What is Race?

A race is a group of specific, physical differences that other groups don't have. Races generally accumulate in specific geographical locations. Race does not have to do with genetics. Diving people into different races also comes with determining what rights and freedoms people of those races should have. People often judge others based on their race. Some people often think their race is superior to another, but the truth is, there is no subspecies of humans. There are no races that are biologically inferior to another, despite what some people believe. Race is more than skin color because people also associate race with other physical characteristics such as eye shape, hair texture, lip shape, or physical and mental abilities.

This person has gone through extensive education, yet they still can't find a job, and the jobs that are available don't pay enough to support a life. In a more fair situation, everyone would be able to find jobs for the profession they are passionate about, and these jobs would pay well. This person obviously is very educated and probably was a part of a higher class, but now that they can't have a job in which they are well qualified for, their social class drops. I chose this image because it kinds of scares me that I can go through so much education and work really hard and still get screwed over by the job market.

Alvin can't afford a college education and cannot get a good paying job without having a college education, so he is stuck in a very bad cycle. In a more fair situation, FAFSA would be more accommodating and cover all need based aid. This person is going to be a part of the lower class due to his lack of education and lack of job experience. However, if Alvin had enough financial aid to pay for college, he may have gotten a better job after and moved up on the social class ladder. I chose this image because I'm in the process of financial aid and figuring out how to afford college.
