I read a letter that you had received from Mr.Bull and I am writing to complain about my dissatisfaction about his letter. Firstly, I had difficulty in reading his letter full of stereotypes about Swedish people. He even refers that Swedish people behave like pigs when they are drunk and he is clearly being verbally assaulting. I tried to contact your company about getting his letter removed from the newspaper but the company set up a new registration facility and I found the new registration system totally useless and your newspaper website refused to accept my account application several times. Secondly, Mr Bull expresses himself, as he knew everything about Sweden and about Swedish people. I totally disagree with his opinions that swedes treat each other as objects and not people. Swedes are known as shy people and maybe their shyness can be misinterpreted because swedes are genuinely kind hearted people. I am also concerned about his lack of understanding and many people start humiliating individuals when they have generalized negative. Therefore I think that …show more content…
To create a certain impression and make a correct statement takes time and I don’t think that Mr. Bull stayed in Sweden for so long to make a correct statement about Swedish people. Therefore it is not up to him to decide how swedes interact with other human beings. I expect that you remove Mr. Bulls letter from the newspaper because there are many impressionable young people out there that may get a wrong picture about the Swedish people. In addition, many swedes out there may read this letter and take offence. I would also appreciate if the newspaper company would investigate about this problem to prevent a similar incident from recurring - not only on my behalf but also on behalf of other customers. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter and I look forward to hearing from you soon with a full resolution to my

In Tom Junod’s “The State of The American Dog,” Junod argues that pitbull’s are not beasts, but a loving dog breed that is just misunderstood. Junod supports his claim by giving to opposing sides of pitbulls with beliefs and facts throughout the article. Junod opens his article by telling the readers that he owns pit bulls and how trust the dogs with his daughter. Junod brings up his dog Dexter is attacked, Junod expresses “He was breathing through his nose, but there was an untroubled serenity in his eyes, almost an innocence”. I believe that Tom Junod was trying to express how Dexter was provoked, by the cocker spaniel and when Dexter was biting the other dog on his neck, he did not want any harm done to the other dog, but Dexter was simply trying to protect himself and his owner. After the unfriendly encounter with the cocker spaniel. The owner told junod that Dexter handled that very well and he seems like a peaceful dog. Junod expresses his feelings with how pit bulls are viewed in modern America and how they have changed over time due to how the media and society portrays them. Junod then brings up how pit bulls are treated and if their so called aggressiveness is genetic or is it their environment that they are placed in. That animals need love and care if you show them love then they will show the the affection they receive. Junod then introduces how pit bulls are given away without remorse. They end up in kill shelters

For most of my awkward teenage years my classmates were afraid to tell me dumb blonde jokes. When I asked why they were unwilling to share their joke, their eyes would go straight to my hair, implying that I was the dumb blonde. This was the first time I had to question one of the most trivial jokes as if it was a reflection of myself and my mind. It was as if my peers believed my hair color measured the amount of intelligence I possessed. To generalize is “to make something more widespread or common” (Dictionary). Society had made a generalization about my hair color and now I was experiencing the consequences. Malcolm Gladwell, a writer for The New Yorker wrote the essay “Troublemaker; What Pit Bulls can teach us about profiling”. He comments on society’s habit to veer into the territory of generalizations and stereotypes. Utilizing examples such as pit bulls, Muslims as terrorists, and the New York Police Department, to convey his point. He first structures his essay by agreeing with the judgment of banning pit bulls. Unexpectedly, he takes a turn and declares that it is not the pit bulls that are the problem, but societies assumptions about the breed.

Stereotypes usually are known to affect their topic of discussion, as they often express a negative viewpoint. Whether it be towards a race of people, a type of food, or a type of animal. Like how our stereotypes are often relatable when it comes to objectifying a race of people or a breed of dogs. Such as pit bulls a breed of dogs that are highly profiled as “aggressive dogs” it is stereotypes like this that affect such a good dog breed. Yet, this did not stop Prime Minister John Major of Great Britain to comment “Such dogs have no place in our home” and putting more than 10,000 pit bulls on death row(. Because pitbulls are not dangerous, as Dobermans, Rottweilers, Great Danes, and German Shepherds are known as frequent bitter. Yet, people tend to exaggerate and explode the media when a dog bite and/or attack was done by a pit bull. (Gladwell 1) Or they get the name that pitbulls are not a family dog, as they were believed to first be used for Bull Baiting and Dogfighting but before that pit bulls were often used as babysitters for children.(Stevens 1) So although a pitbull can be known for its “aggressive behavior” or “untamed tendencies” yet, the characteristics missed are the stereotypes that should be mentioned
One of the most important ideas stressed in Buber’s article is the importance of “Being” instead of “Seeming”. “Being” means that the person allows their true self to show through in their interactions and they do not try to hide or mask how they feel or their opinion. “Seeming” on the other hand means that a person puts on a facade to hide their true self. Buber describes Seeming and Being as cowardly and courageous respectively. It is important that every individual try to be in Being mode as much as possible for Interpersonal communication to be effective. An example of this is when people try to hide opinions or actions that they may think others will look down on them for, instead of trying to explain their opinion or the reason
