Don T Judge All People Analysis

Improved Essays
When making our first impression of others, people tend to put an abundance of focus onto traits that should not matter. We often let our judgements of people we happen to be unfamiliar with become our reality. I chose a text of a picture of six trees showing their reflections into a body of water they surround. Each tree had its own unique features, however their reflections into the water were similar. This painting displays the concept that no matter how different people seem, they are still people. I believe that everyone should share this outlook on people, that they are all the same inside no matter the differences on the outside. Historically, race has been the widespread judgmental trait of human beings. White has always been viewed …show more content…
Today, the primary stereotype based on religion is the one that links Muslim people with terrorism. This is wrong, and Muslim people should not be viewed as terrorists since they believe something differently than a Christian, Jew, etc. would. Numerous people in history have been wrongfully judged, tortured, imprisoned, and even killed for their personal beliefs. Millions of Jewish people were killed in the holocaust for the simple reason of having a slight difference in belief than the majority of other people. Why should I judge someone differently for having their own beliefs? I should not, since I would appreciate having my beliefs respected in addition to yours. To judge a person off of what they believe is not correct. Political views can often become a bit extreme in today’s world. Similar to religion, people have different views, values, beliefs, etc. that should be respected as your own. Democrats are not inferior to Republicans. Republicans are not inferior to Democrats. Even though we may disagree on whether or not our country should make an amendment to a certain law, it has no correlation with my intelligence. What I believe is determined by my personal feelings, not yours. Judgements made off of political views are …show more content…
Why can’t a straight person be friends with gay or lesbian people? They can, since your personal sexual preference is unrelated to another person’s. As of June 2015, the Supreme Court ruled same-sex marriage to be allowed in all 50 states in the United States of America. This is a tremendous step forward in our country to achieving overall equality for all people. I have no problem with other people living how they desire, reason being, it has no impact on my life at all. Although two men or two women can now marry each other, it does not interfere with my ability to marry a woman. Similar to how people are people, love is love, and everyone should respect

    All throughout time, people have been divided due to their differences. People who see others that are different from them will often immediately decide that they are “weird” and put those people lower than themselves. According to Linda Holtzman and Leon Sharpe in their passage, “Theories and Constructs of Race,” Race is just a social construct made by humans to exclude people based on what they look like, where they are from, their culture, etc. If scientists were to look at someone’s deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) compared to another person with, say, different colored skin, they would notice that there is not much of a difference between the two people. Therefore, as Holtzman and Sharpe say, “race is constructed socially, culturally, politically,…

    Fatal Invention, by Dorothy Roberts (2011) was an extremely powerful reading. It opened my eyes tremendously to racism, both from the past and the present. I knew racism was something people faced each and every day, but I don’t think I ever registered that it happened or happens to this degree. The term “race” has been applied to discriminate against different groups of individuals. Robert’s talks about the history of race and how it has come to be today.…

    What is the obsession with people’s need of identification. Don't they understand that in the outside we might be different, but in the inside we all are the same? In her article, “Being an Other,” Melissa Algranati gives a personal narrative of her life and her parent's life and how they faced discrimination and her struggles about being identified as an “other” even though she was an American born jewish and Puerto Rican. Michael Omi’s article “In Living Color: Race and American Culture” reinforces Algranati’s article since in his article he discusses about people ideas about race the stereotypes that they face. Michael Omi reinforces Melissa Algranati because they both argue about America’s obsessions of labelling people and how it affect…

    Within every society there are elements created by social construction. The theory of social construction refers how a society as a whole assigns meaning to objects and characteristics. For example, a cross is simply two lines intersecting until Christianity is assigned to it. These meanings hold no value without the existence of human societies and are not based on facts. The unique story of Henrietta Lacks and her immortal cells encompasses social construction when applied to race, which is accompanied by struggles with discrimination and authority.…

    Social construction is not as definitive as actual objects and is defined by culture which changes as time goes on, more specifically defined by society’s dominant group. With this definition the basis of race continually changes. When the Africans were first brought to the United States as indentured servants they were considered objects, this definition then changed as they were later considered “free man” as slavery was abolished although his still gave a stigma to the race. As time moved on the African American race was based upon skin color and heritage and less upon the social status. “First, race is a social construct contingent on collective acceptance, agreement, and imposition.…

    Race is defined as a group of people that share a set of characteristics, typically but not always physical ones, and are said to share a common bloodline. Sociologists often say that race is a social construction. Social construction is a debate about what is real versus fake and more of an explanation of how we give meaning to things or ideas through social interaction. According to sociologist, Dalton Conley, to speak of the myth of race is to say it is a social construction. Race is based on stories we tell ourselves in effort to organize society rather than natural realities.…

    Introduction Value- free science describes a situation where science can depend on the facts presented and not be influenced by the social and moral values. It primarily involves impartiality where ideologies are accepted not based on social values but knowledge and facts. Also, it offers an element of neutrality and equality. Therefore, it is not completely possible to achieve a value-free science of race since our modern idea of race has its origins not on scientific investigations but rather historical cultural values.…

    Race from a social construction has been apart of how we class people today. We look at skin color, and ask of peoples family backgrounds to determine what race they are. What we have made is each race seem to be in a different breeding population than the other races, when in reality, and what has been learned in this class is that genetically it does not show what race someone is. I also learned in classes from a long time ago that by looking at a persons facial structure can determine what race they are, I now know after this class that this is not true. What we have learned as a population is who fits into what race based on are very arbitrary.…

    What would our world be without everything being related in a way? It would be a lot different than it is today. In “Human Family” by Maya Angelou and “Remember” by Joy Harjo, both poets use personification, hyperboles, and repetition, to show that everything is related in some way. Personification is one major poetic device both poets used in their poems. In “Human Family”, by Maya Angelou, she exhibits that “The variety of our skin tones/can confuse, bemuse, delight”…
