To have the self-control and respect to just walk away from someone who just spit on you, is a skill that not many people have. I know from myself that I would never have been able to do that. If I were in Atticus’ place I would probably have spit Bob in the face. “It’s never an insult to be called what somebody thinks is a bad name. It just shows how immature they are.
The community is acting upon something that is not in the law but that has a more powerful influence than the law. If one were to break this unwritten “law” then that person would be excluded from the social community.

People don’t judge him because of him lying while under the spotlight as much as the fact that he had an affair. People say ones true colors comes out when in challenged or questioned, but Bill Clinton didn’t lie because it was his true colors he lied because it natural instinct to save himself. In sum it is not fair to judge peoples actions when they are stressed because it more their instinct then decision. On the other hand when a person is in a carefree situation they tend to act without thinking of the consequences. For a person this may be the best time to judge one.
Why we do not worry about how to break these racial barriers, instead of thinking about the differences and war? But gladly, not everyone is selfish; there are also people who show interest in change as Atticus…those few are the people who manage to change the world. this novel leaves us the lesson that we should not Judge people by their appearance or their customs, because we are all equal and nobody is lower or higher. If we Judge a person just because it is different without giving an opportunity to defend themselves, we can make a big mistake and end the life of that person ... we have to think a little more in the others and stop being
Harassment, after all, rarely goes on in front of those who would take steps to stop it. Other chiefs may be reluctant to deal with sexual harassment at all, believing that writing policies or providing training will increase the number of harassment complaints.

Virtue ethics, unlike utilitarianism and deontology does not take into consideration a person’s change in moral character. For example, a person who may have committed fraudulent crimes in the past may have the same excuse for writing a bad check as well budgeted person who accidentally wrote the check off the wrong account. Neither meant to intentionally overdraw their account, but the unethical act was still committed. Utilitarianism, individuals are indebted to constantly behave so that most people benefit regardless of the act. The act can be fulfilling an obligation rather than performing a selfless act.
If the youth see how people are against them, then the youth will fail to see the point of trying their best, or they will think it is pointless to try to succeed. It is almost like nothing is going to change the way the rest of the today’s society portrays them. This would only lead to more problems concerning society and the youth. In one way, it would cause more negative assumptions to be made than positives. Adults are thought of having high expectations for their children and the negative assumptions would have a huge impact on the outcome for the kids.
If we would have stick to only one writer or source we would have only learn one side of the presented issue and taking into consideration our naive nature some would most likely believe that the author is right. Those are people who follow others and never question authority and are perfectly content in their comfort zone. Why bother to change things when everything is going well, one might ask. However, some people when they come across ideas that they do not agree with try to fight for their rights and let their voices to be heard.

Some people would rather believe what others tell them to believe because it might be safer to be politically correct. Some people don’t have to worry about figuring it out because it has already been figured out for them.

Such helpfulness was found in her -so much power to do and power to sympathize – that many people refused to interpret the scarlet ‘A’ by its original signification. They said that it meant ‘Able’” (Hawthorne 158). The reason why the “A” changes meanings is because the guilt is displayed on Hester for everyone to see.
