Thesis  To discuss and provide an in-depth explanation of race and ethnicity

Race  “Race is the categorization of parts of a population based on physical appearance due to particular historical social and political forces”  Sociologically: Defined by appearance  No clear standards for determining a race

Race  Racial categories differ between societies and different nations

Ethnicity  Having distinct cultural characteristics  Sub-cultural group of a multicultural society  Culture is taught and passed down from generation to generation (can change over time)

What is the Difference?  Many people use race and ethnicity inter-changeably  There are difficulties in measurement

U.S. Census  Persuades people to choose an ethnicity  People choose by primary race and self identification 3oR4Z4

Theories of Prejudice  Scapegoat / Frustration- an individual or group unfairly blamed for someone else's troubles  Authoritarian personality- people who are prejudiced that have a high rating position

Discrimination and Segregation  Discrimination- unfair treatment directed at an individual or group  Types: Individual Institutional

Stereotypes  Negative stereotypes Lazy groups Crime  Positive stereotypes Wealth Job / career

Relating Prejudice and Stereotypes  Genocide- an attempted annihilation of a people based on their race or ethnicity

Population Transfer Direct- ethnic cleansing; forcing people to flee in fear (ex. Relocating Native Americans on to reservations) Indirect- making life so unbearable they voluntarily leave

Conclusion  Race and Ethnicity allow people to be an individual  U.S. is a melting pot  We encourage everyone to accept our differences
