=Aspects of Race: =

Race is used as ethnic intensifiers. It classifies people into different groups and brings out their differences. There are two ways of classifying race that we know of today, the biological and the sociological. There is a lot of controversy with the issue of race is real, and if so what does it mean. I took a deeper look into those different aspects of race and what I found was interesting. Something to keep in mind while thinking about race is that there is not concrete answer to what race is or how it affects humans. While taking a deeper look in race, I am really taking a deeper look at the opinions of different people around the world.




 * Sociological:**

The sociological part of race is very opinionated in how people think. This social concept of race changes over time. There are many different ways people view "race". Different color, appearance, culture, language all implies a different eace. The surprising fact about ancient civilizations dealing with race is, they too judged people based on skin color. An example of this is with the Egyptians. They distinguished "their people" from the outsiders based on what they looked like. CITE Have you ever wondered where the word barbarian came from? The greeks used the word barbarian to describe people of a different culture. Race has existed as far back as we know. Even though race existed in the ancient civilizations, it is not comparable to the color prejudice we have today in the modern world.



Race is dealing with a sociological part is a group of people grouped together based on their socially significant elements of their morphology and their ancestry. Based on what some students and professors have researched at Dayton University, race is neither an essence nor an illusion. It is yet, an ongoing, contradictory, self-reinforcing process. We, as citizens, of the United States and the world have made race what it is today. As shown above in the previous paragraph, race has always existed in the world based on how people are. It is natural to judge someone based on what they look like. Over the years race has changed what it means in the society, and it will keep changing for the years to come.



Biological:

There are three explanations that seperate race using biological reasoning. The first explanation is by Charles Darwin. It says that the variations in hereditary traits enable some members of a population to survive and have more offspring that inherit more parental traits. The second explanation which is the most common is gene flow. This happens when people from one population mate with people from another. Gene flow has become more popular over the yeras. This is because racial acceptance has increased over the years. The last explanation for biological differences in race is genetic drift. This means one generation moves from one geographical area to another. This causes the next generation to maybe differ from the parental population in some genetic characteristics, such as sickle cell disease.

A lot of people believe that the idea that there is a "biological" part to race is used to justify and rationalize the unequal treatment of groups of "races" by others. I believe that race is used to justify inequalities or situations. According to Alan Temleton, professor of biology in Arts & Sciences at Washington University, there is not enough genetic differences between different groups of people to say that there are races.

 ​ What's next: I would like to go more in depth with the race topic. I would like to find out more information on the topic of race from the past. I have focused a lot on the modern world so far. I would like to find personal accounts on how socially race has affected people and how they deal with it. After I go into more depth with the social part, I would like to look at why some people believe there is a biological part to race and why some don't. ​
