Are Outsiders Misunderstood?

Improved Essays
Those that are left out and are unrecognised are they misjudged or just misunderstood. Outsiders are not misjudged only misunderstood. People first start like everyone else then they are labeled, then become unsocial and are locked out from there on to adulthood. Many people are labeled at childhood as if they were an object. They get put into groups and many other things which exclude them from others. This forces them to only socialize with certain people later causing them to become unsocial. It also makes some people be forced into a group they don't belong in, this may cause some people with bright futures to have a less fortunate life. When people get excluded they tend to be less social and this causes them to have less friends

    In class this past week, we did an activity called the Signals Game, which I had actually done once before in high school. When I did it the first time, I was part of culture B, and I remember that I felt like such an outsider, even though there were other people that were in my culture with me. But this time, when we did it in class, I was part of culture A. For some reason, I found I was much more comfortable being in the group that tried to welcome the others than I was actually being part of “the others.” When I thought back on this, I think this really says something about society as a whole.…

Parents who drink or smoke while pregnant put their children at great risk for their future. How a parent treats their child, starting from the womb, impacts their entire life.…
