One way in which attitude change occurs is via cognitive dissonance. Cognitive dissonance is an occurrence in which a person experiences psychological distress due to conflicting thoughts or beliefs. The tendency to be affected by cognitive dissonance is affected by culture. In order to lessen this rigidity, individuals could change their attitudes to imitate other opinions or real behaviors.

Janie’s voice in her relationship with Joe Starks is an important aspect because it reflects her submission and Joe’s control towards Janie in their marriage, until she finds both her voice and personal strength. In Joe’s induction as mayor, he declines the chance for Janie to speak; “Thank yuh fuh yo’ compliments, but mah wife don’t know nothin’ ‘bout no speech makin’. Ah never married her for nothin’ lak dat” (43). When Janie enters her marriage with Joe she has the understanding that his voice is more dominate than hers and as a result relinquishes her voice. Joe quickly declines Janie’s opportunity to speak, and Janie complies because she does not have

Cognitive dissonance is defined as the state of having inconsistent thoughts, beliefs, or attitudes, especially as relating to behavioral decisions and attitude change. Cognitive dissonance occurs most often when a person’s beliefs, morals or feeling are one way but they do not act accordingly. This dissonance may be displayed in numerous ways that may be done outwardly but also there is an internal process that takes place. A use of internal processing involves many different functions, included but not limited to, thinking, perception and problem solving. The driving force of dissonance is that we as humans attempt to align opposing thoughts or ideas and carry on with life in a way that still meets our morals, set standards or way of thinking. In doing so, we are then challenged to find what we believe as appropriate reasoning for making

After reading chapter five I noticed cognitive dissonance throughout a large portion of the book. Cognitive dissonance was described in class as being a situation involving conflicting attitudes, beliefs, or behaviors. A good example of this was found on page 182 where the author writes about how we all tell our self that African Americans “deserve” all of this even though we know, but do not want to acknowledge that white Americans are less likely to be convicted of the same crime done by blacks. Cognitive dissonance applies here because we know that this mass incarceration is not fair or morally right to do, however, our behavior does not try to stop it from happening. Instead of doing what our beliefs say is right we try to convince ourselves that it is the African Americans fault that they are

After having insulted Joe he feels the need to get back at Janie by refusing to speack to her. Janie realize that their marriage is fallimg apart but in order to keep it stable they must communicate by using “new words”.

Janie thought running of with Joe starks, a man who filled her head with dream and hopes of a wonderful life, would be beneficial for her. In the beginning she was happy and in love with Joe, but as time grew on their relationship began to change. Janie began to notice that Joe was more focused on being mayor than being her husband. She never spoke about it because she hoped things would go back to how they were before, when she and Joe first got married. Joe remained focused on being Mayor Starks, and started to change Janie’s appearance by buying her more expensive dresses. But one changed that caused an argument between Janie and Joe was Joe demanding Janie to tie up her hair. Joe made this demand because he
