@LexisWilliams1 I think the way of thinking for many students would change because they would become more open to learning and having a desire to understand rather than to judge

[Jordan Scheessele @JordanS221]

@seherman23 I tweeted about this and I think this is a great Segway into figuring the long lasting prejudices that are not spoken of, but acted on

[Jordan Scheessele @JordanS221]

@johnjackjake this is very interesting to think about and we kept them in the country as well, having it being suffocated and not studied in our education shows how we almost want to keep it under wraps like it never happened

[Jordan Scheessele @JordanS221]

@karrnicole_soc and knowing that it is a fear, there are attacks on other in order to keep their dominate status and position in society

[Jordan Scheessele @JordanS221]

@GJanosky it would be interesting to look into the "why" of this, could it be because of crime rates or success in any way?

[Jordan Scheessele @JordanS221]

@alexismckenzie_ and knowing that views as such have continued from our past, what view are we creating in today's life that may continue to be seen when our children grow up?

"Though the crude extreme racism of the yellow peril literature has faded in time, many of the underlying prejudices continue as a subcurrent in US culture"p222 it is in these stories and understandings that come the unconscious and underlying prejudice & discrimination #NQsoc221

[Jordan Scheessele @JordanS221]

"They were inferiors and yet also possessed certain features that made them threats to the country: ambitious, unknown, cruel, violent" p.221 because a certain population was seen to be a threat (in a power position view) they were treated differently and stereotyped #NQSoc221

[Jordan Scheessele @JordanS221]

"Asians were seen as racial inferiors who would somehow weaken the moral or social fabric of the country" p219 looking at this, it comes across as Americans almost wanting an "perfect race" or Aryan race to fit a look or lesser treatment would be shown #NQSoc221

[Jordan Scheessele @JordanS221]

"Opponents of Chinese immigration saw Chinese people as genetically or culturally unfit and as undesirable residents of the United States."p.213 W/out knowing the full story on the culture of a population, the passing of judgement shows there is no outlook to understand #NQSoc21

@LexisWilliams1 knowledge is power, but power in understanding should be more important

[Jordan Scheessele @JordanS221]

@JeanetteLevin the ignorance of American employers on cultural understanding hurts the workplace in many ways

[Jordan Scheessele @JordanS221]

@Jasmine83200507 This should be the headline in all people's need to understand what they don't know, BEFORE they pass judgement

[Jordan Scheessele @JordanS221]

@Kaitigrand_ its the understanding and the political structures that get in the way

[Jordan Scheessele @JordanS221]

@alexismckenzie_ we use countries for good or for them to need something from us, the US must benefit from all it does, even at the cost of other nations

[Jordan Scheessele @JordanS221]

@JeanetteLevin and knowing that we restricted one of their religious rights is unfair and upsetting, we have freedoms from the BoR, they should in turn have the same

[Jordan Scheessele @JordanS221]

" Although there is a broad consensus in the US about a renewed importance of Middle East area studies, debates continue about how the region should be defined and the purposes to which knowledge about it should be put" p212 #NQSoc221

[Jordan Scheessele @JordanS221]

Pulling from pages 210-11, its stated that much of the territory divisions and disputes were set up by the commonalities of the area at the time, focused in their belief system and the structure that comes with it #NQSoc221

[Jordan Scheessele @JordanS221]

"Knowledge of another group's culture can give an advantage in social interactions and scientific knowledge, in the hands of the dominate group, it bestows coercive power over the other people" p207 this is interesting bc why doesn't understanding mean equality NQSoc221

[Jordan Scheessele @JordanS221]

"Typically individuals or groups with some form of social power determine what constitutes conventional wisdom and the parameters of legitimate debate on any topic"p206 Those that"determine"what is legitimate or not need to be informed and not working through an agenda #NQSoc221
