False Perception Paper

People with low social statuses are probably more likely to commit crimes. There is no guidance in black communities, there is no people to tell them someone to not do something, We are in the right positions according to them, they want us to break the law so they can arrest us and incarcerate us and make us work for free. The school to prison pipeline is something serious. Students that fight , get put out of class, and sent to the principal office are probably more likely to go from school to prison and its just ridiculous how easy it is for someone else to follow in that person’s footsteps. They want us to believe that committing crimes is cool just because you are from an area that is low in the social class. If you look on social media all you see is “ Free this person “ and “ free that person “ and it’s ridiculous because that is just what the Prison and law systems want. I know there are a couple of lawyers that have the motive to try and get black people committed. I don’t know his name but he says black people killed his parents so I guess that he is trying to get

Black on Black crime, has always existed, just like any other group that commits crimes among each other. Wouldn 't it make sense that if black people live around other black people in "black neighborhoods", that they would most likely kill other black people? Doesn 't take a rocket scientist. Similar to how white people have a high rate of killing other whites because often, they live in, you guessed it, outside the hood, and inside their own white neighborhoods. The News continues to report that Black on Black crime is at an all time high, but how legit are the facts to this broadcasting, really?

Deception occurs when information is knowingly and intentionally for the purpose of creating a false belief in the receiver (Floyd, 2016 p.375). Depending on an individual’s upbringing lying can have someone felling guilt and nervousness. Lies allow us to be afraid of the truth while we try to find an escape from the problem. Growing up I can recall how worried I felt when I told a lie, that fear of being caught and the consequences that might come from someone finding out. Now as I grow old my feelings are still in the same place, however, I my learning through my experiences that lying doesn't just deceive the receiver but I can deceive myself. I feel regret when I tell a lie no matter the reason or circumstances it can never be rationalized, I’m still creating a false reality.

The opening statement of the article Looks can deceive: Why Perception and Reality Don't Always Match Up by Christof Koch reads as follows; “When you are facing a tricky task, your view of the world may not be as accurate as you think” (Koch, 2010) In this article Koch argues that a human’s conscious perception of the world is neither static or accurate. That people everywhere are incapable of being one hundred percent objective and therefore their awareness of objects surrounding them is dependent on factors such as personal strength, confidence, fears and desires. Koch states that being human is equal to “seeing the world through your own, constantly shifting, lens” (Koch, 2010)

In this article, as the title suggests, it explains the use of social class differences to explain racial differences in crime. Among earlier arguments are the subculture of violence and subculture of poverty theories, which argue that African Americans tend to have pro-crime norms and values. The article's author, Robert D. Crutchfield, goes in depth with recent and more advanced theories to explain the link between poverty, crime, and race, while criticizing the subcultural theories. These new theories tell a different view from that of the subcultural theories with evidence showing that economic disadvantage and the way how society is structured accounts for the link between poverty, crime, and race. From these evidence, ethnographers conclude

The Perception of the Perception The subjective nature of perception is an inborn characteristic humanity. However, humans found the ability to still classify knowledge under two categories, objective and subjective. Knowledge in the subjective sense, or subjective knowledge for short, is the individual knowledge that each person gains through personal experiences. Artists often try to portray a scene that has an emotional and psychological effect on the viewer, by drawing on their own experiences and thoughts.

This high incarceration rate has led researches to say that being in prison has become a normal part of a black man’s adulthood, mainly for the ones that lived in poverty in urban neighborhoods. At this time of high incarceration a whole social group was define as criminals because of their race, age and class. Incarceration is usually associated with low incomes, unemployment, and family, restrictions on voting, social rights and recidivism. “High incarceration rates among black and low education men have been traced to similar sources. The slim economic opportunities and turbulent living conditions of young disadvantaged and black men may lead them to crime”(Pettit and Western, 2004, p. 152). If you add this with poor minority groups the social stigma just increases which then can lead to higher scrutiny by police

