Variation of stereotype can cause many controversies like discrimination, racism and etc. Thus, nowaday, the requisition of human rights gains more attention and awareness. Words or acts which involved to the race is a very sensitive topic. Many international events support anti-racism behavior and take it very serious such as Olympic games. Although avoiding discriminate acts is a common public manner that majority does, there are minor offensive still occur in many society like in college or university campuses.

“For millennia, philosophers have understood that we don’t see life as it is; we see a version distorted by our hopes and fears.” this introduction consider as logo because it seems like historical anecdotes which credible although it’s not strong enough but can make the audience get the idea of this section. Authors describe the cognitive behavioral therapy to show that we can utilize this practice to solve the problem. However, they put some pathos at the end of this section. For instance “But does campus life today foster critical thinking -- or does it coax students to think in more distorted ways?”, this sentence give the feeling of hopeless when there is a solution to the problem but no one use it. The following sections, authors continue presenting the effects from emotional well-being campaign which are “Higher Ed. and Emotional Reasoning” and “Mental Filtering”. These sections caught between pathos and ethos because it seems credible but it also contains emotional effect. Authors indicate that emotional reasoning can cause numerous conflicts and will affect social life and mental health, as well as mental filter can cause cognitive distortion. However these section would be more credible if they put some logos in
The thesis of this book is that slavery, racism and discrimination should be set aside and tough penalties laid for those who practice it. This can reduce it by a great percentage and each generations.
In the argument that college is not for everyone, Reeves establishes his ethos through both extrinsic and intrinsic support while maintaining clarity using the logos approach. Pathos, however, lacked the same amount of control. By using an excess amount of pathos while approaching rhetoric with a condescending tone, the author diminished the persuasiveness achieved by combining the techniques. This resulted in a limited audience due to the insulting nature of the closing remarks geared to the very audience he was trying to reach.
Humans are fearful of what they find different. Various ethnic and religious groups have oftentimes faced prejudice because people succumbed to their fears of the unknown, and in an effort to contain these abnormalities. oppressors have resorted to active discrimination of certain groups. The recent movement for the institution of politically correct terminology as a means by which to restore humanity to the oppressed has spurred countless debates about the effectiveness of such an approach. Nevertheless, politically correct language can only ameliorate the state of society to a certain extent, as proven by several scholarly works written on the subject of what politically correct language can actually achieve.
Since the Renaissance of the 15th century, societal views have evolved drastically. One of the largest changes has been the realization of individualism, along with the recognition of inalienable human rights.(UDHR, A.1) This means that all humans are equal, free, and capable of thought; as such, the rights of one individual cannot infringe on another’s at risk of de-humanizing the infringed upon. The fact that humans have a set of natural rights is not contested in society today; the idea of human rights is a societal construction based on normative ethical codes. Human rights are defined from the hegemonic standpoint, using normative ethical values and their application to the interactions of individuals with each other and state bodies. Human rights laws are legislature put in place by the governing body to regulate these interactions.
The authors Houston et al. have carefully selected a descriptive title, with the words “Equality Hypocrisy, Inconsistency and Prejudice” clearly identifying the main topics which dominate the discourse and “The Unequal Application of the Universal Human Right to Equality” communicates to the reader what the issue is that will be investigated. This title contains many key words which serve to ensure that the article is not overlooked in searches and most of these key words are commonly recognised, powerfully emotive words which speak well for the articles content and may also gain attention from readers outside of the psychology discipline. The term “Human rights” generally refers to a universally recognised set of rights which belongs to every human being. This articles arrangement follows the IMRD (introduction, method, results, discussion) format common to academic journals and early in the introduction there is an extract from Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act toward one another in a spirit of brotherhood” (p.29). This extract is well chosen as it serves to define the term human rights, and because it is taken from such a universally significant document it is able to maintain reader
Ideas of what it means to be human, and who can be classified as human has changed through history. People who fall outside the norms have faced various forms of discrimination, from racism that unjustly see people of certain ethnicities as subhuman on all levels, and mental and physical disabilities that lower a person’s capability compared with the average human be the recipients of scorn and ridicule. These differences do not push anyone outside the human category, nor does it lessen their intrinsic human value. Even people who commit atrocious acts of violence and depravity are human. Being human is a spectrum with norms and extremes that yet all fall under the category of being human. In the future,
In which the authors believe that this opposes the Socratic Method; a way of questioning the students’ “unexamined beliefs” and as well as accepting those different insights around them. The authors have also stated that the campus which is devoted in “policing speech” and “punishing the speakers” will produce patterns of thoughts that are similar to those who have suffered depression and anxiety in a long
Martin Luther King Jr. once said. “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” After all of the history the world has with slavery, and racism, all that we’ve gone through, and have come from it’s about time that we put our differences aside, and accept each other for what we are, and aren’t. "Racism is based on the belief that physical characteristics account for differences in character and ability, and that a particular race is superior to another." Racism has been going on since before anyone can remember whether it was owning a slave, killing another person just because of the color of his or her skin complexion, or making a racial joke about a classmate. Nobody is exactly identical to any other person. With that fact being stated, there is nothing to prove that one race can be superior to another. These facts being known, scientist have stopped studying racial differences all together, with the understanding that no person even of the same race is the same. Although these facts have been proved scientifically, racism still seems to be rising. In addition to these facts this paper will tell the history of racism, racial discrimination, and racial profiling.
