    This research paper identifies how past racism in America is connected to the current racism that people of color face and experience through oppression and disparities. Racism is manifested through all of the social, economic, educational, and political institutions in America. Traditional racism has been transformed, hidden, and replaced under symbolic, colorblind, and liberal racisms that benefit white America.

    As a society, we are preoccupied with the idea of perfection. We look up to those in magazines, in sports, and on TV. Our society is essentially one large competition. We compete for everything, whether it be a job, a grade, or a spot on a team. To be competitive is to be human, but we then ask ourselves: how far will we take this need to be superior? Some may draw the line at taking regular, over-the-counter supplements. Others may be willing to risk their health in order to improve their physical appearance as well as performance. Working out and dieting aside, many every-day gym goers, as well as professional athletes, have resorted to taking anabolic-androgen steroids. Anabolic-androgen steroids are a form of synthesized testosterone, the male hormone responsible for muscle growth and male-specific characteristics. The use of steroids has been proven to increase athletic performance while increasing muscle size and strength. However, one expert and his colleagues claims that “approximately one to three million users in the United States have abused the drug” in order to gain the sought-after “edge” over their competition (Sjoqvist 1872).…

This could be reflected by the fact that men were given school education if they chose to do so. Females who wanted to write had to have a male pen name. * Females were primarily educated at home by governesses in the fields of home economics and fine arts. This included music, cooking, sewing, painting etc. Mary and Miss. Darcy are both accomplished pianists. * Mannerism played a pivotal role in determining one’s social standing. Wealth didn’t determine all of one’s status. * "Oh, certainly. No woman can be really esteemed accomplished who does not also possess a certain something in her air, in her manner of walking, in the tone of her voice, her address and expressions."
