Race and ethnicity

Race is the classification of individuals into groups based on various physical traits. Racism is an aspect dominated from human nature whereby according to the New Zealand history it occurred as an invasion as well as depression. It was mainly considered as the key allotment of individuals thus; encompasses the civilization as well as physical qualities. It was from racism that the foundation of colonialism was developed thereby; lead to New Zealand slavery. Race is an aspect that appears as the main omission in U.S thus; it is differentiated by the cause of behavior as well as integrity. Recently racism has resulted into a criminal act that, in New Zealand the victims of racism are confined in various country’s prison. Race is the concept of dividing individuals into segments on basis of various sets of physical individuality (Jones, 2017).

Ethnicity involves a group of community, whose people are able to identify each other on the basis of nationality as well as traditional. Ethnicity aspects are shared cultural traits plus shared individuals groups. Other ethnic groups share linguistic as well as religious treads. Societies hold ethical actions which maximizes their ethical actions as well as its worth. Ethnicity is an aspect highly known to have developed from the current world whereby; its aptitude predicts wrong and good. Ethnicity considers individuals who perform certain activities in order to benefit others. It is an aspect that considers two different ways whereby; women are treaded different from men. Ethnic is an act highly associated with prediction of the future thereby; individual’s choice is aimed at benefiting the society. Based on sociological aspects, ethnicity is meant to act on moral based effects on human rather than the objectives (Jones, 2017).

New Zealand Exceptional highly illustrates examples of races thus; generating the traits of the black people in the country. An example of race is: Everyone’s identity is made in personal characters which are influenced by family and the society. Every activity individuals’ carry gives their identity thus; one is underprivileged and the same person can be prosperous. Racism refers to the way of life to a specific group of individuals. It is easily identified in the way of eating, beliefs, values and different customs followed like dressing designs and personal decoration. Culture is passed from one generation to the other mainly through the process of socialization. There are different concepts and definition of cultures despite the aspects of life shared daily by individuals. Cultures emerge from a society which is divided into villages and people shares similar way of life (McLennan, McManus, & Spoonley, 2014).

Race is a problematic word since it has no respect for any boundary thereby; a community which is well to be self-sustaining is capable of producing a new generation without relying on people from outside. Each culture has an identity defined by the race. Racism issues have got various ways of identification, especially where subculture involves a group of people who have different ideologies especially talents. Subcultures burgeon because of hereditary needs for individuals’ in the society. Individuals in such society have many differences but with various common aspects in life (May, 2002).

High ethnicity is quite culture identification. It involves form of cultural art especially in art. It is the culture of the elites like the aristocracy. High ethnicity is important in describing the body of cultural skills. It is a civilization which has no social set up but considers professional which people have inherited and practiced through skills. Some cultures are only a group on individuals while others are open for everyone to join. Limiting various expressions means expressing the unique perspective on life and understanding the diversity of culture. Creativity in individuals is an important factor to the values.  Culture can also be a heritage site especially if the site is affected by change and cannot be reversed (Jones, 2017).

Ethnicity unlike Race is more importance because, it regulates human life and identity for example some customs are termed as superstition. The superstitions are believed to be the act which influences certain events either positive or negative. On the other hand race is an aspect passed from one generation to the other mainly through the process of socialization. There are different concepts and definition of cultures despite the aspects of life shared daily by individuals. Understanding and valuing cultures makes it better for one to form a complex identity which is defined by ethnicity (Jones, 2017).

Culture understanding reflects mainly on human activities. A good example of culture is belief.  People are wide, small, tall and with different colors that wear various types of clothes and live different lifestyle yet we all believe in one God. The belief in God defines the culture; there are others who believe in other thing and other doesn’t. Culture provides a diverse way of interpreting the environment as well as relating various people like some are poor while others are wealthy. Ethnicity is also essential since it generates identification of culture and, it is generated by local societies which are rooted through experience, customs and belief. The ethnic groups mainly focus on traditional practices which are believed to be the presentations of both the modern and rural lifestyles. Folk ethnicity promotes cultural diversity and uniqueness of a region giving it the identity (Jones, Pringle, & Shepherd, 2013).

 

Assumptions have been made that, race and colonialism are the representation on individual’s physical differences .Racism appears as the major exception in New Zealand whereby; it difference was the cause of behavior and integrity. Though colonialism was major New Zealand problem, racism still is a reproductive ethnic stereotype. Ethnicity is an aspect highly known to have developed from the current world whereby; its aptitude predicts wrong and good. Ethnicity considers individuals who perform certain activities in order to benefit others. In the recent days, racism has been turned into a criminal act whereby the victims are incarcerated in the State prison across the country. However, the criminal justice system has failed that, no crime is accomplished without the acknowledgement of cultural or ethical discrepancy (Harris, Cormack,Tobias,Yeh,Talamaivao, Minster &Timutimu, 2012).

Racism and other connected distinctiveness can be a powerful source of cohesion, but with the strong criminal justice in the nation the power is limited. The criminal and justice department is filled with internment and racism, whereby the New Zealand are unaware of it. The societies are also spoiled with the race discrimination habit whereby, the first image of a criminal is of the black. The only thing that keeps the racist strong in this land is their knowledge on how the law works. Many individuals especially the blacks were horrified by the brutality of racism and, were so eager to stop it. Race and ethnicity has a strong bond because, they generates a characteristic of everyday life for the black individuals in the nation. According to History 1301 on New Zealand history racism lead to un-ease interaction between different people, racial oppression and slavery. However, life was made harder especially on the exceptions where, they could not accept slavery as a fact. Historic records suggest that slavery is the major system of race and colonial relation (Pearson, 2015).

In recent days the society have treated racism as a built in as well as, natural product of racism. The historical relation between the two shows that, individual differences have been generated by disrespect toward other individuals. Assumptions have been made that, race and colonialism are the representation on individual’s physical differences (Lipsey, 2016)
