Discriminatory About Prejudice

The Language in The Red Room by H G Wells and The Signalman by Charles Dickens

According to dictionary.com the word prejudice means “unreasonable feelings, opinions, or attitudes, especially of a hostile nature, regarding an ethnic, racial, social, or religious group.” Gloria Anzaldua the author of the article “How to Tame a Wild Tongue” was faced with this along with Racism and sexism growing up in Texas. In this article it begins with Anzaldua telling the reader about her many struggles of growing up and trying to be herself while also being a minority and it being the 30’s. “I remember being sent to the corner of the classroom for “talking back” to the Anglo teacher when I all I was trying to do was tell her how to pronounce my name.” (Anzaldua 372.)

In Mississippi, 1930’s, the Logan family decided to keep their land, during this time things were rough when it came to money and racism in the South. I would have sold the land because there was physical and emotional abuse to people of color, people were being treated unfairly due to racism, and the land was very hard to pay for especially while living during the time of the Great Depression. To start with I would have sold because, of the physical and emotional abuse that was directed at African Americans during this time. In Document D it states “...the Wallace family brutally burn three African-American men without facing any punishment Mama… tires to organize a boycott.”

The word “prejudice” is defined as a ‘preconceived opinion not based on reason or experience’ and differs from discrimination (prejudicial behaviour) which is an outward action that arises from the prejudgments that one may make about an individual. Discriminatory/prejudicial

Prejudice influences the historical record because those opinions and beliefs are handed down through the generations and believed by others due to the influence those that express those views have on others. In the context of the Understanding Prejudice quiz about slaves and their treatment, the textbook states that “contemporary institutional and individual racism, which is central to today’s conflicts, has its origins in the institution of slavery” (Schaefer, 2015, p 168) which was embraced by many of our past presidents and which allowed long-standing prejudice and discrimination to occur against black people. The prejudicial theories of authoritarian personality, exploitation, and normative come into play as well as the theoretical perspectives of functionalist and labeling.

Discrimination and prejudice can impact any group or individuals well-being. Jewish Americans are no exception. They face judgments, threats, isolation and stereotypical opinions of others daily. Many Jewish individuals are hesitant to seek counseling because they fear the non-Jewish counselor may not be empathic to their specific issues or be able to discern their problems (Sue & Sue, 2016). Additionally, they have strong religious beliefs and worry counselors may make suggestions that go against these beliefs. It would be helpful if the counselor became knowledgeable about the Jewish culture and religion. Therefore, Sue & Sue (2016) suggest conferring with a rabbi as to how best to counsel those from the Jewish community. Counselors need

As defined by an online dictionary source, prejudice is “an unfavourable opinion or feeling formed beforehand or without knowledge, thought, or reason.”[1] I consider prejudice to be an unfair pre-judgment of someone or something based solely on appearance or action, without actually knowing true facts and the reasons behind actions.

Self-evaluation or “self-leadership” (Runn, 2011) forms a critical part of a leaders repertoire and some key blocks of the foundation for this persons leadership. If someone can ultimately say that they fully understand themselves, they will find it much easier to understand others around them.

The prejudice that members of one race are intrinsically superior to members of other races; discriminatory or abusive behavior towards members of another race, is the definition of Racism, according to Webster’s Dictionary. Today the use of the term “racism” doesn’t just fall under one single definition. Racist practices often include the idea that humans can be subdivided into groups that are different in their social behavior and innate capacities and that can be ranked as inferior or superior.

In this modern world, prejudice is still a universal problem we still have yet to overcome. Although it is true that our society is much less prejudiced than it was 40-50 years ago, we are still struggling to create racial harmony in a world that is so diverse in terms of racial group, sexual orientations, ethnicity, nationality, religions, and so on. I think the core of prejudice comes from stereotyping, which is the generalization of motives, characteristics, or behavior to an entire group of people. In the world where media propaganda is ubiquitous, often times most stereotypes are not formed on valid experiences, instead they are based on images publicized by the mass media, or even created within our heads after seeing and hearing examples from many different sources, like movies, or even hearsay. Stereotyping is more powerful than we think, because it allows those false pictures to control our thinking that leads us to assign uniform characteristics to any person in a group, without consideration of the actual difference between members of that particular group.

The social and moral aspects of prejudice are explored within the studied texts through the intolerance for other opinions. Harper Lee’s novel To Kill a Mockingbird and Jeremy Stanford’s article Booing Adam Goodes: are we even aware we’re racists? magnify the different aspects of prejudice through different perspectives. The composers use the concepts of innocence, injustice and relationships to explore the different aspects of prejudice. The discrimination brought to surface within the texts reveals that prejudice is destructive to humanity.
