We as humans come in different shape and sizes also with different cultures and beliefs. We humans should understand people do not always have the same belief or the same culture. In “My so called Enemy”, “American stands for Tolerance” by Ronald J. Allen, and “Texas vs. Johnson” by: William J. Brennan. In these three texts they all define the meaning of accepting people’s different opinion or different culture. We human beings must be willing to accept people or their opinions that are different from ourselves.
We humans should accept people even if they have a different aspect then ourselves. In the trailer “My so called Enemy” shows the girls are in a hug circle and jumping while calling themselves sisters. This shows that the girls are
Discrimination and prejudice were very common acts in the early and middle 1900’s. In To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee and Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck prejudice is displayed by the acts of hate towards someone’s color of skin. People of color were the majority, that were treated unfairly. During this time in the southern states, black people had to use separate drinking fountains, bathrooms, churches, and even go to separate schools. Even though much of discrimination was driven towards blacks, there were plenty of accounts towards poor families by those that had money.
People tend to reject what is different. Our differences/diversities can lead to growth as a society or it can lead to violence and hatred. We must value our diversity in order to work together for the common good of our society/world.
William J. Brennan wrote the seminal document, Texas vs. Johnson and Ronald J. Allen wrote the article, American Flag Stands for Tolerance and both justify their reasoning on why burning the American flag is not a serious offense. Brennan and Allen both have different tones in their articles because the context for both of them are different.
Sadly, the backgrounds that the girls have view them as the others enemy. One girl in the video states how even though she and another girl are friends, she is going to be the one wearing the enemy’s uniform. She describes the ordeal as “stupid.” I understand how it would be stupid because the girls’ backgrounds intervene with their friendship. Acceptance plays a role in their relationship heavily. The girls had to learn about each other and open their gates of acceptance to see that they are not so different despite where they came
There are 6.3 billion people in the world, each one of them believes and acts differently. But some of them don’t believe what the other believes and acts against them. But in America it is amazing how we open our country to all and can live with so many different people and cultures. Being an American means being able to live with different cultures without dispute.
In the texts and videos the authors and directors explore the idea of accepting others by providing evidence of discrimination and the negative impact of it when there are riots, beatings and segregation.
The black nationalism and transformationalism are two major ideologies or themes portrayed throughout the history of Africans. However, these two ideologies often appeared to be conflicting instead of complimenting each other. Even from the beginning, various organizations, people, and approaches were separated by these ideologies. In this section of We Shall Overcome: The Reconstruction, many great figures like Martin Luther King, Newton, Gary and various organizations explicitly conveyed how exactly these ideologies appeared as a conflict to each other. In other words, this section of the text specifically demonstrates how these ideologies intersected by the various people and organizations.
All-American girl books teach little girls one thing; they want to grow up to be Samantha the doll. Growing up, society teaches you everything but the most important thing; social classes, and the true facts about them. All we know growing up is Samantha’s “perfect” and living the American dream. Through the eyes of society, if we are raised poor we aren’t going to go anywhere; and we learn to hate the top one percent of the population with all of the populations’ money. The girls grew up dreaming of being Samantha, but society pushed us down, and as we became young adults it struck us to dislike the one girl that little girls grew up loving; the All-American girl doll, Samantha. Classism is huge in today’s society, and not many people know what it means, because nobody teaches it anymore.
Culture is the Backbone of a society, when something/someone tries to alter it or go against it everyone will notice. In this issue pointed out by Ruth Macklin, we look at the problems that can arise when an individual’s culture and autonomy clash. Every year there at least 30 million immigrants from all over the world that move to the United states of America, making America one of the most culturally diverse country in the world. Keeping this in mind, we will focus on Ruth Macklin’s issue of Multiculturalism. Multiculturalism is the co-existence of diverse cultures, where culture includes racial, religious, or cultural groups and is manifested in customary behaviors, cultural assumptions and values, patterns of thinking, and communicative styles. Critics argue that we associate culture with a society, community and or family, but rarely with a single individual, thus placing it above the individual person. In this paper we are going to look at four different scenarios on from Ruth Macklin’s article.
Why do we as people have a hard time accepting people or opinions that are different from ourselves? People need to understand that everybody is different, so you should accept them for who they are. From these three sources there was valuable information pulled that shows why you should accept people or opinions “My So Called Enemy”, “Texans Vs Johnson” by Ronald J Allen. These articles were different but have the common theme people have different opinions from ourselves.
In a cosmopolitan nation full of diversity like the United States, conflicts are bound to arise between cultures and races with different views. However, in order to maintain the diversity, people must be willing to understand and accept others’ opinions. This ideal has been tested by citizens in the US in many conflicts as people mistreat others. People exclude or mistreat others who are different, but should accept them for the good of society as long as violence doesn’t break out.
Respect of and understanding that other people have differing opinions, views and religious/cultural beliefs, and how these beliefs may impact on building an effective,
When we interact with people from other cultures it is important to understand that there is a history behind how they view us and how we view them. Many cultures within our country, as well as throughout the world, have such different belief systems from ours that if we don’t make a point of learning about the history behind other belief systems
Tolerance symbolizes "to oversee", as a thought it suggests "essentialness and acknowledgement about the rich orchestrated attributes of the world 's social requests, signs of presentation and frameworks for being human. Tolerance is an essential standard of all religions. Frequently it is racial and ethnic, off and on again it is religious and ideological, different times it is political and social. Religious tolerance is about permitting others to hold convictions that run as opposed to one 's own particular convictions. It doesn 't oblige that restricting convictions be encouraged, upheld, or not repudiated. “Tolerance is the positive and cordial effort to understand another 's beliefs, practices, and habits without necessarily sharing
According to Smith (2004), understanding that we are not the same is significant in bridging cultural barriers and avoiding too many cultural shocks. For example, in Saudi Arabia, a person tries their best to pay the bill in a café or restaurant on behalf of others in a social group. The first day I came to America, I went out with some of my neighbors to a nearby bakery. Each one ordered what they like. When the waiter came with the bill, I snatched it to pay. My group did not fight back to pay the bill and just said, "Thank you!" I was not amazed at all; and it was a very normal thing I did. However, the cultural shock appeared again. After one week, we hanged out again in a different café; and the same
