It is a harsh truth to believe that humans have created a reality where people think that being black or white matters, but in the real reality around us it doesn’t because we are all still human.

She explores the ideas of critical race theory through racial inequalities, which improves the ability understand the racial hierarchy and how race is socially…

as trash or are disparaged against, your people are being tormented not because of a crime or a horrific action taken by ancestry but because of a physical attribute. This is what the African Americans went through for almost 250 years therefore we are supposed to just accept what the so called land of freedom made of our ancestors, and bask in the glory of America on its day of independence. I find this difficult, for if not the actions taken by the African Americans, and pro freedom whites, we…

Injustice In All Shapes And Sizes Amongst many recurring themes in To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, injustice proves itself the most extensive. In the small southern town of Maycomb, populated by both blacks and whites, several situations involve great injustice. One may see injustice practiced by a person making quick assumptions or judgments, or by one possessing a prejudicial attitude. Whether a minor offense or one in a courtroom, injustice is always wrong. The common theme of…

When people hear the word “justice”, it often invokes a positive connotation. It is a promise of protection and fairness. However, this may not always be the case when unreliable individuals are trusted with such power and responsibility. Twelve Angry Men, Serial, and the series Making a Murderer all bring to light the immense power of our underlying biases and stereotypes as they can cloud the truth. In Twelve Angry Men, members of the jury make assumptions of the defendant because he of where…

racism in the South was common and was seen normal to many white people in this time period. In this scene, Mr Dubose is seen unhappy because Atticus had chosen to defend Tom Robinson, she begins to show racism when she says ¨Your Father’s no better than the niggers and trash he works for¨. She is clearly demonstrating racism in her commentary, and her attitude toward Atticus. She also states that black people are the same rank as ¨trash¨ showing she has no respect for the other race. Also she…

has done nothing as well, Tom Robinson. He also explains the amount of judgement and hatred people have for someone who commits such a sin. He encourages them to treat people with respect no matter the circumstance. In this extended metaphor Harper Lee uses the mockingbird which represents innocence to show the factors of killing an innocent person. At first, Atticus and Jem are confused and perplexed by this advanced theme, but by the end of the book Jem is able to discover how terrible the…
