- ... criteria of race be equated with mental characteristics (intelligence, personality, and character). Races arose in response to mutation, selection, geographic adaptation, and genetic drift; racial differentiation occurred relatively late in history. In the 19th and early 20th century, Joseph Arthur Gobineau and Houston Stewart Chamberlain attributed cultural and psychological values to race, proposing theories of racial superiority, an approach that culminated ... emphasized to people around the world. This would create unity the world over simply by pointing out that race does not exist. In order to fully understand this concept, the history of the word “race” must be analyzed. Throughout history, it is a matter of observation that people are not alike in appearance; there are variations in the external physical characteristics transmitted wholly or partially from parent to child. ...

- ... in the Deep South In the essay, Indians, Contact, and Colonialism in the Deep South, Joel W. Martin addresses the advantages to re-thinking and establishing our ideas about the history of Indians. In Martin’ opinion, in light of our postcolonial discoveries and altered ways of viewing our historical involvement with the Indians, we might come to many new conclusions about ... Martin expresses this view early in his article as he writes; “We can progress from narratives that ignore uneven power relations to those that explain how these relations affected religious history and historiography.

Equally natural, is the ... method of persuasion by political figures, multinational corporate advertising, and the upper 2% of the elite, who have an interest in controlling public opinion. Newspapers and radio experienced this same history, but are now somewhat obsolete in the science of changing public opinion. Though I do not suspect television to become completely obsolete within the next 20 years, I do see the Internet being used by the same political figures, multinational corporations, and upper 2% elite, for the same purposes. At this time, in the Internet's young history, it is largely unregulated, and can be accessed and changed by any person with a computer and a modem; no license required, and no need for millions of dollars ...

Americans have developed a distinct disposition toward the freedom of expression throughout history. The First Amendment clearly voices a great American respect toward the freedom of religion. It also prevents the government from "abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." Since the early history of our country, the protection of basic freedoms has been of the utmost importance to Americans. In Langston Hughes' poem, "Freedom," he emphasizes the struggle to enjoy the freedoms that ... in this case the principles of free speech have been abused because young children can purchase and listen to this obscene music.
