Discussion: Prejudice, Assimilation, and Discrimination in a Global Context

The interaction of diverse racial and ethnic groups throughout the world is often associated with a history of prejudice and conflict. Many factors have contributed to the nature of this interaction such as colonialism, modernization, economic competition, labor demands, language, religion, ideology, and national policies. South Africa and Brazil provide contrasting cases studies. Understanding their recent history can be instructive in informing how race and ethnic challenges are addressed in other parts of the world.

In this week’s Discussion, you will analyze the historical background and treatment of racial and ethnic groups within South Africa, Brazil, or a country of your choosing, other than the country where you currently reside.

Note: In Week 3 and Week 4 Discussions, you are required to choose different racial or ethnic groups to analyze (a United States group in Week 3 and a Non-United States group in Week 4). For your Course Project you must use one of the groups you chose in either Week 3 or 4 to be the focus of your analysis.

To prepare:

  • Choose South Africa, Brazil, or an alternative choice (excluding Canada).
  • Review this week’s Learning Resources.
  • Consider the issues related to the group you chose with regard to their experience of prejudice, discrimination, and assimilation.

By Day 3

Post an analysis of the country you chose by addressing the following:

  • Identify the country’s major racial or ethnic groups.
  • Analyze the historical background and treatment of that country’s racial or ethnic groups, highlighting 2–3 important economic, social, and political forces that have shaped their experiences and/or pivotal events that were key turning points.
  • Provide 2–3 examples of discrimination or other social challenges that help shed light on the historical realities of race and ethnic interactions.
  • Compare the participation rates, employment levels, and income levels of the major racial or ethnic groups in that country.
  • Analyze 1–2 key policies that seek to address racial and ethnic issues.
  • Analyze foreseeable challenges this country might face as a result of emerging trends in racial and ethnic interactions.

Risk Assessment

Risk Assessment

Briefly answer the following questions. Use facts and examples to support your position. Use APA style for any references.

When you deliver risk ratings for your organization, you must use the organization’s risk preferences instead of your own risk preferences. This is because risk assessment is for finding the organization’s risk tolerance and not your personal risk tolerance.

  1. What is the risk posture for each individual system as it contributes to the overall riskposture of the organization?
  2. How does each attack surface add up to a system’s particular risk posture? These include capabilities, methods and goals of any protections, particularly in the presence of an active threat agent.
  3. In addition, how do all the systems’ risk sum up to an organization’s computer security risk posture?
