Reflective Essay: The Color Code

Decent Essays
The color code is simply just a way to understand yourself and the people around you, better. It’s this quiz that you take and it shows you what color(s) you are. After you take the quiz you can read about your color(s) and it will tell you more about your own personality. Not only that but it also tells you about the other personalities and how they behave the way they do and how best to interact with the certain colors. Although most people, if rarely, are not just one color. Most people are a mix of the four colors. For me personally its helped me better understand the people around me. It also helped me understand why at times it seems so difficult to get along with my immediate family, considering that they’re all red. All three of them. I’m not saying that reds are hard to get along if or that they’re a “bad” color, because they’re no one bad color or one good color. Each color has its own good traits and its own faults just like people. I’m just saying that my family is very opinionated and they’re all determined to have their way. So it’s not just difficult for me to get along with them, but they have a hard time all getting along together. This is because they’re all a little pig headed and they don’t always give each other a chance to share their view point. …show more content…
Like how some of my best friends are very blue, and often show lots of the blue characteristics like: they’re high achievers, sincere, highly disciplined, self-sacrificing, extremely loyal. But just like the good they also have some of the bad. That’s the beauty though the color code is about self discovery and self improvement, and with out knowing about the bad how can you

    I feel this way perhaps from my parents divorce or from being ashamed of being “different” in some sort (size, shape, skill, or wealth). It harps on every aspect of my life and controls the way I present my-self. I chose the darker shades, since this trait weighs heavy on my life and darker colors are more intense. The gray symbolizes how I view myself- uninteresting and dull. The red and orange are a statement for what I want to be- bold, social, strong, courageous, loveable, and creative.…

    Everyone is racist. Primarily, the idea of being ‘colorblind’ was the revolutionary solution to “racism”. If you do not take into account one’s race, you will be perfectly able to treat them like a “normal human being”. This arrangement was prominent in the life of Huffpost.com writer Jason Halstead.…

    Affirmative action was created in the 1960s in order to give the groups that had been marginalized for years a leg up in order to help them out. The mentality behind its creation is best summarized in a quote from a speech given by Lyndon Johnson in 1965 in which he says, "you do not take a person who, for years, has been hobbled by chains and liberate him, bring him up to the starting line of a race and then say you are free to compete with all the others, and still just believe that you have been completely fair." This made complete sense back in 1965 where minorities had been discriminated against for years. Today it's much a much more divisive issue as the disparity between the people of this country has become less and less an issue of race. The lessening of inequality between race has caused many to question whether or not affirmative action programs are…

    I am not one to brag. I have no reason to. Bragging is, in my opinion, a selfish way to assert oneself and make oneself seem better than another. There is really no point, and it almost never leads to another person respecting you. People gain respect through their actions and through their experience, not through what they say about themselves.…

    Analysis/Synthesis The thing that strikes me about all of these passages is how they all have insight to how black people were treated and how they lived, both before and after slavery. These passages work together show how slavery is the cause for all of the dislike and disgust of the black race and everything relating to it. They build upon each other to show the negative connotation associated with the race, and show that the negativity is directly linked to slavery. Color Complexity gives insight on how people with white skin are better than people with darker skin.…

    Alexander Hamilton, One of Americas founding fathers, author of “The Federalist Papers,” and the gentleman on the ten dollar bill, has a riveting Broadway musical biography on his life by the great Lin-Manuel Miranda. What makes this show absolutely unique is that it not just white men dressed up in powdered white wigs, it’s a contemporary piece with scores of music in pop, hip-hop, R&B and only uses Black and Latino actors. In theatre, the concept of colorblind casting has been used for a long time but it is still a debate whether or not it’s an effective practice. Even the celebrated Black playwright August Wilson, in his speech addressed to the Theatre Communications Group National Conference “The Ground on Which I Stand” states that, “colorblind…

I am proud that I did choose this course to be in because it is allowing me to think critically and efficiently, something that I have never done before. Enrolling in this course expanded my outlook on many different situations such as immigration, child labour, and identity.…
