is designed around mandates that aim to eliminate any biases that may sway a judge’s ruling on a sentence one way or another. Studies find, however, that people of color and of low socioeconomic status were more likely to receive harsher sentences than white people or people of high socioeconomic status (Thornbery 1973). This illustrates a trend that surely could cultivate feelings of injustice. The cause of these racial and socioeconomic biases could be due to the engrained practices and…

Despite being from two vastly different eras and numerous different backgrounds, King and the authors of the Freedom Writers diaries came to the same conclusion about the real meaning of equality.

Something I learned from the film that relates to ascribed status is how the people in the slums of Dharavi are typically generational ‘slumdogs’. This means they were probably given this low, economic status and label at birth, and this has been passed down generation from generation. The stigma attached to the label follows as well.
