Stereotypes Of African-American Youths
[ send me this essay ]
12 pages in length. Back in the 1930's, when being an African-American gangster meant more than just arbitrarily killing another human being, there was a certain mystique -- a veritable charm -- to wearing the tag. As depicted in the film Hoodlum, being a gangster was not a position taken lightly; in fact, there was a lot of social responsibility residing within that special community of individuals. Contrarily, the more contemporary Boyz 'N The Hood demonstrates how the glamour once associated with being a youthful black gangster has been completely removed from the mix. No longer is there a shred of decency among the young men who comprise the raucous gangs of today; rather, their world is merely about killing and maiming as many people as they can. Sadly, the stereotype exhibited in this film is more of art imitating life rather than the other way around. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Stereotypical Portrayals and the Underlying Theme of Capitalism in "The Last of the Mohicans" and "Uncle Tom's Cabin"
[ send me this essay ]
A 6 page contention that the story revealed in James Fennimore Cooper's "The Last of the Mohicans" is essentially the same as that revealed in Harriet Beecher Stowe's "Uncle Tom's Cabin". Both authors, although sympathetic to their respective characters plight, tend to employee stereotyping to convey their points which in reality is little different from the damaging stereotypical images we have held throughout history of both Blacks and Native Americans. While the characters have changed from red to black, societal oppression, aided by a stereotypical view of people who differ from the mainstream, is pivotal to the plot of both of these great classics. No additional sources are listed.

Substance Abuse In The African American Community

With legalization of cocaine and heroin at the turn of the twentieth century, the temptation was made much easier to indulge; by the 1950s, there was a preponderance of black junkies.
