It seems humanity is primed to look for certain things such has race and level of social status and it effects how react. The main three points humanity looks for that causes a bad effect is gender, race, and social status. First of all gender is what humans look for. In the WWDY episode of the bike thief. Less people helped the males, but when it was the female actor many men helped her. Females are seen to be more pure and innocent in the human eye.
Males have a flaw making them prone to help females.

    Mixed Blood Summary

    "Mixed Blood” In this article the author intends to demonstrate that the idea of race is only a social/cultural development and a myth. The idea that individuals divided into particular race based on their "biological differences" is a fantasy it’s a myth, everything is just in our heads we have just created it as a community/society, race is not a thing that was always here, it’s only been here since humans have. And the author does a very good job explaining this with good scientific and historical facts that no one can disagree too. This article helped me realize the author’s message (of race just being in our heads), this is not something that I would have really thought about ever if it wasn’t for this article.…

I believe that this is how the human mind works. Humans classify individuals that look alike into groups to create stereotypes. The human mind then finds it easier to assign stereotypes or generalizations to this group of individuals that look the same. I then use these stereotypes and generalizations to determine how I react towards a race.…

    From what I gather from the readings Race did not always exist. It wasn’t until the eighteenth century that people were categorized by the shared features and traits they possessed. Over the years people began looking to race to justify the way they categorized people and sometimes to justify their prejudices. “It has been established that any separate race (other than the human race) is not an actual scientific category and is, instead, a social construction” (Race, 2008). the concept of race originated as an ideology meant to justify colonization and exploitation of people who happened to be, usually, darker-skinned than their exploiters.…

    Reading one Question: 1) Why was the social classification of race invented? Race being the social classification in which we distinguish one another by our ethnic and or regional background, enables us to not only create, but uphold systematic social status throughout the world. As proven through scientific research, race is not a substantive concept, but rather an unfounded concept that has been used to separate the human race overtime. This being the case, race was invented to create social class ranks; which sanctioned the appalling treatment of non-whites throughout the past couple of centuries. Is Afrocentrism a response to racism?…
