandma (I didn’t include that in the diagram but she’s my mom’s father’s mother). I’m the first child so my parents are still quite young. That’s all about my LARGE family.

Children commercials do affect the way children perceive gender. During the weekend I payed attention to four particular commercials; Barbie doll, baby Annabel, U build and Marvel Avengers assemble commercials. Two commercials were aimed at boys and two were also aimed at girls. None of them wasn’t gendered. The commercials used light, soft colors like pink, purple, yellow and orange to attract girls while they used lousy background music and colors like green and blue to attract boys. The commercials aimed towards girls depict that girls should be soft, and caring and the Barbie doll commercials show that girls should care about their appearance. On the other hand, the commercials for boy toys show that boys should be overly active, adventurous, brave and daring (that is they should show less emotion). People actively create gender roles. Not all girls do typical girl stuff and the same goes for boys. It’s a matter of preference (which might be as a result of their identity) and sometimes doesn’t make them less of a girl or boy.

Jim Crow were laws implemented after the US Civil war to legally enforce segregation, particularly in the South, after the end of slavery. The laws were implemented in order to maintain control over the African Americans as they had already been identified as citizens. The picture above shows how people were separated because of their color.

Miscegenation is a demeaning historical term for interracial marriage. The picture above shows how people were against interracial marriages.

Colonialism is a system by which a nation-state extends, political, economic and military power beyond its own borders over an extended period of time to secure access to cheap labor, raw materials and markets in order countries or regions. The picture above shows the enforcement of military power .

This picture depicts racism. Racism is the belief that ones race is superior to any other race. It refers to individuals’ thoughts and actions and institutional patterns and policies that create unequal access to power, privilege,resources and opportunities based on imagined differences among groups. This is another “social construct”.

This picture explains what race really is. Race is a flawed system of classification with no biological basis, that uses certain physical characteristics ( phenotype) to divide the human population into supposedly discrete groups. Race is not biologically real, it is a social construct.

The song I chose for Fieldwork Assignment #4 is “Lost ones” by J Cole. I believe some lines in the song reflect gender, power and dialect. The line “ I ain’t too proud to tell ya that I cry sometimes “ , which he repeats in the chorus relates to gender. People view men as strong beings, that’s how the popular saying “men don’t cry” came along. The line shows how ashamed he is to admit that he cries because it is seen as a form of weakness. The line “I’m not with them n*ggas who be knocking girls up and skate out”, reflects power. Nowadays, guys believe they have the power to impregnate a girl and walk away like it’s not their business. The repeated use of the word “n*gga” and the presentation of some words show that the singer is a Black American as it is a language that distinguishes African-Americans from other races.

Well I know no one goes to church everyday of the week, but there’s bible study on Tuesdays and only students like me who are in college are always absent. The church is always full on Sundays compared to every other day of the week, and that’s if there is service during the week.

Well I’ve realized that I don’t waste money. I buy something when it’s really important and if it’s not essential I don’t overdo it. For example, it’s necessary to have a phone but then that doesn’t mean I have to get the latest phone. I hardly pay attention to wants. I have my priorities and I’m usually very focused. After doing this assignment I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m on the right track as regards my spending habits.

Donovan’s invention helped a lot of mothers at the time. It also helped reduce the painful diaper rash babies had to experience. It was unfortunate that manufactures did not capitalize on her idea early enough.Today, some 95 percent of babies wear disposable diapers. And according to the EPA, each baby in the United States goes through about 8,000 of them.

The rapid innovation of communication and transportation technologies associated with globalization which has transformed the way people think about space and time is what is called , time-space compression.
