The overall opinion of Crash was that racism will never change, and that there is no way to stop it. It also showed how all cultures is prejudice to each other, in more ways than one. In some ways this is an agreeable statement but for the most part is false. This is because racism can be stopped there just has to be many people dedicated to stopping it and would have to take a significant amount of steps to stop it.
Vincent grew up to be a great man, who was unfairly targeted and beaten to death. His legacy will always live on as a scar reflecting the awful and ignorant opinions of some former Americans. It is also represents the courage that inspired many Asian-Americans to fight back for their civil liberties. “We must let the world know that we think this is wrong. We can't stop now without even trying.” (Zia, pp.
And this bad thing leads him to death finally. Willa Cather shows that the wrong way causes a bad ending. Her idea is important to all people, because many people try to get their future in many different ways, but they only pursuing their desire, not think about the consequences. Through this story, I learned that there is no simple way, only the effort is best way to accomplish my
This relates back to the experiment, because the participants obeyed even though they knew it was not right to shock the learners, and King probably would have encouraged the participants to stop. Moreover, King strongly disagrees that the government should have the authority to guide people when there are many wrongdoings in the governmental system. His ideal social relations are far from dependent on obedience because he believes everyone to be equal. Also, he knows that total obedience often lead to tragedies like the segregation and racism that African-American are suffering from. Milgram’s conclusion really advocates King’s belief, because the surprising conclusion of obedience to authority is what King does not believe to be the way of social relations.
I know that my friend who claims to want to “stop the boats” would not have lasted a minute in their shoes. That’s the real effect of the fear that the Coalition is spreading; they numb us to our feelings of compassion and empathy. To think that thousands of innocent humans would have died if we were to have “stopped the boats” is horrific. It is the least that we can do to help those less fortunate. That we enjoy living in such a stable and prosperous society is something we can all take pride in; let’s take pride in accepting the boats and extending the same protections to those who seek our assistance in a time of
The central flaw is that Singer uses a bad analogy of how the global economy actually is, it assumes that the child has somehow appeared there of his own devices and that a simple act will save him. Many of Singer’s key principals, such as the importance of impartiality and the irrelevance of distance are very strong and I find it hard to disagree with them. Whilst I do not agree that to adopt Singer’s solution will cause actual harm to me it is not convincing as the most effective way to solve the problems of poverty. To follow Singer’s principal will amount to everyone else jumping in the water and drowning to some small degree. I believe that while Singer develops his argument by claiming that while people in rich states can survive without luxuries; those in poorer ones where most are manufactured could not survive, as their economic base would fall apart.
‘It is difficult to remain a bystander in any conflict’ Conflict has an extraordinary capacity to draw human beings towards one side or another, even when they are unwilling to be drawn. Of its very nature it divides the world into simple categories: those who are ‘with us’ and those who are ‘against us’. Even when we know that the world is not so black and white, the heat of conflict can make some of the various shades of grey seem irrelevant or even self-indulgent. Even when people make a commitment to remain aloof from conflict, it has an insidious way of drawing them in. Thus a person can initially adopt a neutral stance, but soon become mired in the conflict and unable to withdraw.
Quote 3: People who are always mad, sad, or disappointed, are always the ones who are not going to help others prosper. “Those who are happiest are those who do the most for others.” The Author wanted readers to hear him not literally hear him, but to hear him in his context. I heard him saying that doing for others makes you feel better of yourself and who you are as a person. Helping people is what life is for so that’s what he wants readers to
If there was no hate it would be a “Perfect World” as some people say, but unfortunately there will always be hate in the World. But if we just stand around and do nothing but watch it will just get worse. If we act like the people 72 years ago during the Holocaust, it will get worse and go from words to actions. There will be teasing, fighting, hurting, and in one word
I wanted to show that even though they tried to help they feel like they failed trying to help. The deaths of the innocent will continue, because no one is truly listening to what people are saying, and the sad part is that most people know what happens, however fear is what holds people back from justice. Fear is what keeps people from helping their peers, from helping themselves. The government cover up doesn’t help the people but instead ends up harming people, when they ask for the help. I wanted to portray the fact that people end up getting hurt if they try to
