Blame For Dummies

Improved Essays
Like any other ordinary day of the week, I was walking down the streets of New York City. Every other second of every day, I would clearly hear people honking, arguing, and swearing at others. What I've learned from these experiences is if somebody stares at you for not immediately letting them over, stare back. If they growl, you growl. They swear, you swear back. They mumble abuses, you mumble back. In case a vehicle grazes past you, race with him, overtake him and park diagonally right in front of him. Do not bother if it causes a traffic jam there, tell everybody you will not move until the accused pays you for the damages. If you do cause damage to somebody else's vehicle, just leave quietly or never ever admit to your mistake, blame

    At school there is a Subway across the street and after school most kids instead of waiting at the sidewalk and getting the signal that is a safe time to walk. Decide to walk onto the street with oncoming traffic. People don’t think about what could happen if you make your timing wrong and now everyone is crying because you're no longer with them. I was coming home from a cheer competition in Anaheim and when we were pulling off the freeway we had seen three kids on their skate boards going across the street, when they weren’t suppose to, and a 17 year old girl, was on her way home and she had a green light, and two kids made it across the street and one did not.…

    In the rear-end collision, the second vehicle that collides into the vehicle in front is usually at fault. However, there are exceptions to this such as when a car cuts off a truck in stop-and-go interstate traffic or when the car misjudges the truck's speed and pulls out in front of it from a side road. How does the commercial or owner operator truck driver cope with this? By driving more defensively and learning to anticipate these kinds of situations.…

    We interpret showing respect in social interactions as a cultural value, so we enforce that belief by practicing certain behaviors as a cultural norm (Conley 90). As members of the American society, we engage in social interactions with other members by systematically facing each other and making eye contact. I was interested to observe what would happen if this formulated interaction was changed. In order to breach this cultural norm and be an informal deviant, I conducted a study by engaging in conversations with participants while facing the other direction with my back turned toward them. I continued our conversations normally, acted like nothing was wrong, and noted the reactions of the…

    In every community, there is a set of rules to follow, which is found in the code of the street. The Code of the Street, according to the book, “Code of the Street: Decency, Violence, and the Moral Life of the Inner City” by Elijah Anderson, explains more what the code of the street is and why people do things a certain way by saying, “This is because the street culture has evolved a “code of the street” which amounts to a set of informal rules governing interpersonal public behavior. (pg.33).” While the Code of the Street can be seen as a list of rules, it is a lifestyle and a set example of how to do things. One part of the Code of the street is no snitching.…

    While driving on the highway, a driver decides that he/she should speed, just to get to his/her destination faster, and the person feels like there is no harm done if he/she gets caught speeding, since it is not that big of deal, since it is not a violent or major crime, so what harm can be done? Frank Trippett, in the article, “A Red Light for Scofflaws”, suggests that more and more ordinary citizens are becoming scofflaws, people who break the law casually, because they feel like law and punishments only apply to violent crimes. Trippett explains his suggestion by stating that people seem to think that it is now foolish to obey the rules, and because of that, people decide to break certain laws such as littering or speeding. Trippett is writing in a formal tone, in order to try and prevent citizens who usually abide the law, to not join in with the millions of Americans who are becoming scofflaws more frequently. It is an important part of society and…

    I've always heard that drivers should practice "defensive driving. " It makes sense, we all know how big a car is and how fast it can go, you can find all of those numbers somewhere on the car itself. We all know someone who has been in an accident, be it minor or major. When cars collide, it can be catastrophic and everyone knows it well. But somehow, at least for me, the idea of it actually all being real didn't happen until I had gotten into an accident where I was forced to deal with the consequences of even a minor collision.…

    Since I was born, New York City has been my life, my blood, and bones; I have grown and lived with many different people with different backgrounds. My neighborhoods have shaped me into who I am today, I am flexible and open, like raw clay, enough to be changed and formed. Then there is the Bronx, a borough of New York, where you have to be strong, or you will not survive, a place where all races are together, and everyone is noisy. I live in a community where there are mostly Hispanics, and where there are always car passing by and honking, during the day it is the only sound you can here, and ear-piercing bird calls, but during the night there is always some kind of party, either that or just really loud music. I have grown to get use…

    Who To Blame The Victim

    • 344 Words
    • 2 Pages

    As described by Aronson (2012), individuals often have the tendency to blame the victim for their victimization by associating their situation to personality characteristics or stereotypes that may exist about the particular person. One motivation for people to blame the victim could stem from a desire to view the world as fair and just (Aronson, 2012), or in other words if precautions were taken that could have protected them from a certain situation, the crime might not have occurred. For example, if an elderly person was in the midst of crossing the street when the cross-walk signal changed and someone drove through the intersection (having a green light) and hit the elderly person, it might be easy for the individual driving to blame the…
