Us Against Them In wars, in cruelty, and even in sports there is a force that allows humans to fight, to abuse, and to compete. We separate ourselves from our opponents; we dehumanize them in order to justify our actions against them. The examples of this are many, they are driven by fear, and they only hurt those involved. In Matt Ridley’s book The Rational Optimist, he shows that humans prosper when they do not separate themselves from each other. In John Steinbeck’s book, The Grapes of Wrath, he shows the cruelties people are capable of when they do separate themselves from others and District 9, a film directed by Neill Blomkamp, makes clear what can happen when people dehumanize another species.

One, if not the most prominent way that the nuclear arms race stabilised the cold war was the threat of one being launched, both the USA and the USSR were both already threatened by the ideological capabilities of each other, which is why they feared the nuclear arms race would extend to not just trying to achieve the upper hand over their opponent. The fact that both sides were developing their nuclear weaponry and rapidly gaining a vast amount of nuclear bombs meant that it acted as a defence strategy in warning the up and coming countries who thought they would have an opportunity in joining the world superpowers, such as China. The damage that the weapons could cause were enough to not just warn each superpower of the sheer control that the other had but it warned the world too. An example of how the
If the creations are indeed “more human, than human” what defines our humanity? The replicants are portrayed as the violent antagonist only once compared to the humans (Tyrell) do they become admirable. While the death of Tyrell confronts the audience the close up on Roy's face shows the agony he is in. He doesn’t enjoy the killing but believes that his father must pay for his sins, pay for all the pain he has cause to him and his friends. Such violence is really only the cause of Roy’s pain, his emotions controlling his actions conflicts with our prejudice.

All the humans in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein are quick to form judgments about each other. Particularly, prejudice against physical ugliness becomes evident as society continually alienates the creature out of disgust for his appearance. Society’s response to the creature’s deformed figure proves that prejudice inevitably serves as a roadblock in using reasoning and rationality to develop opinions based on one’s actions rather than one’s looks. The creature originally tries to rely on the power of communication and language to compensate for his deformed appearance; however, this turns out to be an unsustainable method. ¬¬The first time the creature encounters spoken words, he immerses himself in the vernacular language, intending to use
It affects the economy of each country that is involved and it can causes long-term affects on the soldiers involved in the actual fighting. First of all, of cause I am like most people against war!

Othello is afflicted with a jealous tendency and inability to understand others and their motives. Together these two characteristics make him particularly weak compared to people like Iago who is very good at reading others, and especially good in knowing how to work Othello. In Scene 5 Iago, who also isolates Othello, increases the jealousy and then manipulates Othello into thinking that he is making it up, Iago says “beware my lord of the green eyed monster”. The first major influence we see that influences and foreshadows Othello’s down fall/death is the fact that he is too
