    Was Othello of African or Arabic descent? In the famous play Othello by William Shakespeare the topic of Othello’s ethnicity is a very widely discussed topic.

The main points people who believe that he was

In normal cases‚ jurors are asked to stay away from the media and to avoid anything outside of the information that they are given that could sway their vote.

    Even though most people believe that the jury system is a necessity to having a fair trial‚ I believe the exact opposite. I believe that the jury is made up of 12 people that have no clue what they are even doing there. Ben Shapiro‚ a writer from The Patriot Post once wrote‚” The problem with juries is that they are generally composed of the 12 people stupid enough to get out of jury duty.” I say that if we want to keep the jury system around‚ we have to make improvement to it. We need to educate

    Race and Ethnicity ENG125 September 23‚ 2013 Race and Ethnicity The two literary works that I have chosen were “Country Lovers” and “What It’s like to be a Black Girl”‚ to me they share the same theme of Race and Ethnicity. Country Lovers was a really good short story that described lovers of the country.

    Alyssa Krajewski 10/02/2012 Society and Global Diversity Race and Ethnicity The people of American are still fighting each day to get rid of the word prejudice. Prejudice is an unsupported generalization about a category of people. Being prejudice leads to stereotyping‚ this leads to racism. Why do people judge other people by the color of their skin? Why do they think their race is more superior? Black people are judged because they were once slaves; the fact that they were owned by white
