Why Is Prejudice Important To Me

The characters both share qualities of the same agender but use them for different reasoning. For instance, Mr. Harrison and Atticus are very similar in a way that they are both driven to look beyond what is in front of them. They believe in ways that others don’t and are always looking to the future. We can see that Mary Jackson and Tom share a similarity when they both stand for trials in court. Katherine and Atticus also share a similarities as they stand up and defend people whether it be another person or themselves.

Most Americans often compare themselves with characters from their favorite movie or book. In fact, some people may even visualize themselves as their favorite character when they are watching a movie or reading a book. I relate most with the movie character Tip from the animated movie Home. Tip is very similar to me because she loves traveling and sight-seeing, she adores her pets, and she would do anything for her mom.

Prejudice is when we have a preconceived opinion about someone or a group of people that is formed without knowledge, or even a real understanding about them.

Similarities and differences are present between nearly anything. For instance, two books can be compared in regards to their themes. Likewise, multiple people can be contrasted in regards to their personality. Similarities and differences can be good and bad and they can also help one to clearly see which of the subjects that are being compared are better than the other. Another example of where two subjects can be compared is in Macbeth and The Social Network, in regards to the characters. One may wonder how such different pieces of work could possibly be compared and contrasted, but after analyzing both pieces, it is clear that such similarities and differences exist. Characters

In Mississippi, 1930’s, the Logan family decided to keep their land, during this time things were rough when it came to money and racism in the South. I would have sold the land because there was physical and emotional abuse to people of color, people were being treated unfairly due to racism, and the land was very hard to pay for especially while living during the time of the Great Depression. To start with I would have sold because, of the physical and emotional abuse that was directed at African Americans during this time. In Document D it states “...the Wallace family brutally burn three African-American men without facing any punishment Mama… tires to organize a boycott.”

According to the Merriam Webster Dictionary similarity is defined as a quality that makes one person or thing like another. ("Merriam-Webster") Many people tend to believe that diversification is what makes life interesting, this is true; however, humans are genetically inclined to remain with what they are familiar with. Humans are generally creatures of habit, they will continue going to the same coffee shop, order the exact same coffee, every single time they visit: the similar elements bring them comfort. Authors are no different than the average person: they will only write about what they are familiar with. In the Devil and Tom Walker and Rip Van Winkle, we see that the author Washington Irving uses similarities in setting, male protagonists, female antagonists, and mystic characters.

People can look alike, yet be very different. One of the best examples from literature of people who look almost alike, but are very different are Charles Darnay and Sydney Carton from “A Tale of Two Cities” by Charles Dickens. Although Sydney Carton looks nothing but a worthless person than Charles Darnay, as the book progresses, Carton seems to be changing.

Families have many traits that they pass on to one another. Some of these traits may be biological, or they may be shown in actions. Rebecca Nurse, a distant relative of mine, and I have many character traits in common. Rebecca is a character in The Crucible who is based off of a real woman who lived during the Salem Witch Trials. I can relate myself best to Rebecca Nurse because we both share a bond with children, stubborn attitudes, and think logically in situations.

The two characters I decided to talk about are Eckels from A Sound of Thunder and the Narrator from The Scarlet Ibis. Even though these two characters are in very different situations, have very different conflicts, and are very different from each other, these two characters still have some interesting similarities. And Even though they do have some similarities to each other they show them in complete different ways from each other.

Some individuals can be nothing alike, black and white, or hero and villain. But it is unquestionable that everyone has something in common. For example, in S.E. Hinton’s novel The Outsiders , two greasers who go by the name of Johnny and Dally are far from alike. Dally is mean, tough, and likes to fight, Johnny is kind, sensitive, and a pacifist. But, they still share some similarities; Both characters come from abusive and neglectful parents, and place very little value on their lives. Even when presented with these character traits one could still compare and contrast the two greasers with ease.

Mariana Adams-Foster is quite similar to a person I know well. I am that person. She is a character from The Fosters. Her character and I have all sorts of things in common with each other. A character from a book or movie that I think is similar to me is Mariana Adams-Foster from The Fosters because we share several physical characteristics, character traits, and interests.

William hercules and I are very different, yet similar. We are different because we have different strengths and weaknesses. for example my strength is my decision making. Hercules’s is his strength and Williams is his brain. The way we are similar is how creatively we use these strengths. We may have different abilities but it’s how we use them that makes us similar.

In psychology, prejudice is different from discrimination. Prejudice is an unjustifiable and often negative stereotyped attitude that a person holds against the members of a particular social group. Whereas, discrimination is when prejudicial attitudes cause members of a particular group to be treated differently than others in situations that call for equal treatment. Thus, prejudice leads to discrimination. There are several factors that contribute to prejudice and discrimination, and there are many techniques for reducing the development of prejudice and discrimination.

In today’s world, there are many social issues, like poverty, vandalism and unemployment. However, prejudice has become the most dramatic one. Prejudging people for their appearance is a common practice that humans perform. People are not only ridiculed for their color, but also by their religion, sex or age. Therefore, I consider that racism, ageism and sexism are the three major problems in our society and we need to cease them immediately. Much of our world’s history were based upon racism. In the 1600’s, white men used Africans as slaves and treated them as they were not human. "Colored" people were not even allowed to use the same drinking fountains as white people. Fortunately, in the last three decades, race

In any society, how we see ourselves and how others treat us depends on many factors. Race, ethnicity, and cultural background are identifiers of individuals. Most people have confronted prejudice based on these identifiers, either personally experiencing discrimination or knowing someone who has. Beyond ensuring organizational compliance with a country’s anti-discrimination laws, it is incumbent upon managers to support diversity in the workplace and to be culturally competent.
