Ideas of not belonging or not wanting to belong is demonstrated as Zero is excluded from the class, an outsider who has no say. As visual presentation exhibits that he is a black ball of wool, in comparison to the rest of the characters which are cream colored. Color is the main influenza in this scene as the disconnection is brought indifference of Zero’s color. Zero is feeling the sense of insecurity, feeling threatened and unsafe from the dangers of being misunderstood. Each character is designated with a number and Zero, being with the number Zero clearly displays his distinction across the rest of the society.
Paul despises his common life so much that he feels he must hid it from his peers through lies. He tells them false information of his ‘upper class’ life, such as announcing his travels to far off places, to make them believe he is above the average middle class person.

Amanda Adkison History 1301 Spring 2012 Dr. Barr European and Native American are two very different groups of people. The differences are very noticeable. In the novel “Black Robe,” Brian Moore demonstrates the difficulties that come when you take a person out of their own way of life and are forced to learn the ways of other groups.

In a community so deprived from any but its own prejudices, those who don't fit in, those who think or act in a way which is considered to be different or out of line, suffer the pain of isolation as a consequence. In Maycomb there is no acceptance for those who do not conform. Harper Lee outlines the social status using characterisation. Scout's fresh and pure mind regards Bob Ewell as filthy
During this particular time blacks in America had no rights. Society viewed them as niggers. Because of this prejudice many of them, like Crooks "retired into the terrible protective self-respect of the negro". Lennie is a victim of social prejudice in the fact that, being retarded, he couldn’t socially interact without the natural ease of George. Women also had very few rights, like Curley’s wife had to be dependent on Curley’s dad and him for shelter.
Due to this, the black community is prejudiced against and does not ever get the chance to rise in society. As a result, many important cases, such as the one relating to Tom Robinson and Mayella Ewell, are not anymore about right versus wrong, but more towards black versus white. Due to this and the highly prejudiced society of Maycomb, Tom Robinson and his lawyer "Atticus Finch won't win, [they] can't win."

These are associated with poverty and inequality in the Indigenous Australian population. Further noting 'human rights principles and social determinants of health are fundamentally connected'.
