Is it Acceptable to Hate?
Hate plays a role in the life of many people today leading the argument whether hate is acceptable in everyday life. Hate allows nothing but pain and suffering to continue on and feuds to continue through time. Hate is a lifestyle, lived by the people of today's society that don't have the courage to stand up for what is right. Hate allows for people to persecute and discriminate without much reason or cause allowing for these people to not change their ideas and adapt to the world ahead. Hate is not acceptable and should not be tolerated, but in today's world this is a diminishing view as ideas of segregation of people by religion, race, ethnicity, culture and many other factors is very common. The argument should
Many people have their believes and keep them to themselves. Then there are the type of people that feel they have to put their believes into actions and hurt others or destroy things to get their point across. These believes that hurt and destroy others things and lives are called hate crimes. Hate crimes are becoming more and more common everyday. FBI statistics show that the frequency hate crimes in New Jersey are increasing as the frequency some other crimes in New Jersey have been decreasing.
This year’s election has reached new extremes that were never predicted to come about. We have two candidates that are both unfit to run America based on past occurrences and current ordeals. Along with this, there is bound to be arising conflict, yet who knew it would become as horrible as it is?
In my eyes I believe that a society based on hate will not survive. throughout history there have been many societies that tried to be based on hate: for example, nazi germany, north korea, the KKK. Winston says that a society based on hate "would have no vitality. It would disintegrate. It would commit suicide" (Orwell 231).
Envision ambulating down the street and then out of the blue someone shouts obscenities predicated on the way people look or because of what they affiliate with. Incidents involving animosity happen everyday, and most are looked at as daily occurrences. With the current state of hate speech laws, there is nothing that could be done to put culpability on the instigator. Hate has a strong connection to United States history. Slaves were a result of being hateful to those who were different, and Jim Crow laws were also a consequence of this hatred. As much time has passed since then, America has become more progressive, although there are still people who are hateful of others for they way they are. Hate speech laws are necessary in the United States and should be passed because passing them would create and foster a more tolerant society, help to decrease the negative risk associated with them, and prevent violent acts of hate which tend to be preceded by hate speech.
Social norms can potentially act against hate because aggression may be frowned upon by the general public. “Violence-inhibiting social norms and laws are backed up to considerable extent by the threat of public disapproval and, in some cases, the possibility of legal punishment” (Sternberg, 2005, p.172). However, be surrounded by likeminded people who also have the same biases may disinhibit the hate. Additionally, anonymity, the sense that a person is not known by onlookers and the public at large, can cause acts of hate to arise (Sternberg, 2005, p.172). The idea that those committing acts of hate won’t be identified can lead to aggressive behavior. “Social scientists have long noted how people in crowds, each believing that he or she cannot be individually identified in the midst of so many others, can depart from socially approved standards of conduct” (Sternberg, 2005, p.172). This may be why hate crimes usually involve multiple offenders. This can also be used to explain why hatred is carried out in groups within the KKK.
If we want to rebuild society, hate speech should never be tolerated. That’s not to say everyone who’s ever said something harmful can’t learn, but when statements like “I hate lesbians” or “I hate people of color” leave someone’s mouth, our reactions shouldn’t be, “I respect your opinion, but…”, our reaction should be to immediately express that language like that is unacceptable. Words are violent in their own right, and excusing hate speech excuses the violence it causes.
How does one define hate? Webster defines hate as feeling hostility or animosity toward someone. Much like love, hatred is often blind, making people prone to believe things that aren’t true. Many fall victim to this reality, resulting in feelings of animosity and prejudice with little or nothing to back it up. This hatred often has to do with race, religion, gender, politics or sexual orientation. As you know one can’t just go and change his or her skin tone or gender. It isn’t as if one was asked to be white, black, Hispanic, Native American exc., nor female or male. This is just the way the person was born. Seeing it from this point of view I wonder why a person will choose to be a homosexual. It isn’t that the person was born this way,
I personally don't think that we can completely stop hate because there is always someone who is going to judge people because of certain things they do differently but I think we can stop most of it by showing them that all people are equal and you should not think someone is better than the others simply because their skin color, religion ,or thing they do
“Thoughts do more, words do much, and actions do much more,” stated Israelmore Ayivor. People around the globe make a decision that could go horribly wrong or incredibly good. It will always affect someone no matter what. When actions of another person take hold, it causes insecurity and bullying.
Once we understand the harm that hate speech may inflict, we are in a better position to grasp the argument in favour of the legislation that restricts it. Such legislation, in the countries where it exists, aims to uphold important elements of basic social order – and in particular the civic status or basic dignity of all who live in the society. Particularly
Hate comes from a lot of places and the hate that is toward a certain group or people can be countless of reasons. Some examples that we had this year is the gay nightclub shooting where a man attacked an Orlando gay nightclub, killing 50 people, this of course being a hate towards gays and an attack at their community. Mateen pledged allegiance to ISIS on a 911 call, in one of the worst mass shootings in U.S. history, and the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil since 9/11. Then there is a type of hate like though hate doesn't have to exactly be at a certain person or belief, everything that a terrorist does or when a terror attack occurs is hate, the hate that is inside them to commit and go through with these events is
As a human being we have different personalities and appearances that distinguish ourselves from others. Discrimination still exists even after all the events, speeches, and protests that has been expressed there will always be a small spark of racism in such a diverse world. I would imagine discrimination like a white rose overwhelmed in a bouquet of red roses is easily distinguished among the rest. A certain race might think that they are more advanced than the other and would be looked down upon. I wouldn’t really describe discrimination and racism as hate, but more of a social misunderstanding and people who won’t accept the reality that Earth is not made of one race. There are many stories and news about discrimination and racism like
Imagine walking down the street and then out of nowhere a person shouts obscenities at others based on the way they look or because of what they affiliate with. This person may feel as if they have just been both verbally and emotionally attacked. With the current state of hate speech laws, there is nothing that could be done to punish the instigator of the hate speech. Hate has a strong connection to United States history. Slaves were a result of being hateful to those who were different, and Jim Crow laws were a consequence of a hatred for those who were different also. As much time has passed since then, America has gotten more progressive although there are still people who are hateful of others for they way they are. Hate speech laws are necessary in the United States and should be passed because passing them would create and foster a more tolerant society, help to decrease the negative risk associated with them, and prevent violent acts of hate which tend to be preceded by hate speech.

There are many reason of hate, could be anger, heart broken, painful experience about past, envy, or jealous. But common reason people feel hate toward someone, because the feel intimidate with person, or they want attention for some reason. Other people feel some people don't deserve good things.

Two stories is about hate and extremism, and the second one stories due to immigrant justice.
In the United States, many Americans love to express themselves with free speech, but does hate speech count as free speech? No, this venomous speech is not free speech. Even though there is a fine line between the two they both are very different from each other. Hate
