Ted C. Fishman's "The Play's The Thing"
[ send me this paper ]
9 pages in length. Finding suitable entertainment options for children and adolescents has long been one of the most challenging aspects of parenthood. In the old days � where criminal activity was something left primarily to the adults � kids found amusement in such seemingly harmless games as stickball, kick the can and pitching pennies in the alleys. Because contemporary society does not permit these types of outside games to exist in many places anymore due to the drastic increase in crime and street gangs, Fishman explains how the high-tech alternative of video games has taken their place to allow young people the opportunity to stretch their aptitude, become savvy to things they might not otherwise be exposed and escape into the all-important sphere of imagination � all in the safety of their own homes.

The African Diaspora and Its Women
[ send me this paper ]

In general, they have retained their unique African identities but there are, of course, necessary changes made in order to become an accepted part of their new lives and environments. The report also addresses issues of particular concern regarding the women of the African diaspora. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

The African-American Experience During the Days of Booker T. Washington
[ send me this paper ]
This 6 page report discusses the events taking place during Booker T. Washington�s (1856-1915) lifetime. He was not alone in his efforts to change the lives of former slaves and their children and grandchildren. In fact, he was only one reformer in many and one which others often disagreed. While Washington seems to have almost single-handedly changed the perceptions of many (at least those whose vision was not clouded by racial prejudice) 19th century white and black Americans regarding the potential of �Negroes,� he was not alone in his efforts to bring education, justice, and opportunity for other African Americans.

The Concept of Racial Inferiority: Organizational Perpetuation
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page overview of racism as it has existed since the nineteenth century when anthropology, medicine, psychology, and sociology all became vehicles of racism as they proposed and supported theories which perpetuated disenfranchisement and segregation. Even the concept of evolution itself indirectly supported the predominant feeling that there was a hierarchical relationship between the races from the primitive to the advanced. The author of this paper presents the contention that our everyday classroom activities and even our standardized educational tests perpetuate the age-old institution of racism.

The Construct of Ethnicity as revealed in Nella Larsen�s �Quicksand�, Amy Tan�s �The Joy Luck Club�, and Toni Morrison�s �Paradise�
[ send me this paper ]
A 15 page discussion of ethnicity as it is reflected in these three novels. The author of this paper emphasizes that the constructs of ethnicity be interpreted in either positive or negative ways. Larsen�s novel, for example, provides us with a glimpse of the many negativities associated with being of mixed white and black heritage in the 1920s while Morrison�s novel reveals that even all-black communities and the individuals that live within them can be fraught with trouble and dissent. Amy Tan�s �The Joy Luck Club�, however, provides a much more positive look at the challenges and potential rewards which can be associated with ethnicity. No additional sources are listed.
