i have to do a paper covering the above mentioned topics / questions.... i have started already, but need more concrete sources / information to further fortify and add structure to my essay; rather, re stipulating what i said in the last paragraph in the new one.

None of the above.

Learn to love yourself and you will find in time that you will be able to love and tolerate even....................................... an ant.

Answer 2

unfortunetly all species were not created equal.  if that were so we would all have the same of everything.  it does not take a genious to look at the global standings of iq"s and realize it is a fact that some are more intelligent as a people than others.  just look around, it's obvious.  are we going to ignore this fact forever?  it's time for some one to stop trying to be pollitically correct and be absolutley honest.  try that for a change,  how bout it?

Answer 3

All of the above are not only the basis for development in minority groups, but for all groups of people.

The building blocks of Ethnicity are:

1) Common Origins/ Shared Homeland

2) Common/ Shared History and Mythology

3) Common/ Shared Religion

4) Common/ Shared Culture and Traditions

5) Shared Language

Ethnicity follows the 3 C's of culture Change/ Conflict/ Conformity

Ethnicities are always changing, hence are flexible and dependent mainly upon the building blocks listed.

Good luck with explaining the legal/social steps... ;)
