He estimated that the comfort level will increase considerably in five to ten years3) One dog has been killed and multiple dogs have been injured by a snowmobile driver in what appears to be an intentional attack on competitors in the Iditarod Race in Alaska.

Although this incident very much alters the race of the two participants competing for a win, both are going to continue on their way toward the finish line.

Several recent studies have found that being randomly (随机地) assigned to a roommate of another race can lead to increased tolerance but also to a greater likelihood (可能性)of conflict.

Recent reports found that lodging with a student of a different race may decrease prejudice and compel students to engage in more ethnically diverse friendships

At Penn, students are not asked to indicate race when applying for housing.

The RA said that these conflicts have also occurred among roommates of the same race

The school randomly assigns roommates without regard to race

According to two recent studies, randomly assigned roommates of different races are more likely to experience conflicts so strained that one roommate will move out.

Conflicts between students of different races are unavoidable

Students of different races are prejudiced against each other.

Roommates of different races just don't get along

Students of different races are required to share a room.

Middle-class and higher-income parents see their children as projects in need of careful cultivation, says Annette Lareau, whose groundbreaking research on the topic was published in her book Unequal Childhoods: Class, Race and Family Life.

Mr.Ishiguro, have you ever found one of your books at a secondhand bookstore? According to a study of race and equity in education, black athletes are dropping out of college across the country at alarming rates.

But could Norway keep its standard of living and yet cut its emissions to Moroccan or even Ethiopian levels? That question, repeated across a dozen environmental issues and across our diverse planet, is what will ultimately determine whether the human race is living beyond its ecological means as it pursues economic revival.

a basis for explaining human genetic diversityan aid to understanding different populationsan explanation for social and cultural differencesa term to describe individual human characteristicsmodern genetics research is likely to fuel racial conflictsrace is a poorly defined marker of human genetic diversityrace as a biological term can explain human genetic diversitygenetics research should consider social and cultural variablesit is absolutely necessary to put race aside in making diagnosisit is important to include social variables in genetics researchracial categories for genetic diversity could lead to wrong clinical predictionsdiscrimination against black people may cause negligence in clinical treatmentThey be more precise with the language they use.

While we argue phasing out racial terminology ( ' , 术语 ) in the biological sciences, we also acknowledge that using race as a political or social category to study racism, although filled with lots of challenges, remains necessary given our need to understand how structural inequities and discrimination produce health disparities ( ' , 差异 ) between groups, Yudell said.

Today, the mainstream belief among scientists is that race is a social construct without biological meaning.

The researchers also acknowledged that there are a few areas where race as a construct might still be useful in scientific research: as a political and social, but not biological, variable.

Physiological disparities are quite striking among races.

More than a century has passed since explorers raced to plant their flags at the bottom of the world, and for decades to come this continent is supposed to be protected as a scientific preserve, shielded from intrusions like military activities and mining.

Michael Yudell, a professor of public health at Drexel University in Philadelphia, said that modern genetics research is operating in a paradox: on the one hand, race is understood to be a useful tool to illuminate human genetic diversity, but on the other hand, race is also understood to be a poorly defined marker of that diversity.

Many countries are racing against each other to increase their business and strategic influence on Antarctica.

If you make clinical predictions based on somebody's race, you're going to be wrong a good chunk of the time, Yudell told Live Science.

E.B.Du Bois was concerned that race was being used as a biological explanation for what he understood to be social and cultural differences between different populations of people.

Assumptions about genetic differences between people of different races could be particularly dangerous in a medical setting.

This nameless person pushed the human race over a historic threshold, for it was in that year that mankind became, for the first time in its history, a predominantly urban species.

At the start of the test, the participants had to declare their race and were told their results would be used to assess their strengths and weaknesses.

On the other hand, he says, it may just encourage people to talk more honestly about their feelings regarding race issues, which may not be such a bad thing

These findings do not only apply to Obama, or even just to race.

Beyond race We also don't yet know how long the Obama effect—both its good side and its bad—will last

And what if Americans become so familiar with having Obama as their president that they stop considering his race altogether?

This might seem like the ultimate defeat for racism, but ignoring the race of certain select individuals—a phenomenon that psychologists call subtyping—also has an insidious (隐伏的) side

The worst possible aspect of the Obama effect is that people could ignore his race altogether and continue to hold on to their old racial stereotypes.

Today many people have come to realize that help the environment and for the human race to survive, more of us will need to become vegetarian.

The roommate's race had no effect on the grades of white students or low-scoring black students.

The jury's prejudice against his race

People sometimes have difficulty identifying people of other races.

Then, one day, I came across a book, called In Praise of Slowness, and realized that being busy is not only detrimental, but also has the danger of turning life into an endless race.

today, the mainstream belief among scientists is that race is a social construct without biological meaning.

We are taught to believe that only by going to the best schools and getting the best grades can we escape the rat race and build a better future.

We race to get all our ground work done: packing, going through security, doing a last-minute work call, calling each other, then boarding the plane.

He argued that human evolution was characterized by a struggle he called the “survival of the fittest,” in which weaker races and societies must eventually be replaced by stronger, more advanced races and societies.
