The Many Ways Of Dealing With Life

With every great person, there are others behind them supporting them. One person that inspired me was, Dr. Yvonne Thornton, her story reminded me of myself. For example; when she stated her father brought her a car so she would never have to get in the car with a male (something my dad did). Also her rabbit theory, which is the way my family taught me, never cheat, but always learn from the next whether dealing with life or school. My Aunt Brenda and Uncle Cliff also inspired me in many ways. All my life I saw them be nothing but the best, they taught me lessons of life, how to be better, and how to treat others. My Aunt and Uncle taught me always do better than before, never let anybody tell me I’m not good enough, only except or higher. I can honestly say they are great inspiration to me and what I strive to be in the future. My Aunt Brenda’s words of wisdom are; “Remember God is always first in your

It is important and essential to treat different people as individuals and to try and meet their needs rather than stereotyping people. E.g. all old people are the same. Treating everyone the same is failing to respect diversity.

I was encouraged to look at life in a favorable and positive light, but the truth is, the world isn't a quintessential place, and it most likely never will be. I know that that might sound depressing, but we don't live in a world of black and white anymore. We live in a time where people are free to be themselves and have their own ideas. Even though this is a remarkable step forward in our society, it also means that conflict will always be around the corner. With more people voicing their opinions there is bound to be more confrontation between those people. These individuals refuse to be kept in categories defining them by their race, gender, sexuality, and appearance. The unfortunate side to this is that there will always be people willing to use hate and discrimination to try and gain the upper hand against these

​We live in a society where we must fit and understand social justice. Its justice in terms of how wealth is distributed and the different opportunities and privileges amongst the people. Viewing things in an ethical manner allows people to make decisions based on position of self and society. People all over transpire from many different ethnic backgrounds leaving the world very diverse. What people fail to realize is that not everyone can be the same. If that was the case it would be unusual to see different races, gender, and language. The things that make up our community is what makes us unique and stand out as a nation. People must not become blind to the things that make

Do you think that it is important to learn about and accept other people? I believe that it can benefit us all if we did. I have a quote that I believe is a foundation for my views. “We as human beings, must be willing to accept people who are different from ourselves”, written by Barbara Jordan, is a quote that means people should be able to put aside their beliefs of one another. Two texts that I will be discussing: “American Flag Stands for Tolerance” and “Universal Declaration of Independence”, along with contents from the documentary “My So-Called Enemy” will be used to show you why it is important to accept others that our different from ourselves. We people need to try to understand that everybody has somethings that contrasts from the next person. No one always agrees with someone else, nor do we share same opinions, ideas, or likings, however those things that make us different are actually what makes us same.

Some humans can’t accept difference. Most humans are locked up in a world where everyone has to be just like them. The novel Downsiders by Neal Shusterman is an example of this. The novel has the theme that when people separate into groups and cultures, they have a hard time understanding the opposite and tend to judge. But those who accept, benefit greatly.

Accepting the differences of others by expanding your own level of understanding begins with the awareness that your own culture

Being understanding and accepting of others can’t be useful in establishing positive relationships with those that are different from us. I the short story “What of This Goldfish, Would you Wish?” by Etgar Keret, the characters show how they do and do not accept people who are different. In the short story “ the wife's story” by Ursla k. Le Guin, the characters reveal that they're not accepting of people who are different than them. Lastly in from texas v.s johnson a majority court opinion by William J. Brennan, there are examples of acceptance of those who are different.

People tend to reject what is different. Our differences/diversities can lead to growth as a society or it can lead to violence and hatred. We must value our diversity in order to work together for the common good of our society/world.

In conclusion the way we treat, talk, and overall communicate with those different than us in a multitude of ways cannot be determined as a positive or accepting way. We as a society must work together in order to promote acceptance. Today, all we hear is talk about Donald Trump’s desire to build a wall, but what need is there for a physical wall when we already have ones encasing our minds and hearts? We as humans beings often treat those who are different with closed minds and closed hearts, but that can change if we all join together to remove one brick at a

There exist two types of people one can meet open-minded liberals and narrow-minded traditionalists. People who dismiss diversity profess that any difference, unconventional or unnecessary, is not accepted in society because of they, themselves, have a specific pattern and system. Traditionalists express extreme dissatisfaction purely because their moral judgments reflect a view of the world that seems proper. Regarding the universal subject of Ourselves and Others, judgment of others are usually prejudiced, usually, reflective thought based on ethnicities or cultures. However, if one were to accept others, the act, itself, would not guarantee contribution toward the good of society. Instead, accepting diversity damages society because

Everyone is a single unique individual, there is no doubt that every one of us is different from the other people more or less in some ways. However, humans are social animals, it is normal to see societies supporting mainstream thoughts. In order to blend in with the mainstream societies, majority of the people choose to hide their differences; in contrast, those people who are unwilling to abandon their different thoughts and live outside of societies represent the idea of “otherness”.

Complementing this dual nature of ‘othering’, Schmidt Bunkers (2003) explains the remarkable paradox concerning the other: “Never has the world been more dangerous, with terrorism continuing to spark suspicions of those that are different from us. And, never, at the same time, has the world been more in need of finding ways to embrace those that are different and those that are viewed as

In today 's society, “people are closed minded,” and do not take the opportunity getting to know the other person because of stereotyping and racism. Even though we all have different opinions toward other cultures, norms, beliefs and values we should all respect each other differences. We should consider learning from one another and not judge a person based on their race, ethnicity, gender and religion. As a society, it is very important; we educated ourselves in other cultures, even though we all have different values and beliefs.

If they are different from your society that you have been raised by, maybe it’s time to change your view on people because no one should be left out of anything for the wrong reasons. Being different from everyone else is a quality that we should embrace in ourselves and in others.
