Examples of Model Minority in the following topics:
-
- Nevertheless, despite a difficult history, Asian Americans have earned the positive stereotype of the model minority.
- The model minority stereotype is applied to a minority group that is seen as reaching significant educational, professional, and socioeconomic levels without challenging the existing establishment.
- By contrast, Cuban Americans are often seen as a model minority group within the larger Hispanic group.
- As with Asian Americans, however, being a model minority can mask the issue of powerlessness that these minority groups face in U.S. society.
- Describe the history and current situation of at least three minorities in the U.S.
-
- Affirmative action essentially establishes legal quotas—set by the U.S. government—for the number or percentage of representation by minority populations in a company's hiring practices.
- Minority populations are generally defined according to race, ethnicity, or gender.
- As a result of this criticism, the equal-opportunity movement evolved towards a model based more on social justice.
- The social-justice trend also meant a shift from a more limited viewpoint of what constituted a "minority" towards a more comprehensive one that places age, physical ability, and sexual orientation alongside traditional categories of race and gender.
- The social justice model of diversity is distinct from the older affirmative action in that it focuses less on employing minorities and more on the value of a diverse workforce.

- Determine if the model assumptions are met using the plots below.
- A regression model for predicting GPA from gender and IQ was fit, and both predictors were found to be statistically significant.
- Using the plots given below, determine if this regression model is appropriate for these data.
- In addition, the residuals do appear to have constant variability between the two parity and smoking status groups, though these items are relatively minor.
- There are some outliers, but there is so much data that the influence of such observations will be minor.
-
- (c) Parity might be correlated with one of the other variables in the model, which complicates model estimation.
- The model over-predicts this baby's birth weight.
- 8.11: Nearly normal residuals: The normal probability plot shows a nearly normal distribution of the residuals, however, there are some minor irregularities at the tails.
- In addition, the residuals do appear to have constant variability between the two parity and smoking status groups, though these items are relatively minor.
- There are some outliers, but there is so much data that the influence of such observations will be minor.
-
- While the plot exhibits some minor irregularities, there are no outliers that might be cause for concern.
- The truth is that no model is perfect.
- However, even imperfect models can be useful.
- Reporting a flawed model can be reasonable so long as we are clear and report the model's shortcomings.
- This video covers key ideas for evaluating a multiple regression model in the context of the model fit in Sections 8.1 and 8.2.

- Each minor key shares a key signature with a major key.
- A minor key is called the relative minor of the major key that has the same key signature.
- These useful accidentals are featured in the melodic minor and harmonic minor scales.
- For example, C minor has the same key signature as E flat major, since E flat is a minor third higher than C.
- C minor is the relative minor of E flat major.
-
- All of the scales above are natural minor scales.
- They contain only the notes in the minor key signature.
- Melodies in minor keys often use this particular pattern of accidentals, so instrumentalists find it useful to practice melodic minor scales.
- Listen to the differences between the natural minor (http://cnx.org/content/m10856/latest/tonminnatural.mp3), harmonic minor (http://cnx.org/content/m10856/latest/tonminharmonic.mp3), and melodic minor (http://cnx.org/content/m10856/latest/tonminmelodic.mp3) scales.
- Rewrite each scale from Figure 4.23 as an ascending harmonic minor scale.
-
- Minorities also have higher rates of cardiovascular disease, HIV/AIDS, and infant mortality than whites, which suggests the lack of preventative services and education in predominantly racial minority neighborhoods and schools may play an important role.
- 2) From the barriers certain minority groups encounter when trying to enter into the health care delivery system.
- 3) From the quality of health care different minority groups receive.
- Minority groups in the United States lack insurance coverage at higher rates than members of dominant groups.
- The differential and unequal treatment of the rich and poor follows the gap between the rich and the poor: From 1966 to 1980, socioeconomic disparities declined in tandem with a decline in mortality rates, but the disparity has since increased as income stratification has, and as our healthcare model has become mostly private, for profit, and insurance based.

- While there are numerous theoretical approaches employed to understand 'culture', this chapter uses just one model to illustrate how sociologists understand the concept.
- The model is an integrationist model advocated by Ritzer.
- If used for understanding a specific cultural phenomenon, like the displaying of abstract art, this model depicts how cultural norms can influence individual behavior.
- This model also posits that individual level values, beliefs, and behaviors can, in turn, influence the macro-level culture.
- Following Collins, sociologists thus explore whether or not the shared understandings and meanings maintained via cultural practice resist and / or reproduce the ongoing subordination of minority groups.

- The first step is to sing and analyze model cantus firmi.
- (These models will also be used as the starting points for our two-voice exercises. )
- in minor, the leading tone only appears in the penultimate bar; the raised submediant is only used when progressing to that leading tone
