there are many different kinds of chairs out there.” (Belluck 2005). Moreover, in Belluck’s article, Susan Fiske a professor of psychology and neuroscience at Princeton mentions that stereotype of appearances is divided into two wide extents. Either a person appears hurtful or kind. However, all of this was the psychology aspect of stereotype. Scientists are finding that stereotypes are not a simple action that is stored and retrieved by the brain but associated with general regions in the brain…

ability to care for others outside of our family/friend circle which is a valid concern. If we go back to to the homeless person we always ignore, the utilitarian would say we should give everything to him/her until we are on an equal playing field. Those who believe in Ethics of care would give him/her food and water, or maybe take this person to a homeless shelter. The homeless person can benefit from us, by us providing for them things they don’t have, but not in a way where we lose…

Walking into English 28 that first Wednesday of class I had no idea what to expect. I was a bit nervous, being that I had been out of school for over 10 years and English is my least favorite subject, but I just wanted to get it out of the way, so I wanted to take it first. Surprisingly, I actually found the class very hopeful and easy to understand. I learned many different things. Among those things, three things really stood out, the writing process, different types of paragraphs, and…

I met several other volunteers that were volunteering as well. We all made a plan that made one person was in charge of letting people in to get candy, 2 people were in charge of helping others to get candy, and I provided the containers that the powdered candy went in. When the people arrived it was chaos at first since some people were skipping other individuals. My group talked it over and decided to enforce the limit of people who were able to get powdered…

“a nondescript shade” feeling the wanting to learn more about it, shows us how he’s looking forward to understand something, that is learning the existence of colour, rather than to simply conform with everyone else. By displaying Jonas as the only person able to ‘see beyond’ Lowry develops a point that individuality is unique and inspiring for a satisfying life. Lowry also encourage difference of individuals in her novel instead of disparaging them or ignoring their existence through Jonas…

Image. Image is something that many people use that can make or break a connection between people. Image can define a person and what their personality. In To Kill A Mockingbird two characters are defined like Mockingbirds. Tom Robinson and Atticus Finch are defined Mockingbirds for their actions. In her story, Harper Lee portrays a story about a father named Atticus and his son and daughter named Jem and Scout. The story is portrayed in Maycomb, Alabama during a trial case on a rape for a black…

Blind Confidence People can hold firm trust in a person or aspects of life; we associate this feeling with being confident . When we claim someone is ignorant, we assume they have no actual knowledge over something or its topic . And we could mix both of these aspects together in one person then our reference would be a red hearing personality. The question I have is why some people if not most have done this at least once in their life span. We can accept to stand ground in something we have no…

others or not. As part of the experiment, Galinsky asked the participants to write letter ‘E’ on their forehead. The results of the experiment showed that participant who were primed with the feeling of power wrote ‘E’ backward, when seen by another person (Lehrer, Jonah. "How Power Corrupts."). This experiment clearly shows how powerful individuals see the world through their own eyes and do not care for what other view. Besides this, example from history also proves the point that powerful…

The three characteristics/strengths that I feel I would bring to the Social Work program would be; first that I am a joyful person; second that I am a very empathetic person; third I have experience. I am not the type of person that likes to dwell on the bad but instead I have always made it a point to have joy even through the most difficult times in my life. That does not mean that I am never sad but, it means even when I am sad that I remind myself of the good I am blessed with. I always try…
