Why Do People Become Groups?

Improved Essays
In some certain scenarios there is always a winner and there is always a loser. If there was someone higher than everyone in the whole world looking at us, he or she can spot the losers in the blink of an eye. But even if that were true, then everyone would be a loser, because even if you're a winner then the people surrounding you would think you aren't one. Everyone in life is judged in a different form, and there is always that saying that everyone is reminded of, but nobody follows it. "Never judge a book by it's cover", is how we know we can trust someone or not. There are those that are popular and there are those that our simply NOT. But the question in life, that someone should always ask is WHY? Why is everyone separated into groups? Why are there people who look down on others? Why do people like ourselves, choose to do things that are not right? …show more content…
There was something fishy going on with Jonah, because I knew that he was hiding something, and I am the only one that knows him best. So I took his arm and pulled him to the stairs at M building, and that's when I confronted him about him hiding something. Jonah, what is it that your not telling me, I asked.

Kris here's the thing, I've been meaning to tell you this, but I knew that this would demean you, so I was going to wait till the right time to tell you this. So here's the thing, oh and you might want to sit down for this. Well it's been about a week since I found out, and well I have cancer. I'm sorry I never tell you, but I just didn't want you to have to curry this much weight, especially with the pain that you go through at home. I'm sorry for not telling you.

I'm so sorry Jonah, but I hope that with all the things that the doctor will give you would work. I pray that you don't die and I pray for you to get better. "Every breath you take and every move you

    “Do not judge a book by the cover”: children have been told this for centuries, so why is it that adults do not abide by their own advice? Judging, or classifying, others based off of outward characteristics has been a problem throughout the world for centuries. Over time, things have begun to equal out socially for all races in the world, but out of habit humans still stereotype one another based off of looks, skin color, or social standing. These stereotypes have been shaped over time and have become intertwined into society. Classification tends to be a general indication of a certain type of person based off of other people’s opinions; however, this does not represent the entirety of those people with similar characteristics.…

    “I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what.” Harper Lee’s well known To Kill a Mockingbird highlights the struggle of living in the Great Depression. During this time period, the southern states were largely affected by the ideals of racism. Lee’s novel is inspired by many historical events relating to the South during this time period.…

    What if each person walked around the earth naked? With no clothes, accessories or belongings to indicate social class? This is would be interesting to see because in the documentary, People Like Us, it was seen how much people judge each other by their outward appearance and personal belongings. The first thought about someone is made with the observers eyes, that first meeting could forever change the way you see that person. With that first encounter you walk away with a preconceived idea of their class level, income and social skills.…

    THIS is evolution!?!?! So, as you can see for yourself, we live on a marooned penal asylum space colony, run by its worst sociopath offenders - hell on earth really. Given free reign by us meek masses, these out-of-control crazies, systematically spouting the virtues of their god, their patriotism and cultural and economic supremacy, or some other their, put enough resources into engaging in constant high-tech conflicts among themselves and the populaces they control, to feed the entire planetary colony many times over and eradicate most of its diseases. So as it stands, all us inmates, no matter the status, live in scarcity (or the illusion of scarcity), in aggression and fear ... just like our primate cousins ... only worse.…

    According to Irving Janes (1972), groupthink occurs when a group makes an irrational decision because of group pressure fostering and the deterioration of ‘mental efficiency, reality testing, and moral judgement” (Irving, Janis, Victims of groupthink, p.9). Social influence is the effect that people have upon the beliefs or behaviors of others (Aaronson, 2004). Both groupthink and social influence theory have a factor in what we see as an ongoing reaction to the silent protest started by Colin Kaepernick in August 2016. In recent news on October 1, 2017 during a game between the Arizona Cardinals and the San Francisco 49ers, about 30 of the 49ers players took a knee during the national anthem.…

    All of live in a society where it is impossible to be blasted with opinions wherever we are, and one could say it is near impossible to develop your own logical opinion because it is influenced by everything around you and not developed through reasoning and thought. This is where mob mentality comes in. Mob mentality is created when members of a group latch onto the ideas and beliefs of other members until you create a hive mind. These people follow blindly what everyone else thinks and when deciding for themselves about something they think about what their peers would think of the person's decision. Hive minds are not horrible things, but without different opinions we cannot move forward as a society in a balanced way.…

    Mob mentality is how people are influenced by their peers to adopt certain behaviors. I would describe the police rookies experience with force as mob mentality. The other cops are persuading and making it acceptable to use force when not necessary which has now become a widespread problem. Media is now only picking up on police brutality and if this behavior continues it is never going to end. I believe that our society's fatal flaw is our willingness to follow mob mentality.…

    Importance Of Communication In Nursing

    T. Jasmine (2009) discuses two important aspects of therapeutic communication- listening and exploring. Listening as a therapeutic communication technique demonstrates that the nurse is genuinely interested in the patient. When listening to a patient the nurse and nursing student needs to be aware of how their body actions are being portrayed. Posture, facial expressions, and eye contact can be perceived in a positive or negative way to the patient (para. 12). One of the viewpoints on listening mentioned in the journal is a reference from Stickley and Freshwater (2006) discussing how listening is something that the nurse needs to realize within themselves in order to improve communication skills: “listening to oneself and being constantly aware of ones own thoughts and feelings, posture and actions is vital in improving ones skills of listening to others” (Jasmine, 2009, para.…

    Walk into anyone’s closet, and you might just get a glimpse of their character or personality. What one wears can potentially define who they are.
