Categorization

From the seminar “Profiling and Investigative Psychology,” I have discovered that criminal profiling has similarities to brand and market segmentation which can be applied to improving my organizational performance. In my current employment, I am responsible for developing cooking appliances that resonate with different groups of people. Psychology is a science that is unprecise, being an art more than a science (H. Tato, personal communication, July 9, 2016). Dr. Tato explained that…

classical anti-hero or not. The strange and seemingly endless quarks he possesses all add up to give the audience, in my opinion, a mixed feeling about Napoleon. In my professional opinion though I do not believe Napoleon would fall under the categorization of an anti-hero. Napoleon just does not encourage very much sympathy from the audience, if any at all. Undoubtedly he is, for lack of a better word, weird but overall his weirdness just overrides and justifiable reason for the viewer to be…

Janiyah Belfor Critical Analysis on “ Defining Racism: “Can We Talk” Beverly Daniels Tatum’s “Defining Racism: “ Can We Talk”, published in 2003, explains that racism and prejudice still exist in today’s world and are not just something of the past. Many people are left in the dark about the daily racist situations that occur in the world and covered by the media. From what I understood from the article it is everyone's job to get their own understanding on racism and what it is today. Tatum…

Exit Through the Gift Shop is an experimental film that tries to disguise itself as a documentary. Experimental films are those that “actively seek to defy categorization and convention” (Barsam and Monahan, p. 77), and Exit Through the Gift Shop most certainly does that. Experimental films can also be recognized by their subject matter (which is generally non-mainstream), they do not conform to conventional expectations of film, are usually made by independent filmmakers, they draw attention…

LGBT citizens are no strangers to violence and abuse directed toward them due to their orientation. Whether the violence comes from family, strangers, or even the police, the targets of many attacks, from something as small as online harassment to something as drastic as the Pulse nightclub shootings, are LGBT people, especially people who are black, Asian, or Latinx (known colloquially as POC). In a 2016 survey of survivors from reported anti-LGBT attacks, more than 61 percent identified as POC…

environment. Adaptation is another main key term used in ecology. Adaptation, also termed as an adaptive trait, is a trait with a current functional role in the life history of an organism that is sustained and evolved by natural selection. The categorization of biomes into zones based on their distribution or arrangement in a habitat as determined by environmental factors, altitude, latitude and temperature. Interrelationships the way in which each of two or more things is related to the other…

Prejudice and discrimination are really important words that define who we are and how we think about others in our daily basis. Prejudice and discrimination factors are mostly determined since day one. They have an affect on all humans and there are ways that you can do to reducing its development. Prejudice has to deal with the inflexible and irrational attitudes and opinions held by members of one group about another person. Most of the time the opinion you have is not based on reasons or…

social and political constructions, specifically those of Chaucer’s time. He criticizes other writers who propose that the pardoner is a kind of present “absence” that opposes coquettish feminity, or that he is too extreme in flouting any sort of categorization. On the face of the Pardoner’s image, the reader receives a clear binary when he’s interacting with Harry Bailey, effeminate and masculine—or as Burger writes is the “heterosexual language”. Instead, Burger relates that the necessity for…

it is hard to determine the correct definition of what a race is. The word, race, is also very broad as it spans out to many classifications and here we will distinguish the different terms relating to race. The word race in relation to human categorization is generally used as a social construct. People sharing similar and distinct physical characteristics such as skin color or eye shape can differentiate every person. Language is largely associated with race because it denounces culture…

Before the escape, Sethe eavesdrops on Schoolteacher and his nephews conducting an animal categorization of the slaves at Sweet Home. Morrison depicts Schoolteacher as a villainous figure who is determined to violently protect the system as slavery as well as white supremacy. Paul D. recalls how “Schoolteacher changed me. I was something else and that something was less than a chicken sitting in the sun on a tub” (Morrison 43). Psychologically, Schoolteacher’s animalistic treatment of Paul D.…
