article, she could have included more evidence of people that had been ridiculed or forced against their will to go with the popular opinion.

Finally, if Toni would have bluntly stated her opinion multiple times through the article the readers could fully understand what her message clearly was. I firmly believe that…

someone somewhere seems to have an opinion with the need to voice it. Opinions are a tricky topic, although they may be intangible, people value them more than life itself. People automatically have an opinion whether it is “Whatever.”, or “My thoughts run along the lines of...” and so on and so forth.

Athletes may serve as role models, but they should be able to retain the right to use their social influence to create the impact they want to make on the world.

Prejudice is defined as "a preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience". As I sit back and think about this question I feel as if I am prejudiced towards a lot of things. As I wrote down my feelings and thoughts on groups of people I really started to think. I think everyone has some form of prejudice in them, and if they said no they would be lying.

Have you have been led by a person who believes that they’re better than you? Or have you been excluded simply because of your last name? Anyone who has ever tried out for cheerleading will probably answer yes to both of these questions. I have been a cheerleader at my school for six years and I’ve been on both junior varsity and varsity squads, but even I can’t escape the “name game” or the hypocritical girls who believe that it’s their job to boss the underclassmen around. Even though the…
