Democracy - the word As Americans, we follow a liberal democracy, meaning we elect representatives to exercise the power to make decisions and laws. Under majority rule and popular sovereignty we exercise the right to choose our leaders and those who hold office. However, the United States was never established as a “pure” democracy, which would mean that citizens would have a more direct say in how it’s run. This is why, for example, in the 2000 presidential election, George Bush was named the winner despite there being more individual ballots cast for Al Gore. Many say that the closest form of a “pure” democracy happened in Athens, Greece, where the word originated.

Tell-tale Toys A sense of docile innocence mixed, strangely enough, with fierce sex appeal and beauty hits you the moment you enter the rows filled with girl’s toys. Meanwhile, combative and controlling urges threaten to overwhelm you as you peruse the aisles for the boys. It’s a distinction that’s mixed deep within our culture, ideas that never seem to vanish—men versus women, dominate versus submissive. We, as a society, have created the way these toys look and are advertised, and in the same sense, they have shaped us.

Food Knows No Race As a repercussion of this reality, some would argue that there is an unconscious racism factor involved—when a specific group is disadvantaged due to their race. There are stereotypes that people use as assumptions, whether they brand some African-Americans as the “Lil’ John” type or place Spanish-speakers with the comparable ethnicity of being Mexican. These stereotypes are examples of adopted beliefs that stir up an unconscious racism in the current generation. Once these racial biases become fixed in a person’s mentality, it tends to become a part of their unconscious—an unconscious they can eventually act upon. In the long run, this bias can have a negative affect on minorities and their daily lives, including the workplace. These unconscious biases directly affect the power structure within the workplace, a community where equal opportunity is ideally indisputable.
