Immigration is not just a political stance a person can make. It is taking on the feeling and hardships of all immigrants today onto your back and expressing their voices who can not speak for themselves. So when politicians like trump have inconsiderately made ways just so that all immigrants needs to be sent out. You are the one that needs to stand up for action express for those who can't and take down that border which all it is doing is just taking tax money. Something as practical as immigration does not need to be made into something moral. Dreamers should be allowed to keep dreaming, with their lives in their own hands. If we can make that jump where we are united not only can we take away our sins, we can contribute to this nation

Modern day stereotypes and prejudice only help to nationalize the hysteria and make it appear like less of a problem and more like entertainment. This can be seen, specifically, with the current Syrian Refugee Crisis occurring in the United States. Walter Kirn, an American novelist and literary critic, stated that ‘‘Everyone loves a witch hunt as long as it’s someone else’s witch being hunted.’’ (Kirn, Walter). Thus, proving that the Crucible was also looked upon as daily entertainment and the Syrian Refugee Crisis. Society has become more susceptible to hysteria since the Salem Witch Trials because of it’s contentment.

Why do people now a days discriminate people by colors, eyes, or basically the physical appearance? Generally people say that Asians are smart, blacks are dirty, whites are rich and powerful (soundvisioncom,2015) . Racism is the belief that one race of people are greater than another because of the race they are born into. In other words Racists people judge other people or discriminate them by their race. Nelson Mandela once said (Smhcomau, 2015) “Racism is a human conscience. The idea that any people can be more powerful than another, to the point where those who consider themselves as powerful and treat the rest as sub-human or low ranked people"

Stereotypes are a streamlined idea of a certain group which can eventually spread prejudice which is a belief on a group of people. The difference is that stereotypes can be formed by experiences whereas prejudices are people taking a stereotype and believing it, but they do not have experience on a certain group. For example, a person may have seen that some Mexicans act rough and messy, but that person could share their experiences with other people who may not know Mexicans well. As a result, other people will take that stereotype and believe it, forming a prejudice inside their mind. If they were to meet a Mexican person, they would just assume that they are all rough and messy, despite having no prior experiences with Mexicans. Discrimination can consist of actions done to a group of people. Discrimination is not the same as Racism as discrimination is the unequal treatment of a person based on their race. Racism is a stronger type of prejudice that is used to claim that one race is superior to other races. An example of Racism is the Ku Klux Klan as their members believe whites are superior to any other race. They do not discriminate by mistreating other races. Instead, they spread hate speech and commit hate crimes to try to show that whites are better than other races.

Prometheus is an important person in Greek mythology because he gives the Greeks some of the valued necessities of life. He did many things in his life, according to the Greeks; he gave them fire after Zeus had taken it away from humans. Prometheus was commonly known as a clever trickster for the tricks he played on others. Overall he was a great hero that gave humans a couple of the very important things needed in life. His story is full of adventure and he shows a lot of courage. He also helps show what was important to the Greeks and what was valued like fire and intelligence.

The perceptual process can result in errors in judgment or understanding. The source of errors in the perception needs to be identified to understand the differences. The most common types of perceptional errors are perceptual defense, stereotyping, halo effect, projection and impression management.

Did you know that the brain is broken up into different sections? It is composed of three different parts: the cerebrum, cerebellum, and the brainstem. The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain and it composed of a right and left hemisphere. It controls higher functions such as interpreting touch, vision and hearing. However, did you know that the cerebrum also controls speech, reasoning, emotions, learning, and fine control of movement. The funny thing is that every person is different, and that we are learn new stuff everyday.

If you know anyone who is a different skin color than you, then you must know the struggles they go through with people looking at them wrong, saying the rudest things as an insult, even though they never did anything wrong. “Americans consider blacks more likely to be racist than whites and Hispanics in this country.” (Rasmussen). People of this nation need to realize that 1. People aren’t all created the same, some are poor, some are rich, some are Christian, some are Islamic. 2. We will never achieve the country we want, one that never goes to war, one that everyone is the same, one that is trustworthy, willing, and brave. These things will never happen since we are so wrapped up in the way we are now and wish that people we are around or heard of would just change their ways to the ones that they have when really those are the ones that need to change. Those are the ones that hold this country back from its full potential.

People believe that there are many forms of misunderstanding, getting things mixed up, and just straight confusion.They see it as they push the issue of racism in the past to the side, and they feel offended by it.Their argument is that all people could act suspicious and not only young men of color. People think that their race is superior than others, when people talk about the system they mostly talking about the police.

Racism, prejudice, and stereotyping are major issues in America. Racism is defined as “a set of beliefs that one’s own racial group is superior to other groups (Benokraitis, 2014, p. 185). The existence of racism comes hand to hand with hate groups. Hate groups are an organized group of individuals who demonstrates hatred against people of race, ethnicity, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation or any other designated sector of society. One particular hate group that I would like to explore is “World Church of the Creator”. “World Church of the Creator” is a white supremacist group that considers itself a religion found on the proposition that the white race is “nature’s highest creation ("ADL- World Church of the Creator", 2001).

The first video was based on an experiment with taxi drivers who were paid actors that made conversation with their customers about different races, ethnicities, and even homophobia(ABC Prime, 2008). They conducted this experiment in Las Vegas, Savannah, and New Jersey to see if they would get different reactions from different people. The first person in the experiment was a Puerto Rican woman on her way to work in New Jersey. She was quick to debunk the notion that all Arabs are terrorists and even said that she is far from prejudice(ABC Prime, 2008). However when her driver started to talk about Asians she piped in and said, “They can’t see right or left”(ABC Prime, 2008). As the experiment continued there were people who either sided with their driver or challenged them. One person in particular was an African American women who stood up to her taxi driver and told him that America is a place where people can think different things and that is why America is the way it is but also that America was not built on intolerance or hypocrisy and that is why America is great(ABC Prime, 2008).

“No one is born hating a person because of the color of their skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate and if they can learn to hate then they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite” a quote stated by Nelson Mandela. Racism is one of the major issues in today’s world. It is obvious that racism is not as bad as it was many years ago, but it sure has not gone away. A great number of people are unaware of how much racism still exists in our schools, works, and elsewhere. It is about time that people need to start putting an end to it and thinking about reconciling. They believe that it depends on if a person was brought into the world as a racist, but that is not always

We need to help students cherish and preserve the ethnic and cultural diversity that strengthens our community. Through Culture Club, we promoted an environment in which students from diverse backgrounds would feel more comfortable expressing themselves, despite living in a world where racial and ethnic stereotypes greatly influence the media. Each meeting we assigned a student to bring a recipe from his or culture to share with the other members. While making food, we were able to share our cultures, and simultaneously experience other people’s culture as

The one obvious negative effect of the perceptions that we know little about paves the way for stereotypes , ethnocentrism and Prejudice . Stereotypes are the oversimplified ideas about a group of people , Ethnocentrism is the evaluation of other cultures according to preconceptions originating in the standards and customs of one's own culture , Prejudice is thoughts and feelings about those discriminated groups . Because all obvious things that we hear about include stigmas like “ All Asians are smart , and all blacks are criminals “ . It is sad that all of these invalidated myths have become common currently because they are seen as the self-evident and the obvious .
