Examples Of Disrespect In To Kill A Mockingbird

Racism is the belief that characteristics and abilities can be attributed to people simply based on their race and that some racial groups are superior to others. This has been a problem in our world forever. In to Kill a Mockingbird there are so many racist events and it reflects on the society as a whole till this day. The book setting was the 1930’s in a small county of Maycomb, where most people were racist and discriminatory. People think racism has died off, but it is still a huge problem. People choose to raise their children and teach them that racism is okay and that is how there is still racism today. There are so many statistics out there based on skin color that right there is even racist if everyone is equal why are there polls being taken separating people by the color of their skin?

In the book To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, the Ewells and the Cunninghams have one thing in common; they are poor. Their manners, reputation, and appearance are what make them different. First the Ewells have disrespectful manners. Miss Caroline asked Burris Ewell to leave the classroom. Instead of doing what he was asked, he called her hurtful names and stomped out of the room. In contrast, the Cunninghams have respectful manners. When Miss Caroline offered Walter Cunningham a quarter for lunch, he politely denied the money because he knew he couldn’t pay her back. Another difference is there reputation around Maycomb County. The Ewells are known as a “disgrace of Maycomb for three generations. None of them had done an honest day’s work

To Kill a Mockingbird took place during the 1930s, a period shortly after the American civil war in Maycomb County, Alabama, the deep south where black people suffered from racism and discrimination. In this book, Tom Robinson was accused of raping a white woman, which was something that he’s never done, even though all the evidence proved that he did not violate that white woman, Tom was judged guilty because he was a black man. Racism is presented throughout the entire book especially when Scout got teased by her family about Atticus taking Tom’s case, and the townspeople's perception about Atticus, as well as during the trial of Tom Robinson.

In To Kill a Mockingbird, and in the world today there is racial and social inequality going on all around us. I am sure that there will never be true racial and social equality, but I think that it will get dramatically better. Just like it has gotten better since the 1930’s, which is the time that To Kill a Mockingbird is set in.

In To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper lee presents the idea that Respect is seen when one has great manners towards someone’s race, social class, or age. Social justice requires respect because No one would get along and the world would fall apart resulting in no rights, fights, and wars. The character Atticus Finch demonstrates respect by not showing that race or someone's social class is a factor in his judgment. He even shows being just by not letting scouts age get in the way of telling her the truth about everything.

Americans depend a great deal on entertainment to educate them about life. In several ways Americans live vicariously through the actors and actresses on television and believe themselves to learn many things from those actors and actresses. For example, many people have said they learned medical techniques by watching medical shows on television or believe they would know what to do in a medical emergency because they have seen it done on television. The same goes for Americans’ knowledge about Court hearings and the judicial system. Many things are done on television by actors playing lawyers or judges that are done just for the purpose of entertainment. “Reality-based” Court shows such as Judge Judy, People’s Court

Now don’t you be so confident, Mr. Jem, I ain’t ever seen any jury decide in favor of a colored man over a white man…” (Lee 279). In this point of the book, the trail ww is coming to a close, and the verdict is yet to be reached, even though the jury is not out, Reverend Sykes already seemed to know the outcome, how? Bias, as Reverend Sykes explains, he has never seen a jury decide in favor of a colored man. Ro Back in the early to mid 1900’s, racial biases are what societies were built upon, what the laws were based on, how people lived their everyday lives. All throughout To Kill a Mockingbird, the presence of racial biases are very prominent. The major showing of a racial bias, is in the trial scene. Tom Robinson, a nice, well mannered black, is put away in jail for helping a young White woman. He is killed, because of his actions of towards that young white woman, he is killed for being a decent human being. ro Tom was never given a fair chance to win the case, he wasn't given a fair chance because of the pigment of his skin. Ro Racial biases are what societies are were based upon many years ago, and arguably still some today. Racial biases are what make towns, but are also what breaks them. Where is your argument?

Dehumanization is the action in which you deprive someone of their human qualities, personality, or spirit. This is evident in both novels in the way each group was depicted by the community or leaders as “dogs”. In the case of Night, the Jews were forced to sit in crowded wagons that had no space to move about in and treated like dogs. “If anyone goes missing, you will all be shot, like dogs.” (Wiesel 24).

Classism Throughout the Ages Classism has always been present in our society, and will likely continue to exist in our future. Scout experiences Classism at a young age because she directly involves with Walter Cunningham Classism on many occasions. Classism is the act of treating someone with lesser value because they belong to a lower social class than yourself. Simply put, to be prejudice. One ofd the differences between the classism now and the classism that took place in Scout's town is the way it is represented.

Ever since the humans have been separated into different ethnic groups racism has existed on Earth. The idea of racism has existed since the beginning of time but today racism is not as prominent as it once was but it still lives. Racism is kept alive through microaggressions or the eununciating of an offensive and racist comment. During the Great Depression, racism was in its prime, Harper Lee’s renown novel, To Kill A Mockingbird, brings the ideology of racism to light.

It has been shown by many historians, scientists, and psychologists that people are affected by the world around them. This is exactly what caused Karl Marx to write his Communist Manifesto. The living conditions of the working class-his proletariat, as well as that of the bourgeoisie (the upper class) must have had a profound effect on his views and ideals. In France the living conditions spawned from the actions of the current economy and ruling body. Some of these conditions included poor waste management and the spreading of diseases.[1] Enlightenment ideas developing in France brought him to the theory of socialism, a radical change to self-rule.
