Attention Shoppers" by Michelle Serros is a short story that uses humor to critique the experience of two Latina girls shopping for vegetables in the frozen food section. One girl complains that so-called Latin Style Vegetables are cut up in tiny pieces and are implicitly labeled as being lower in quality than Malibu Style Vegetables that are presumably intended for Caucasians. This starts a revolt in the frozen produce section -- for example, Asian shoppers are similarly outraged at Oriental Style Vegetables. The story ends on a somewhat ambiguous note -- clearly, Martina has a point but on the other hand the girls leave without the vegetables they needed and ironically they lose the ability to make the Spanish-style rice they originally intended to make (a name which Martina was not outraged about when they entered the grocery store).

Q3. Unequal opportunity race
The history of racism in the United States has created a system of unequal opportunities for...
Although some people advocate simply treating all people the same, the fact is that certain members of specific groups have had fewer opportunities than others; this has resulted in inhibited access to better schooling and jobs which becomes a self-perpetuating cycle of injustice. Until this cycle is broken with more people being offered a chance to make incursions into the middle class through affirmative action and other opportunity programs, simply treating everyone the same will not be enough.
Q4. What is your main responsibility when writing?
I believe that my main responsibility when writing is to tell the truth as I see it. This means being honest about myself and my perspective on the world. This also means being clear in the way I communicate my perspective to the reader. Presenting both sides of an argument makes me a more effective communicator and writer. Writing is also a way of examining some of my assumptions and listening to how they sound when put down in black and white.

In Lincoln's view, the experiment could only succeed through the preservation of the Union without secession; he resolved to restore the rebellious states to the Union and all else would fall to this goal. But the war was very hard and very long, and war by its nature lowers the status of peripheral principles and elevates the central principles in dispute." (Kleinfeld, 1997) Lincoln provided the means for emancipation from

" Real Americans support the right of religious people to worship, and would never base legislation on a religious conviction rather than a conviction based on constitutional rights, constitutional law, and Enlightenment ethics. American political identity is continually changing also because of the incredible ethnic and cultural diversity within the nation's borders. When gender, sexual identity, socio-economic class, and other factors are also included in the mix, America's political philosophy is
The conservative objection to stem cell research are predicated in the rigid and unquestioning adherence to religious values that may once have represented tenable ideas, but that are patently ridiculous in the light of modern scientific understanding of human biology and genetics. As a result, at least eight years of tremendously valuable medical research has been irretrievably lost to federal regulations that prohibited federal funding to the most important applications
