Which means more money can be spent on players. Sure ticket prices and memorabilia will skyrocket, but people come to see their favorite players. A non-caring position is sometimes taken, such as, “it’s the owners money;let them shovel it out if they want.” Dominant teams sell tickets. How often did a Boston Celtics game get sold out last year? By mid-season the fans were booing their own home team.
The U.F.C. empowers American youth to take violence to another level because their idols are influencing them to believe it is acceptable to engage in this type of unmonitored, uncontrolled fighting. Dana White founder of the U.F.C. was inspired to recreate a new sport that would take the place of boxing. This sport incorporates more action, blood, and millions of fans that pay large sums of money to be entertained by all the violence.
The quote explains that life brings evil to the world of many others who don’t appreciate their life. The symbolism that the author developed in the novel was onions. The onion is a metaphor for racism, lack of opportunity, and the violent street cultures, which combine to keep young men like Eddie in a world of despair. Racism that many people face because the ignorant people who feel they can take over to those who don’t have the power of money.” Lack of opportunity of education that Eddie is going through for his brown skin keeps him from getting a steady of meaningful job outside the ghetto”.

It also had its negative effects on Atticus, when he was called degrading names like ‘nigger lover’ and being treated badly by the townspeople for defending Tom. His children were also persecuted because of his courageous act. Boo Radley was another man in the town who suffered severely due to the demeanour of others who had superstitions and judgements made up about him causing children to harass him just because he didn't want to leave his house and lastly Dolphus Raymond who suffered emotionally just because he lived with a black and had mixed children. The racial and prejudice attitudes of the townspeople in Maycomb is the driving force behind nearly all the negative events that happen in the story which caused emotional and physical pain to many
While black people struggle, the media constantly portrays them as animalistic brutes. In turn, it reinforces the stereotype in the minds of white people, which in turn feeds their fear and contempt of black people, particularly black men. Fear is a powerful motivator and white people justify segregation as the only way to protect white society from the “animalistic brutes.” Bigger is well aware of the instant judgments white people make when they see a black man. For example, when Bigger goes to the Dalton’s house, he thinks, “Suppose a police officer saw him wandering in a white neighborhood like this? It would be thought that he was trying to rob or rape somebody,” (44).
Many of the incidents have made Ford's reputation as Toronto's mayor very critical. From rude comments and racial slurs to violent attacks, Ford's reputation has gone down hill, not only as a mayor, but as an individual as well. There is a plethora of interviews that Ford has been in that show him being very rash and rude towards the interviewer. For example, while being interviewed by Toronto Star City Hall reporter, Daniel Dale, Ford bluntly accused Dale of being a pedophile because he took pictures of Ford's house for his latest column (Tucker). Despite the fact that Ford did publicly apologize to Dale, this issue still has a negative reflect on Ford's reputation due to the fact that Dale is a public and national reporter and Ford stated this accusation during an interview for a widespread column.

History Assessment Source A is a very descriptive account from Elizabeth Eckford herself about her thoughts of the event. It portrays the pure hatred for the blacks from the whites due to the negative choice of vocabulary however, as Elizabeth Eckford is coloured and therefore on the ‘black side’ it seems to be a little over-exaggerated maybe as an attempt to gain more publicity from the media. Not only does Elizabeth refer to the word “mob” during the text meaning a large disorderly crowd but she mentions the harsh insults said to her. Again, talking about the insults could be to create sympathy helping increase the idea that whites were savages and needed to be sorted rather than the blacks. On the other hand, Elizabeth seems to be genuinely scared and helpless.
In addition, Agent Ward from “Mississippi Burning” stated: “Mr. Anderson, if you were a negro nobody would give a damn what you thought.” This shows that the black community is viewed so unequally by the racist white population, that even their most basic rights, free speech and expression, have been taken away from them. It also states the fact that inequality is a part of everyday black oppression and that the black community isn’t allowed to express their views without violence from the whites or racists. This allows us to see that it is evident that racism shadows people from the
The media’s portrayal of African American’s is both inaccurate and highly degrading. The racism present in today’s media needs to be addressed and dealt with. African Americans suffer from institutional racism, are misrepresented in the news, and their portrayals on television are based on negative stereotypes that do not accurately portray reality.
