Biological Race- What is race?


Definition of race is biologically constructed in my opinion because race refers to a person's physical appearance, like skin color, eye color, hair color, bone/jaw structure etc. Ethnicity relates to cultural factors such as nationality, culture, language, ancestry and beliefs. A race is a human population seems to be distinct in some way from other groups, which may be base on real or imaginary differences. The racial classifications are base on the biological classification such as morphological like skin color or facial characteristic. The conceptions of race are often controversial due to its effect on social identity and hierarchies. Ethnicity, related to race not only refers to physical characteristic but also the social traits shared by human population. 


The social traits include nationality, tribe, and religious faith, shared language, shared culture and shared traditions. Therefore we can say that racial discrimination is biologically constructed and while ethnicity is socially constructed. Race classification can be understood as classification of large family based on biology and genetic code. This theory can be verified by the fact that certain disease effect different race differently such as obesity, diabetes, coronary heart disease, lung cancer and skin cancer. The bad use of racial classification in modern time is termed as racism, which encourage the discrimination on basis of race, color and creed. The impact of social culture also have impacted on racial classification because in modern time this effects the human culture in more manner then older time.

Cross functional information system

Cross functional information system Clambake Company is a cross-functional information system of the third era of information systems, succeeding the calculations systems and functional systems. Cross-functional systems is made to integrate all activities of the entire business process, so they derive the term 'cross' consisting of different departmental boundaries (O'brien, J. A. (2006).
