Despite our country’s growth, racial issues continue to arise for every
ethnic groups. In a large, culturally diverse society such as ours, it can be difficult for a person to establish and maintain a sense of belonging and cultural identity, regardless of ethnic background. The eZine, USARiseUp, offers everyone the opportunity to express themselves regarding these challenges and become informed about issues being faced by not only their own ethnic group, but all those that exist in our society.
The eZine USARiseUp was founded with the mission “to provide a forum where everyone can engage in an ongoing conversation about race matters.” The magazine aims to bring out dialogue regarding touchy
ethnicity issues that people may not feel comfortable talking about in other forums. The monthly publication includes articles and features on subjects ranging from business and ethnic publications to cultural identity and
ethnic education in order to increase cultural communication.
In addition to this downloadable publication, USARiseUp also maintains a website, primarily utilized to encourage readers in racial discussion. This is done through weekly blogs, the ability for readers to comment on articles/blogs, and forums for readers to post questions, observations and conversations regarding cultural identity. A popular section of the site is Sticky Wicket Questions, where readers’ questions about racial, cultural and religious differences are addressed directly by psychologists, sociologists, cultural researchers and other professionals.
USARiseUp provides these opportunities for readers in order for them to understand each other’s cultures and make them feel connected to one another.
“We, at USARiseUp, believe that if we have an ongoing opportunity to learn more about each other, we can gain a better understanding of our differences, find great comfort in what we have in common and build a strong foundation upon which we can bridge our divisions,” writes USARiseUp founder, Janice S. Ellis, Ph.D.
Through USARiseUp, people can begin to see their connection to the world. They will begin to understand that despite our innumerable cultural differences, we are all connected.

IHOPMar 1, 2011 - 3:56:52 PM If you're in the mood for doing something to help eradicate Leukemia and Lymphoma, eat pancakes at IHOP today. There really are only two times when the food served at IHOP is morally acceptable to some people who spend their days rallying against processed food and their nights eating the equivalent of similarly fat food: 1) when they are drunk or 2) when free food is involved. Throw in a good charity like cancer and the place will be overflowing with philanthropists.... [Read the full story] |
