Morality And Stereotypes

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.

There are eight, 1 minute videos of children. Half of the children in the videos are three and the other half are five years old. The videos are also half male and half female. Each participant will have one passport-like photo for each video. There are four photos for each video: one matching the child at the same age, one matching the child but as an infant, one foil (not matching) the child at same age or one foil (not matching) as an infant. The four photo types will be randomly, but equally presented across all the videos. All four photo types of faces are seen twice, each in different orders. The photos will be presented with Qualtrics and the videos will be shown on larger TV screen.

We can apply this saying the more you get to know someone and learn about them, the less judgmental you will be to that particular person (and cultures also). Different cultures do their own routines and traditions. Someone that is outside the culture might disagree with some of the things they are doing, but when they learn about it, they can appreciate them. Geri-Ann Galanti did some observations and wrote a book how different cultures went and did medical practices in different cultures. This was hard for them but they accomplished it successfully.

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

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.

What if I were to tell you that you that for the rest of your life, you would be unfairly judged, and possibly even discriminated against, based on false perceptions and ideas gathered from influences that only resemble you in the vaguest of ways, most likely being, skin color? And what if no matter how an individual person chooses to carry oneself, they will still commonly be regarded as a member of said misconceptions? Enter, stereotype: “A widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing.”(1)

The experiences that we go through throughout our life can influence our moral growth as well as help us depict right from wrong. Based on what has gone on around you, and how different situations have affected you, your mind can rewire to think differently about what is considered right and wrong. I’ve had moral growth and the change in what I thought was right and wrong, by watching the mistakes made by other people and myself , and learning from them. People in my life have shown me exactly how not to treat people, and that the way they are living their life is wrong, so when I feel that I may be headed in the same direction, I think differently. Also i have seen people act differently in different environments, and they change themselves

What makes an idea or belief correct, and similarly, what makes other ideas incorrect? Throughout our lives, we have built a moral code for ourselves around the ideas we believe to be right. Every day, people continually practice the use of the codes they have built for themselves often without thinking twice about the motivation for their actions. Most people can self-justify beliefs and make their own decisions by simply referring to their moral code; however, what if the moral code a person had constructed was incorrect?

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.

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

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

For example, it is possible to see a man wearing a pair of jeans, a t-shirt, a pair of old, worn shoes, and a hat that appeared to have taken quite a bit of abuse over the years it had been worn, and listening to the kind of music that he prefers, and soon thereafter, witness another man, dressed in a full suit: silk tie, brand new shoes that were so glossy you could see your reflection in them. Then the business man, as he will be referred to in order to make this example simpler, that passed the average man, the one in the t-shirt and jeans, acquired the most disgusted look possible to have been seen on a man’s face, simply because of the fact that his clothes were more expensive than the average man. The business man’s face contorted in a truly repulsive fashion. His eyebrows drew towards the center of his face and down to his nose. His eyes squinted and became even more beady and harsh looking than they had before. His upper lip curled upwards on the right side and revealed his blindingly white teeth. His nose wrinkled along the bridge. This is an obvious sign that the business man believed that he was better than the average man by far.

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

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.
