Morality And Stereotypes

Media, defined as a mean of mass communication that reaches and influences the general audience. When the media is combined with moral theories, known as the guides for humans to figure out what actions are either right or wrong, it creates a balance in our entertainment about what is ethical or not to display on society. By having various Moral Theories and none of them being one 100 percent perfect, it causes humans to create their own satisfactory moral theory. My own satisfactory moral theory, in essence, is a combination of being able to take into consideration my personal relationships while still making an impact in my community, society and the world. Having morals in the media is what allows us to know when one may cross the line.

Based upon the lecture it is now my opinion that race is an ideology and should not be considered a physical fact. As presented in the lecture, just because someone appears to be black, does not mean they should be classified as solely “black.” The example given about Barack Obama having a white birth mother and black birth father, and yet he is classified as black. I am curious to know if Obama himself classifies himself as black, or if this is something the public classifies him as. I think most people consider race as a physical fact but should not. An example being when someone appears to be Asian, but in reality they could be a mixture of different ethnicities. Many stereotypes are based upon physical facts, rather than the actual knowledge

The film does have a very important and very controversial content. The film was violent and showed things as I truly believe the way things were. Yes, it was hard to watch at times, but it was the truth. The film is a really good example on what happens when people live life with hatred in their hearts. A good thing that Derek’s younger brother Danny learned that he wrote on his paper is “hate is baggage, life is too short to be p*ssed off all the time, it’s just not worth it” and I agree with him.

This past discussion that we had in class was very interesting. Growing up in the world that we live in you tend to see things on social media but not really grasp the idea of what you saw. I really did not learn about any of this growing up. The idea of multiple genders I didn’t see it in my schools my parents did not really talk about it. To be honest they did not talk about that topic at all. I don’t know if they are ignorant on that topic or they refuse to acknowledge it. I’ve seen and heard people talk about it but I’ve never really knew about it. It wasn’t until I went to class and that I learned more in depth into it. Growing up in a strict religious Caribbean household there is a lot of conversations that do not happen. I think they would lowkey

A thirteen year old boy who attends the Chimacum Middle School in Washington sexually assaulted a seven year old girl on the school bus they share. Since both students are minors their identities are being withheld from news reports. The Huffington Post shared the story on July 3 that the youthful teen raped the seven year old girl multiple times and is being charged with three counts of first-degree rape.

Yes, I felt peer pressured into behavior norms of a group. Growing up my friends silly and always wanted to be doing stuff that we weren't suppose to be doing. I knew it was wrong, but still did it. No, I never engaged in social loafing, but I had it done to me before. In pervious group the members don't pull their own weight, which I get stuck doing more work. This all goes back to the group grading journal we completed. Yes, I've been caught up in destructive actions within a group. This happened growing up when I didn't know any better. Everything my friends did and I didn't agree with it, but I still went along with them. Example: My friend wanted to go somewhere that we weren't suppose to go. I told her we shouldn't go because we would

PER REPORTER: The reporter said the following information was disclosed to her today by the children’s grandmother (Pamela) due to her being concerned about the safety of her grandchildren. According to Pamela, her grandchildren told her when they were first placed in Kathleen’s home they were almost raped due to another female child placed in the home with them sneaking boys in the house through the window. It is unknown where Kathleen was when this situation was going on but the reporter said she believes she confronted the child that snuck the boys in about her behavior due to her catching them. Pamela said to her understanding her grandchildren were not raped by the guys due to Amber hitting one of the guys in the head with a rock. It is unknown how many guys were actually let into the home but the reported said Pamela told her one of the guys was only nine years old.

Prejudice and stereotypes occur in all societies. Thus, yes, I have seen it take place in American society--plenty of times actually. I can recall an instance when I've heard others call African Americans good athletes, Asians bad drivers, Mexicans poor, and the list goes on. I've heard these assumptions at school, sport's practice, in the news, and even with friends and families. While prejudice and stereotypes happen everywhere, I was inevitably and surely going to encounter it. I've been told that I eat dogs because I am filipino however, I don't ever recall eating it lol. :-) I remember a conversation with my coworker: "You are filipino? That means you sing, right?" Well, I can't exactly be upset since he was actually right. But his assumption

There are multiple things horribly wrong with society, but what makes up society? We do. Welcome to a world where you are defined by what you wear and you get judged by are idea of perfection, also don’t forget about the thousands of stereotypes you will be placed under.

Even though many cultures have the same basic moral codes, but the defined codes differ from place to place, so therefore the American citizens need to teach them the right way to act and think. However teaching aliens the moral code of the North was not the only thing that the national residents wanted to do. Therefore they wanted them to also be patriotic of the United States not the aliens’ original place of nationality. Through this process, they wanted to make sure that the immigrants were loyal to the United States and they wanted them to conform to society's standards.

When I think about New York I think of happiness. Loud, busy, fast paced, happiness. Being from New York I considered myself and everyone else in my family to be a New Yorker. According to Oxford English Dictionary being a New York refers to a person who was born or lives in New York. I was not born in New York, but I was raised there for a lot of my childhood. Plus all of my sisters and father were born there, and a lot of my extended family still live there. The state of New York has always seemed like a perfect home to me; although, a lot of outsiders do not see it as perfect.

In twenty-first century, our society already develops into an advanced technology level. However, somebody’s thoughts are not highly enough. Ideology leads different phenomenon to the society. Some phenomena are negative, and some are circumscribed. Such as: formalism, postmodernism, and stereotypes. Stereotype is a classic circumscribed ideology. Stereotype is a thought may or may not accurately reflect reality, be adopted for specific types of individuals or certain ways of doing things. This perspective came from one specific example; some special habits of a group can make others think it is the group habit. When a police officer chat with an elder, a kid tells the officer: “Your dad is arguing with my dad!” the elder wonders whom the

The United States is commonly referred to as a “melting pot” or “salad bowl” of different races and ethnicities living and working together. However, not all of these groups of people are treated the same. In the past years, many people in America, especially people of color, have been oppressed or discriminated. Young black males have been accused of being armed and then they are fatally shot to death. Homosexuals are being attacked by homophobic people, even though the law states that gay marriage is legal in all states. Muslims are known as terrorists just because of their religion and the way they dress. Hispanics are put under the stereotype of being drug addicts and rapists. Every Asian is Chinese. The #alllivesmatter movement are still

Over the course of this semester we documented occurrences in our everyday life related to stereotypes, prejudice and discrimination. Furthermore the critical examination of the events, behaviors, and responses from these documented occurrences provide a platform to properly reflect on. Primarily centered on substantial information I noticed about my experiences and how those experiences related to information in the text. Consequently exploring emotions I felt during the progression of the semester, what I learned about others and what I learned about myself. Documenting events that illustrated stereotypes based on people’s group membership in my environment has increased my awareness of how often people rely on stereotypes.

There are around 7.5 billion living people that reside on this little blue ball we call Earth; Not to mention the 112.5 billion people that have passed, as they too lived their own lives to the fullest they knew how. Each and every one of these people have or have had family, friends, accomplishments, goals, and values. Each one of them is different. With this many people, all being brought up in vastly varied regions, with different home lives and relationships, with only having what’s around them to base themselves on, it’s no wonder we don’t all get along. We all have our own beliefs, whether it be through religion, lessons passed down from generationally, or personal values, it’d be impossible for all of us to come together for anything.
