Sykes argues how the loss of freedom, heterosexual relationships, isolation and boredom leads inmates needing to engage in violence which is a reaction to the hurt they feel. Deindividuation may also account for a display of aggression. Removing an individual’s own clothes and replacing them with uniform plays a major part in depersonalising them. The removal of this individuality is more likely to dehumanise them. An example is in the Rwandan Genocide in which 800,000 Tutis were killed by Rwandan extremists.
Within the source it is stated how More was often “taunting and mocking” people. This suggests More was cruel towards others and those below him in both rank and society. However, this evidence could be seen as an attack on More by his enemies. This is because the torture acts mentioned in Source N were taken from John Foxe’s Book of Martyrs. This book documented the acts of torture and violence against protestants, and would therefor be highly critical of those in high positions, such as More.
Black Men and Public Space In his essay “Black Men and Public Space,” Brent Staples asserts that black men are being deeply stereotyped as dangerous individual to the society. Because of the historical race that black men have always committed crimes and caused violence, now it look like black men is a sign of evildoer; for example muggers and rapists. Staples develops this claim by describing his own experiences which he has been considered as a dangerous people or a burglar. At the beginning, he uses his “first victim” to set the tone of the article. The “first victim” is a white woman, who is so afraid of him when Staples, a youngish black man, walked behind her that she quickly ran away.
The boys were considered outcasts and were picked on in school.

Heart of Darkness Theme Essay: Race In Joseph Conrad's novella Heart of Darkness, Marlow is shocked to see mans inhumanity to man from how he and his men treat or call the natives. And the mission of “civilizing” and “enlightening” native people because they are to savage for salvation. Also the divide of races of black and white adds to the themes that Conrad uses of light and darkness, good and evil. The use of white as good and black as evil is challenged when we view it through the theme of race. “A lot of people, mostly black and naked, moved about like ants.” Conrad's statement shows that the person (either Marlow or narrator) see the natives as tiny little insects.
These terms appeared frequently and with high intensity, shaping a negative image of Malcolm X in the media. After Malcolm returned from Mecca, he announced that he no longer indicted the entire white race as racists and devils, and yet he was still connected with black supremacy. Other terms that cluster around extremist and appear in relation to Black Muslims and Malcolm X are enemy, confrontation, and bitter. These labels have implications of violence.

Over the course of the experiment the blue eyed students began to exclude and taunt their classmates by calling them names such as “brown eyes”.

One can clearly see that the results of the experiments show the prejudice created when individuals are labeled superior and inferior to others, consequently enforcing
This, and the conflict leading up to their subjugation, created a climate of intense animosity towards the British that Orwell experienced first hand when he described “sneering yellow faces of young men that met me everywhere” and how he felt “hated by large number of people” and that he was “baited whenever it seemed safe to do so” by the Burmese people. These are all examples of how Orwell experienced the Burmese’ purveying and intense hostility towards their oppressors, and Orwell himself as a member of the British regime. The Burmese hated the British, but they also feared and respected their power; specifically the power of their “magical rifle”. Yet, despite that fear and respect, the weight of their sheer numbers and the indelible culture that surrounded the British and their powerful weapons was so profound that it determined the decision that Orwell made; the decision
Here are further examples: The Evangelicalism that Mr Brocklehurst presents to Jane is full of hypocrisy. Mr. Brocklehurst illustrates the dangers that Charlotte Bronte perceived in the nineteenth century Evangelical movement. Brocklehurst is described as a “black pillar” because he is intimidating and describes his physical presence. He lives in a life of luxury and tells Jane he purges his students of pride where he really humiliates and subjects them to various privations. What he does is completely un-Christian like and he hurts the students at Lowood emotionally.
