Susan Sontag's "In Plato Cave" as applied to Yves Klein's photograph, "Leap into the void" According to Susan Sontag, photographs possess tremendous power. "Photographs alter and enlarge our notions of what is worth looking at and what we have a right to observe" (Sontag 3)
The gendered roles of a family define the "ie" of the Japanese family. The exemplified execution of the household duties among members of a family attests to the social construction of the "ie" by the Japanese families (Fujimura-Fanselow, Kumiko 65)
" The continuity of the family structure signifies the ability of the family members in working together and playing their roles within a family set up. However, the wake of the World War II saw the abolition of the "ie" as the legal unit of the Japanese family (Helm, Leslie 299)
The constant changes of the Japanese family structure, roles, and marriage system as explained in the nuclearization theory attests to the challenges most face in understanding their family and marriage life. Demographic transitions witnessed over the last four decades also compound to the challenges people encounter in the quest of understanding the family and marriage structure of the Japanese people (Kumagai 87)
Different generations of the "ie" had specified roles as specified by the Confucian principles of benevolence and loyalty. For example, the young generations perceived their duty as loyalty to their parents for providing them with benevolence (Peterson 187)
The traditional view of the structure of the family in Japan shares great similarities with the view of most of the countries globally. As such, the similarities translate to the inability of the family structures to conform to the reality of the needs of the family (Takemaru, Naoko 145)
As such, this shows that nearly all of the Japanese people marry at a point in their lifetime. Therefore, irrespective of the social and economic challenges that face the Japanese population, a larger percentage must enter into the marriage institution at a point of their lifetime (Tokuhiro, Yoko 234)
Thiroux D'arconville, for example, "insisted that the female skull was smaller in proportion." (Schiebinger, 207) That women had smaller skulls was seen as a sort of natural mandate for less education and rights for them
Rather, my goal was to illustrate that this negative attitude towards blacks was neither natural, nor instinctual, nor dominant at first, but rather that it came from a cycle that historian Winthrop D. Jordan pointed out once in place was automatically self-reinforcing, and that to "understand where that attitude came from we must not look to black people, but rather at the Englishmen who enslaved them, since the black man was not fully a slave for the Englishmen until they enslaved him (Jordan)
It is also indicative of the question which frames the question as "opinions of Native Americans" and then "opinions of blacks" as though the two histories did not overlap. In fact, studies show that in South Carolina, which was for most of American history the center of slavery, in 1708 its population included 3,960 free whites, 4,100 African slaves, 1,400 Indian slaves and 120 indentured servants, so rather than deal with the American view of race as separate narratives, since they really are not, I am dealing with them as overlapping narratives that stem from a similar source (Loewen)

To be non-white is to be racialized in an anti-black world. To be raceless is to be 'pushed up toward whiteness (Root)
While on the one hand there is a steady undercurrent that many Colonists viewed Native American's in pejorative terms: "Can anyone call the name of a single pure Indian of the Barbarous tribes who -- except in death, like a wild cat -- has done anything worthy of remembrance?" wrote Josiah C. Nott in 1854's, "Types of Mankind: Or, Ethnological Researches (Schmidt)," while U
This question holds the de-facto assumption that to be 'American' means to be of white European descent. This is a position held not only by racist Tea Partiers hurling out the N-word to members of Congress at the healthcare protests, but also by most white Americans: a series of studies by psychologists Mahzarin Banaji and Thierry Devos in which volunteers were asked to associate either prominent people of color, or prominent white foreigners with an American identity found "that on a subconscious level people were using ethnicity as a proxy for American identity and equating whites -- even white foreigners -- with things American" (Vedantam) (Stein)

Journalist Andy Coghlan reports on a study of twins conducted by the Institute of Psychiatry at King's College in the UK that claims academic success is based more on a child's genetic makeup than the environment the child is growing up in. The researchers tested 5,474 sets of twins -- 2,008 of those sets were identical -- and determined that in the subjects of English, Math and Science, in 58% of the cases, genetics at a greater impact than environment (Coghlan, 2013)

Research conducted by the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD) reflects that 30 to 50% of a child's behavior is based on DNA and the rest on the environment a child is raised in (Jensen, 2009)
nurture argument. Best Practices for Improving Academic Performance in Children A scholarly article reports that for kindergarten children, academic performance can be enhanced through the use of memory strategies; when a child is given tasks that increase his memory capacity that becomes a resource for future learning (Ray, et al
So, memory enhancement and behaviors that are based on goals are best practices vis-a-vis academic success. Meanwhile, a study of 657 elementary students that were at-risk academically determined that those students who lived in homes where there was consistent conflict underachieved in school (Split, et al
