show racism the red card'
. Introduction The following report is part of the module In-Company Project which is to complete the Bachelor in Management at the University . The project is in cooperation with the campaign 'show racism the red card'. Show Racism the Red Card is an anti-racist charity which was established in January 1996 with the aim of using Professional footballers as anti-racist role models. Although racism is on the decline in professional football, it is unfortunately on the increase in British and indeed European society. The aim of the campaign is to combat racism through anti-racist education and professional footballers are showing the way in terms of making a stand and fighting racism. (www.srtrc.org) The contribution of the project is a research study about the entry barriers for black and ethnic minorities to enter in a football club, especially for the youth. It attempts to identify the fundamental reasons why so few football players in Scotland are from ethnic minorities. The research study covers selected clubs from the Scottish Premier League (SPL) 2. Aim & Objectives The aim of the project is: Try to find reasons - or even hypotheses - as to why so few football players in Scotland are from ethnic minorities. The real difficulty lies indeed not in determining what objectives we need, but in deciding how to set them. There is only one fruitful way to make this
Racism - a christian perspective.
R.E Coursework Racism - Section A i) Racism has been and still is one of the biggest problems in the world. Due to racism, prejudice and discrimination which are often linked with racism, millions of people have had their lives ruined if not ended. Most of the people in the world today would like to see the end of racism, prejudice and discrimination. The 'Oxford Study Dictionary' describes racism as: . "Belief in the superiority of a particular race." 2. "Antagonism towards people of other races." When racism is put into practice and someone makes an unfair difference in the treatment of different categories of people, especially on the grounds of religion, race or sex it is called 'discrimination.' Prejudice is when someone has a predetermined belief about someone of a different religion, race or sex that is not based on reason or an actual experience. It is also when someone displays unjust behaviour towards the individual or group of people because of their predetermined belief. Unfortunately there have been a lot of racism in the past, and it is still very present in today's world. A very large scale of racism occurred in World War II. Hitler, the German dictator, was filled with hatred for the Jewish people. During the course of the war, at least six million Jews were brutally murdered by Hitler and his army. A more recent example of racism is the Stephen

I plan to investigate different areas of parables. Starting from what the term parable mean. Then I will move my studies to discussing the meaning and relevance of parables to Christians today. From there I will focus my work on debating about whether parables are still relevant today. GCSE Religious Coursework Question ai - what is meant by the term parable? In the dictionary the term parable is described as "a story told to illustrate a moral or spiritual truth". The term parable also has a more significant meaning to it. Parables are some of the best stories, which are known to us from Jesus. There are many different parables or stories such as "the good Samaritan" or "the lost sheep". The word "parable" means "to put beside" or "to compare" and it describes a type of story, which has a parallel meaning that you could put along side it. The word "parable" derives from the Greek word "parobles". These stories were not fantasy tales but
Women and Man are Equal in Gods Eyes
Women and Man are Equal in Gods Eyes The role of women is arguably a sensitive subject in today's society. The subject becomes even more critical when the question of what is a women's role in ministry, and are they even allowed to teach, preach and be spiritual leaders in church and in the community that they live in. In order to understand the discussion over women's role in a church, I will discuss the predominant positions held when it comes to women in the church, its history, and other writings that may have influenced the view of women. In considering the history of the early Church, we must address the issue of whether or not women were ever present in leadership roles. As we look back to the history of the early Church, we do se that "women served together with men in the early years until institutionalization of the church transformed leadership into the sole prerogative of men."1 We see in the second and third centuries how women ministered and baptized, and how they cared for the congregation and needs of their people,2 even far from the second century show women performing ministry functions. The history of women performing ministry functions presets a fact that women were exercising some type of leadership function in the early church. The question must arise whether this type of leadership is arguable for the leadership and role of women in church
Religion and equality
Religion and equality essay Prejudice means to prejudge some one without sufficient information or knowledge, but it can be an irrational attitude that develops after we have come in contact with a group of people that differ from ourselves. It is a negative cultural attitude, directed against an individual or a group of people that is based on a generalised stereotype. Prejudice is also the belief that a person who we think belongs to a particular group will have certain characteristics. Prejudice can be a method of 'scapegoating' which can be a way of expelling frustrations. Discrimination is an act, behaviour or unequal treatment towards some one based on prejudice, so discrimination is the action following or based on a persons prejudice. Racism and sexism would come under prejudice or discrimination. An example of racism would be any distinction, exclusion, or first choice based on race, colour, national or ethnic origin which has the purpose or effect of getting rid of or lowering their respect. The Bible condemns racism. We can see this by examining Paul's letters, the life and teachings of Jesus and passages from the Old Testament. Paul's letters in the bible rule out racism altogether. He told the Galatians that what matters is faith. It is not the Jews who are Abraham's true descendants, but those who have faith in Jesus. "So there is no difference between Jews

