I still wish we could have made a distinction between race, ethnicity, and nationality during our talk. I know that we learned in my Ethics class for example, that sex is actually biological while gender is a societal construct. I wonder which of these is the case with the terms i mentioned before. Plus where does culture come into play here? I feel like I am African American in race, ethnicity, and culture and based on our discussion, I'm not sure if that's actually an accurate description. Lastly, I feel as though there has to be something genetic explanation for many of these questions that we're asking. As i mentioned in my last web paper, scientists believe they may have found a gene in black women that makes them more prone to deadlier breast cancer. I wonder if this suggests a deeper genetic difference between Whites and Blacks than what we have discovered to this day. Again, how does this fit into the equation and what does this mean for the people that identify as different groups within these larger categories?
