Race as a social construct


Essay, 2016

4 Pages, Grade: 8.9


Abstract or Introduction

As many social anthropologists have observed, daily human lives have been defined by race irrespective of whether they agree with the analogy or not. The world is seen through the lens of African, Arab, Caucasian, Mexican or other tags that daily inundate our televisions. How we label others is very critical on how important decisions are made concerning their lives. The lenses through which we define others determine who to hire, who gets the supervisory role, which gets the menial jobs and defines who lives in which neighborhood. Human beings deny it all the time but with demonstrations in the United States cities tagged along the lines of “black lives matter,” the social construct of race has not left human beings.

Notes
This paper is all about the variant perspectives and social differences that variation in race brings about in society. It's from the concepts discussed herein that we get to understand how competition among different races began, the origin of racism and why some races feel superior to others. The general comments from the tutor on this paper was satisfactory and it contributed a great deal towards the award of a diploma to the author. There are no appendices included. The reader would definitely love the flow of words and how the ideas are dispensed in a smooth and easy to understand manner.
