Document Summary
Studying racial issues: one race is proven to be smarter and there begins to be discrimination/mockery of that race. Gender issues: one gender is proven to be smarter and then that one gender is pushed down in terms of jobs/opportunities/education. Philip rushman studied the fact that some races are different in terms of things like intelligence and sexuality. However, it was quite racist and there were protests. He claimed that a social group may have certain means that they focus around: a disparate group would have children that are closer to the mean, extremely smart parents would have average children and vice versa. The counter to that: if god bestowed intelligence, where did god get intelligence etc. etc. Intelligence is often spoken of someone being intelligent or not. However, athletes may be considered intelligent" (successful) in one sport and stupid" (unsuccessful) in another. Factors were found to be relating to intelligence.
