The scarcity of land gave the community an air of competitiveness that it had never seen before. What was once a trusting, although very strict, society very rapidly became one of mistrust and disorder. The sudden transformation of Salem was largely due to the lose legal parameters for accusing others of witchcraft as well as the weakening of Puritan values because of the Half-Way Covenant. In this the
I think the problems are that the norms of the 1950's were wrong and people got too involved in other people’s business. I feel that most people during the 1950’s who discriminated were ignorant as hell and didn’t understand what was really going on. I feel like people who were forced to act a way that was considered to be the right way or thing or grew up in a family that were brought up to hate people of color were the people who had the most problems and secrets that society wouldn’t even accept. During those times, people were so quick to judge someone only to distract people from their personal lives and problems. For example the scene where Frank and Cathy are arguing about her spending time with Raymond and Frank shows Cathy his strong
Another thing that makes assimilation bad is the fact that people use it so much that they don’t see that it could be a danger in the future. Many people lose their history, traditional inhabits, and national culture, national spirit and therefore small nations can disappear. People don’t realize that assimilation not only hurts them but it affects the future generations and nations that could vanish if everyone decides to change their customs. One of the beautiful things of this world is how diverse and different everyone is. If we were to live in a world where everyone was the same it would be boring and dull.
This is a major problem that we need to solve. The Bliss type of homeless should not be incorporated into the statistics we as a nation gather this is because they are not the true homeless people, they are the lazy and unmotivated people of society. They can choose to be houseless if they want to, but they should be excluded from any sort of statistic that we
The attack was a very tragic and hurting time in American history. Everyone understands that people are going to have disagreements or even hate people, but that is no reason to kill many innocent people over a few simple things that those people can’t help nor
So because of this rudeness it makes the Duvich family feel unwanted. So in order to have freedom you must be accepted. Lastly, to be free you must feel accepted. Since the Duvich family is marked as “untouchable” they are unable to do what they wish peacefully. “But the Duvitches were marked people.” (3) This prevented them to do what they wished peacefully because where ever they went they would be harassed by the town folk.
Nowadays people don’t hold themselves liable for their anger and blame someone or something for their own behavior. Enraged outbursts are likely to happen anywhere no place is exempt in this mad world. Hales states in her essay, “Three things responsible for this angry world are: time, technology, and tension.” When we’re running low on patience and all tensed up, we don’t recognize how we treat or talk to people. We have lost our tolerance for inconvenience. It’s a feeling of weakness that sparks our raving madness and being furious for a moment won’t do us any good.
I.M is constantly struggling with that fact that he is being blindsided left and right. His inexperience and lack of worldly knowledge gets the better of him. Ellison uses the character as a symbol of how many people did not understand what was truly happening with racism and the fact that there were many people that were in the same shoes as I.M. Ellison does a great job of showing that innocence and lack of experience will lead many to a fate that they cannot possibly
These labels that are constantly put on us drive me insane. There is so much hidden in our family that non-members do not see. In addition to all of these stereotypes that are put on me and the others in my group, I do not like to show people that it bothers me, but these stereotypes have really given me a negative outlook on these people. The stereotypes that have been put on me have made me put stereotypes back on these other people. I now look at the outsiders as "city slickers" or I call them lazy and tell them that they have no discipline.
As I still continue to read the ignorant article, I come towards the abusive language when you comment and say “there are so many of the bastards”. The way you use the abusive language is very harsh. If you had done your research, you would have found out that homelessness is caused by many didn’t things such as parents, friends or relatives unwilling or unable to continue to accommodate them, relationship breakdown, including domestic violence, unemployment and loss of an assured short hold tenancy. Along with many different reasons, why people are homeless, which you never implied to use. Nevertheless, I have never seen anyone be so harsh by talking about themselves, it will make everything better.