The book’s fourth chapter, “Where have All the Criminals Gone?” in particular, includes several subjects the authors acknowledge will “provoke a variety of reactions, ranging from disbelief to revulsion, and a variety of objections” (140). By this point, readers already know the authors’ view that the legalization of abortion in Roe v. Wade caused the drop in crime during the 1990s because this idea first appears on page four. Rather than simply explaining why abortion lowered crime rates, Levitt and Dubner use a chart to introduce seven explanations commonly cited by experts for the sudden drop in crime during the 1990s, then examine the authenticity of each one. The first possible cause is “a fairly uncontroversial one: the strong economy”

This stems from years of systematic dehumanization of black people in the media. Where blacks are, again, disproportionately represented as violent and dangerous when crime rates overall have decreased and the U.S. is as safe as it was in the 1970s. This problem allows for the criminalization of black men, and consequently the death of black

Another question exists however. Why are Black individuals more likely to commit crime? This can be confusing as to why this occurs. Both Black and white people who grow up in the same society are capable and have the same opportunities, so why is it that black individuals have a higher crime rate. We can figure this out by looking at examples of other first world countries and data seems to show that major causes of crime are traced back to poverty, family conditions, and drugs. The fact is even though many black families are living prosperous successful lives in north America they still lag behind economic status with 35 % of African Americans living in poverty compared to 13% of all Americans. Also 72% of black children are raised by a single

Black fathers in the United States are more prone to becoming more absent from their children's lives. A key factor to the absence of these fathers is because of mass incarceration due to police brutality, drugs, felonies, and murders. Many of these black men commit the crimes knowingly, therefore knowing that it could lead them to jail or prison. These men are deliberately committing the crimes that have become part of their lifestyle because they are determined to live a life of wealth and luxury. Even though there are opportunities for these men to work legally to earn their money they still chose to do it the illegal way. Guns and drug charges are the two main factors in causing these men to be absent from their children's lives. The lives

According to statistics provided by the Department of Justice, in 2014 African-American males aged 15-34 - 3 percent of the population - committed 33 percent of violent crimes in America. African-American people as a whole, despite only being 13 percent of the population committed just under 55 percent of violent crimes in America for 2014. Alarming statistics have come out about the violent nature of African-America people in America and around the world since the 1950’s. Crime happens everywhere and its perpetrators are worldwide. When it comes to crime there are basically 3 arguments as to why it happens and how it happens. This first one says that crime is necessary evil. The argument says that crime “strengthens group cohesion” it makes

In the Moynihan Report, Moynihan talks about racism and discrimination and how that comes into play with African American youth. He identified that there are five factors in a home environment that made a difference in whether boys would become delinquents: discipline of boy by father, supervision of boy by mother, affection of father for boy, affection of mother for boy, and cohesiveness of family (U.S. Department of Labor, 1965). Nowadays, more African Americans men have been leaving their homes or have been incarcerated leaving the women alone with the child(ren) and with a lesser chance of getting married. Incarcerated men are away from their home for years at a time and this disturbs the family’s routine that have been set in place. As Moynihan mentions in his report, the youth, especially males, could be affected by this sudden change (U.S. Department of Labor, 1965). The child no longer has those five factors in a home environment to make a difference in his live. In the United States, 5 percent of all African American men are incarcerated, compared to less than 1 percent (0.5 percent) of their white counterparts. African American men are ten times more likely to be incarcerated than white men (Hattery and Smith, 2012: 120). With incarceration increasing within the black community, leaving the family with one or no income, this is a factor as to the incline of single mothers and could also be another factor as to the increase in poverty among the black

False memories are memories which have never really occurred but the person who holds them is convinced of the opposite. Therefore, as Kenneth S. Pope specifies in his research, false memory syndrome is “a condition in which a person’s identity and interpersonal relationships are centered around a memory of a traumatic experience which is objectively false but which the person strongly believes.” Truth be told, everyone may have memories which might not be true but the syndrome is confirmed only if the anamnesis affects and determines the person’s whole personality and behavior.
