Ethics Final

Humans decided to start categorizing, and grouping humans found on various things. Research shows that man is of but one kind, and not like an animal of some(prenominal) species (Schaefer, R, T. (2006).. Humans have assumed that because state with different skin color, different cultural beliefs, or different shipway of thinking that they must be of a different biological backwash (Schaefer, R, T. (2006). Society has created everything from what foods to eat, what music to listen to, to what they teach their children and true generations about credence of each other and passing on racial beliefs.Politicians and people of wealthiness have been notorious for labeling groups and racial profiling to get the higher up so to speak, or to create justification in the community. Race began hardly a categorization of physical biological characteristics such(prenominal) as pig type, shape of the eyes and nose, and skin color (Schaefer, R, T. (2006). White was white, and down(p) was raw then came the categorizing of additional attributes such as afro-textured hair and large noses on African Americans, or olive skin, slanted yes, and shiny Jet black hair in Asiatics.Biologically speaking in that respect is nothing as open as black and white. For many, many years people have resettled or traveled all over the world and mingled and procreated with other races which has without delay mixed traits, and been passed down generation after generation. It seems virtually Impossible to authentically Identify a persons race, because I find It hard to believe there would be any purebreds during this day and age. 2. How has the media contributed to prejudice and discrimination against Asian Americans? How faculty these problems be remedied?The media has contributed to the prejudice and discrimination against Asian American in several ways that demonstrate insensitivity and biased reporting. According to our textbook, the media has had a contradict Impact on the views of Aslant Americans by using Inappropriate clicks, absurd Identity, personalization, using ethnic slurs, biased and inflammatory reporting, bashing their native Japan, media Invisibility, and even poser nonage which sets the positive standards of Aslant Americans too high (Schaefer, R, T. (2006).Stereotyping them as a model minority creases tenet chances AT acceptance when It comes to social programs, employment, and other social ills (Schaefer, R, T. (2006). Asian Americans ar often times viewed as intentional and successful. Little does society notice that these Asian Americans do not usually hold high corporate positions, rather they are running their low-pitched own business and employ their family, taking care of one other as best they can. The media and even entertainment honchos never embrace Asian Americans as athletes or potential celebrities with mainstream roles. AsianAmericans are never heard and asked for their foreplay when the media is addressing problems in th eir community, as well when it comes to issues regarding Asia (Schaefer, R, T. (2006). These problems of negative portrayal against Asian Americans held by the media can be remedied by first of all overcoming the idea that they are a model minority and realize that they work hard, love their families, sought the joined States to live the American Dream and try to escape poverty. The media can acquire their words wisely refraining from any slur words or phrases such as Asian Invasion or OrientExpress. The media should as well express the increase population in areas of heavy Asian descent I also believe the media should tell or write stories of influence such as Asian Americans striving in America, working 7 days a week to make ends meet. I think the media should exploit the poverty grimace of the Asian American community to help decrease the model minority views so they may be eligible for more minority programs.
