An argument for being a poser:
Who are you? People all go through this, I know I personally did in high school. People change who they are so that they could fit into a specific group at school or in society. The society makes people change who they are. They have to change even though society tells people to not change who they are and to be themselves. In a way everyone is role-playing because they are being or acting like something they are not.
The n-word is flourishing among generation hip-hop latinos: Why should we care now?
Listen to any type of hip hop, there will probably the n-word at least once. People have been using it in their music, but now the ones using it more are the hip hop latinos. This is something that has been going on for a while, so the author should not be so surprised. People should not be surprised about this being the word being used.
The end of white America?
The book talked about the famous book The Great Gatsby. There was not much social mobility at that time. It also talked about how there is no more set race in big cities like Hawaii and New York City. Also the white race is decreasing by the years. Soon the white majority will become a minority with the other races increasing.
The Sports Taboo
When people start to play a sport or just do a sport, they must learn the history about it. For example with the sprinters there have been many stereotypes. They had to learn to ignore those. For example a stereotype is that white people can not win a race. That is not true, if they practice well enough they will do good. This is just comparing both a minority and a majority of a race with sports.
Impression management in a networked setting
Impressions are not fully about the person or thing you are seeing, it has to do with you or the person seeing it also. It is a combination of two different things. A couple of those things are norms, culture and context. Impression management has to do with the context of whatever it is.