RACISM Part A Introduction Racism is the belief that there are characteristics, abilities, or qualities specific to each race. I have chosen racism as my topic as racism was a destructive reality in the past, and continues to be in a modern society. Although it is often denied, minimized or ignored, racism continues to shatter and destroy many people's lives and I believe that more people should be made aware of this important and controversial issue. I plan to address the nature, different types and reasons for racism, and also describe the teachings of Christianity, including how Christians have not always had a very good record in the history of racism. I am going to address the idea of Christian beliefs being put into action, exploring why Christians believe that fighting against racism and injustice are important, and the different ways in which Christians have fought against racism. I will study different Christians who put their beliefs into action, and discuss what situations they found themselves in, how they overcame difficulties to combat racism and what effect they had on their particular situation. I will also discuss what the Christian Church is doing to combat racism. Finally I am going to give my own opinion on the violent response to racism, and give reasons as to why others may disagree with my views. I will also back up all of my opinions and

Racism. In South Africa a relatively small white population ruled the black majority for hundreds of years. Racism is anything said or done to harm, ridicule or disadvantage someone from another race.
There are over five billion people in the world, living in over 200 countries. We belong to different races, culture and religions. Many people believe that these differences are there to be shared and celebrated. Some people, however use them as an excuse to treat certain people as inferior in some way. Racism exists in all races and cultures. It is more than just believing your own race to be better than someone else's. It is treating people differently and unfairly simply because they belong to another race. Racists usually target those who are in the minority in society, but not always. In South Africa a relatively small white population ruled the black majority for hundreds of years. Racism is anything said or done to harm, ridicule or disadvantage someone from another race. Racism occurs in everyplace -world. In 17th and 18th centuries there were few indentured servants due to the wars in Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries. Also, they only worked for seven years before their contracts were fulfilled and they were free again. Because of these problems and their desire to make a lot of money, Europeans began to enslave Africans. Africa was the only part of the 'known' world that was not controlled by rulers who had weapons as powerful as those of the Europeans. So, from about 1510, the Spaniards and Portuguese began to capture Africans and ship them to the
I have chosen to carry out my investigation on 'racism' - The hypothesis I have set myself is 'Racism is Wrong'.
GCSE Humanities Coursework "Racism is wrong" I have chosen to carry out my investigation on 'racism'. The hypothesis I have set myself is 'Racism is Wrong'. The reason why I have chosen 'Racism' as a part of my investigation is because I have gone through racial harassment and I feel that me being able to do this coursework will let me speak my mind about racism and talk about it in more detailed manner. This means that I will be able to write down my experiences. I personally believe that racism should be eliminated through all walks of life. Be it someone's religion, skin colour or even what language they speak 'racism is wrong' I will use a variety of research methods to help me. These methods should include, Internet, books, writing letters, interviews, surveys and leaflets. The Internet is very good resource for lots of information, it is quick and easy, and the information is of both sides it is also up to date. The disadvantages in using the Internet are that you need to carefully select relevant pieces; the Internet has secondary information and can be biased. Next books, these are easy and reliable but can be biased, books have a wide range of information. But the down side to books is that the information may not be up to date. Books are a source of secondary information. Writing letters is the best way to get primary evidence, it is also up to date.
