preconception when assessing others that have usually resulted from generalizations. However, an abundance of these generalizations that we possess come from stereotypes that are constantly being reinforced by today’s media. Unfortunately with modern technology we are invariably under the media’s influence, and because of this many stereotypes refuse to be abated. In essence not all stereotypes are detrimental, and certain generalizations conceived from true empirical evidence/observations that…

For example, when Jefferson compares the blacks’ imagination to that of the whites, he asserts that blacks are “dull, tasteless, and anomalous” in imagination (381). His words may diminish readers’ intentions to read as some readers may find his words insulting and offensive. Another example in which Jefferson uses insulting language is when he talks about flowing hair. “Add to these, flowing hair, a more elegant symmetry of form, their own judgement in favor of the whites, declared by their…

not have made such progress. An example case would be described when a scientist arrives at a generalization. If she/ he follows the induction method, he or she will go in search of instances which establish it as truth. If he/ she finds an instance which conflicts with her/ his generalization and establishment, then the scientist is required to qualify the generalization mentioning that the generalization is really true except, in the cases where it has been held to be false or rather…

“Package Picture of Cultures” which represent cultures as distinct and separate entities, each having its own traditions, practices and labels attached to it which make it different from the other cultures (p.1084). This creates culture essentialist generalizations through which others paint those belonging from that culture with the same brush and attach the same label to them. Hence, assignment of individuals in each culture becomes a naturalized process and the labels attached, give meaning…

Stephen King, a talented horror fiction writer, published an article in Playboy magazine called “Why We Crave Horror Movies.” The author tries to prove modern day horror movies are a relief of violence and also can calm the negative nerves in the mind.

Pluralizations in mainstream English will not be produced the same in African American English because of voicing generalization. The clusters of the plural forms of words ending in “sk” for example would be reduced to only the consonant “s” (Green, 2002). The voicing generalization also causes differences when producing the voiced or voiceless “th” in African American English dialect. If “th” is at the beginning of a word many times it will be replaced…

is similar to saying every Native American was an uncivilized savage. It is similar to saying that every German citizen in 1941 was a Nazi. It is even similar to saying that every Southern Christian was a member of the Ku Klux Klan. The broad generalizations are offensive, distasteful, and wrong. Thirdly, denying Syrian refugees a place where they can escape the issues in their country does not follow the principles that this country was founded on. This country accepts immigrants from other…

Adult acquired apraxia of speech (AOS) is characterized as a neurological communication disorder that demonstrates an impaired ability to plan or program motor movements necessary for speech (Davis, Farias, & Baynes, 2009). AOS is supraotentorial in nature and typically occurs in the left hemisphere (Duffy, 2013). Localization of AOS occurs in the dominant hemisphere’s structures and pathways that are responsible for the planning and programming of speech movements. The plan is what (i.e., motor…
