Reasons To Acceptin Stereotypes

In “The Psychology of eating Animals,” published in 2014 issue of Current Directions in Psychological Science, Steve Loughnan, Brock Bastion, and Nick Haslam argues the psychological process of “meat paradox”(104). Loughnan and Haslam earned their degree in Psychological Science from University of Melbourne and Bastian also earned his degree in Psychological Science from University of Queensland(104). Many people have different thought process when eating meat, they explain, “to understand the psychology of eating animals by examining characteristics of the eaters (people), the eaten (animals), and the eating (the behavior)”(104). In the another study that they cites shows; that vegetarians have moral concerns for animals that are being used

People are not prone to agree with one another. If you gather a dozen people together for a dinner party and the subject turns to politics or religion, then there is inevitably going to be an argument. There is one thing, however, that there is a near universal consensus on: chocolate is a wonderful and delicious thing.

Opinion: “Opinions are intensely personal, so it is understandable that people have strong feelings about theirs. (Ruggiero, 2010, p.34). Your opinion may not be the truth but for an individual it is a personal view and not any one else’s.

Everyday at school, my friends and I classify what we want to eat for lunch. We discuss beforehand because we take forever to agree with one another. The choices are between fries with chicken, chicken sandwich with chips, a bowl of fruit or pizza. I personally love to get the bowl with fruit because I love watermelon, however the line is extremely long; one of the reasons why my friends always oppose with me. They generally like to eat chicken with fries but I’m the one that opposes because I still have a hungry stomach with that food. As me being the nice friend, I go ahead and accept their decision with what they want.

Conformity is a form of social influence, when we conform we act and think like members of our group. Often people even alter or change their personal beliefs to match those around them. When we conform we feel pressured to fit in with others, to be a part of the majority. While we may still have contradicting beliefs towards things, we change our behaviors and actions to match what everybody else is

To understand why we have a sense of conformity, we must first understand value. “Values are used to learn people’s culture, ideas, and what they want out of life (Henslin 49). Every culture has similar and different values. “Norms are the expectations a group develops concerning the ‘right’ way to reflects its values” (Henslin49). An example of a norm would be personal space and speaking quietly in certain places such as a library. When norms are violated people often begin to question the person’s sanity and well-being based on how extreme the norm violation was.

In 1955 the Civil Rights movement started and then came to an end in 1968. The goal of the movement was to end Racial Segregation and discrimination. While the event was able to put an end to segregation, it barely made a difference on ending discrimination. Even today, each race has been stereotyped to have certain actions or be specialized in a certain category. African Americans are seen as the “thugs” in society, Hispanics are mostly thought of as illegals, and middle easterners that wear hijabs are seen as terrorists. The racial stereotyping needs to be toned down and the unacceptable labeling in society has to come to an end.

The way people view the world is entirely subjective, albeit often dangerous. From Hitler to Charles Manson, some of the most evil people in history have had a distorted idea of the worlds’ reality. The perception and assumptions that human beings make about one another are also entirely subjective. From opinions about people, to views on a situation or event, the human mind, and imagination, interprets what the eyes behold in many different ways. However, those with untamed and illogical imaginations often cause dangerous and unnecessary problems from their wrongful assumptions, accusations, or desires.

I do not usually try new things but let’s assume my friend wants to eat at a sushi restaurant. In order for me to be Fair-mindedness I would consider the option and understand my friend’s viewpoint towards sushi food. In conclusion, I decide to give it a try which allows my viewpoint about it to change.

Have you ever wondered why the things that taste bad to you may taste good to someone else? Why is that if we all have taste buds? The question is, are our taste buds the same, do our taste buds trigger the same taste. I have a theory that the replacement of our taste buds gives people different flavors in their mouths, such as something that's too sweet, sour, bitter, or salty to us may not be to others, because every two weeks or so, the taste buds that are coming into your mouth may not be in someone else's mouth.

“You’re not buying the product, you’re buying the brand.” The 2013 movie Syrup follows the career of Scat/Michael as he goes through his ups and downs—with fellow marketer Six—in the marketing industry. In a span of an hour and a half, the movie depicts how the marketing industry works and how powerful it can be in influencing its consumers. Syrup, directed by Aram Rappaport, shows how important image is in the marketing industry. It stresses that it does not matter what a product looks like or tastes like.

attempting to convince our friends where their judgments went awry. With no room for tolerance and compromising, it’s our way or the highway! Are our judgments purely sentiments based on feeling, or might there be a priori foundations of taste, capable of leading us to universal consensus?

Something or someone presented an idea or a thought that tugged at our hearts and made us feel like that is the answer to all my questions about this life. However, if we listen to only that one thought, and never compare it to the many others, how can we know that it actually means anything at all? Furthermore, if someone told another to murder and that person accepted that blindly because it came from a superior does that still make it correct or of sound judgement? In all actuality, no it does not and we all as people understand this to be true because a huge number people from every background presented solid evidence to the contrary, and mankind was improved through

What if I told you what you like and dislike are not always necessarily your own choice?

To further explain, if a person views something that is beautiful and that is all he is capable of understanding, the objects physical beauty, then he does not understand the ultimate truth behind that object and its beauty it possesses drawing to a personal opinion of that object. Thus, an opinion is simply an incomplete truth. An opinion is not necessarily wrong in its idea, rather it is simply not a complete idea or understanding. To be a complete idea and understanding, the idea must be universal. This is a key to philosophical thought.