Discursive Essay on Racism Racism has existed for centuries, but during the last two hundred years hatred toward ethnic minorities or even majorities has fluctuated. Racism occurs all over the world, can happen to anyone and will always exist. There are three different forms of racism, open racism, violent racism and secret racism all express forms of hatred towards ethnic groups. These forms of racism, although different, all have the same main purpose, to promote hate towards ethnic groups. Open racism expresses freedom of racial thought and speech.
Today race relations are a huge topic and issue in our country. With social media comes faster ways to spread videos or information showing poor race relations such as racism and discrimination. This issue has led to not only violence but also deaths in our country. Even though we all can see the problems it causes for everyone, discrimination continues to grow stronger and stronger. In “Train to Rhodesia” and “The prisoner who wore glasses” poor race relations are shown between white and blacks, the most common example of poor race relations. Stereotypes, Assumptions, and a feeling of being superior to another race are the root of not only the problems in these two stories, but also in the world today, especially here in the U.S. between white
Racial discrimination is one of the old issues that occur all over the world. According to Article 1, International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD)
This essay has argued throughout that human rights are not universal. The first paragraph in this essay focused on the extent to which the idea and norms of universal human rights has flourished. It then critiqued human rights from a cultural perspective arguing that human rights are not universal due to their being conflict between the rights of the individuals and the rights of groups. This essay finally argued that the lack of adherence to these so called universal human rights have dealt a huge blow to the notion of their being universal human rights.
Well-being is a combination of physical, mental, emotional and social factors. It is seen, as a stable state of being satisfied with one’s self and their life that doesn’t fluctuate due to a single even, person, or feeling (Begley and Begun, 2000). Well-being consists of eight dimensions, emotional, environmental, financial, intellectual, occupational, physical, social and spiritual (Begley and Begun, 2000). For the purpose of this study we are going to be looking at the emotional and occupational sides of well-being. Emotional state of well being is the ability to recognize, understand and express a full range of emotions and channel our emotions into healthy behaviours that satisfy our personal and social goals (Ryff, 1985). Occupational is achieving personal satisfaction and enrichment in one’s life through work, education, and personal goals and passions (Ryff, 1985).
North America is, and always has been, an ethnically diverse society. Yet this cultural diversity along religious, ethnic and national lines had been tolerated only in a limited degree, end even only on the dominant Anglo-Saxon elite?s terms.? (Eisen and Wiggins, 1994, p. xii). History books repeatedly show this in their pages. A person can not pick up a history book and read through the pages with out finding something on how a particular athlete or group of athletes were persecuted because of their race. Part of the American dream that is taught to our youth of is freedom, equality and the ability to move ahead in life if a person is motivated to do so. It is unfortunate that this isn?t the case; that is unless the person fits into the right sociological group.
They are better able to cope with life’s challenges, build and sustain stronger relationships and to recover from setbacks that can happen to anyone of us. However, just as it requires energy and a commitment to build or to maintain physical health, so is it with mental and emotional wellbeing. Improving a person’s emotional health can lead to a number of benefits that are related to all aspects of life: it can enhance the person’s mood, foster resilience and improve an individual’s overall enjoyment of
