Comparative Analytical Sociobiography

Introduction

After many years of immigration, Britain has become a melting pot for people all over the world with a wide-range of races and ethnicities. Although American culture emphasizes diversity and equal opportunity, its unique history of immigration has shown that people of different races are not "created equal." The White race is dominating throughout all aspects of the Britain society. The Politics of Liberation, institutional discrimination, unequal social resource distribution, and inheritable class immobility are the main causes of the racial inequality.

Discussion

Ethnicity is a sense of belonging to a particular community whose members share common cultural traditions. Sociologists see this type of classification as the most flexible. It does not rely on biological reasons of explanation but rather points more to persons with common social backgrounds. Ethnicity, like gender and social class is essential in the shaping of social identity because whether we like to admit it or not we are greatly influenced by the people surrounding us. Like the fact that the white North American child born into the middle class will most likely receive a better chance at a highly paid job than their Latin American middle class peers, what society classifies us as will determine who we are in the future, no matter what we say to the contrary.

Social identity is the acceptance of who we are, and reciprocally, other people's understanding of themselves. The ever changing culture we live in influences the way language develops and the way it is used by different people in society. The principles of a society is reflected in the manner in which language is used, and since children learn their words and way of speech form their parents, they ultimately learn their values, prejudices and expectations from their as well. As result, the principles of society are passed down from parent to child and ultimately passed down from generation to generation. One way in which language has shaped social identity is by teaching individuals to behave in a certain way and describe the behaviour of others in such as way that is acceptable for their sex, over time society has created gender specific roles.
