  • Discrimination In Disney Pixar's Day And Night

    941 Words  | 2 Pages

    Discrimination is too common in the current day and age. It is used to help ignorant, weak people with insecurities to feel better about themselves. Humanity as a whole needs to learn to be more accepting of others, differences and all. Disney Pixar’s “Day and Night” is a short film about two characters, Day and Night, who couldn't look past each other’s differences in the beginning, yet by the end, they developed a mutual appreciation of each other through getting over their fear of the unknown and discriminating others. In “Day and Night,” the characters’ lack of understanding and prejudice paradoxically assists the characters, Day and Night, in developing tolerance for each other and learning to embrace their differences. Ultimately, “Day and Night” proposes that even though the unknown is not well-perceived by others until they experience the said "unknown" themselves, humanity should be less judgmental and more open-minded because nobody is perfect and everyone is different and perfectly unique in their own way.

  • Are We a Product of Nature or Nurture?

    1119 Words  | 3 Pages

    Someone can physically look like their parents, siblings or even ancestors from the third generation. When a baby is born, it is common to learn in a natural way. No one teaches a baby how to crawl or how to react when he and she is hungry. However, talents, qualities and personalities are developed through experiences. The environment in which people grew up can have a lasting effect or influence on the way they talk, behave and respond to things around. According to Steven Pinker, Behavioral genetics has shown that temperament emerges early in life and remains fairly constant throughout the life span, that much of the variation among people within a culture comes from differences in genes, and that in some cases particular genes can be tied to aspects of cognition, language, and personality (2). Researchers believe that the origin of behaviors occur in genes in the DNA or even animal instincts which this concept is known as nature of human behavior. Other researchers believe that people are they were they are because they are taught to do so. This concept is well known as nurture in human behavior. In society, there will always be the doubt between Do we born in this way or do we behave according to life experiences? I strongly believe that nurture plays an important role in the upbringing of a child and the decisions that one makes in the future. Firstly, humans learn from their environment and other’s behaviors. Secondly, culture is a huge remark in people’s life. Finally,

  • Genetics & Human Behavior

    1360 Words  | 3 Pages

    The world of Genetics is one that is both fascinating and interesting. When tackling how genetics plays a role in behavior, one must look within the scope of what genetics is before dealing with how it plays a significant role in one’s behavior. Simply put, genetics is the study of genes. It is a biological component within the entire study of biology itself. Scientists who study genetics and perform research do so with the intent to learn more about how genetics affects the overall attitudes, behaviors and dispositions of individuals. It could be said that genetics is somewhat of a psychological-biological science as researchers look at the underlying patterns within the genes that cause certain patterns to emerge within the particular group or individual.

  • Reflective Essay On Racism

    Being bullied. Reflecting on when I was in grades k-12, I realized that I had a unique experience. I grew up in an area that had an over 80 percent Hispanic population; I was essentially a minority. Not being able to speak Spanish and clearly having a different cultural background and skin color, I was subjected to bullying. I often resented my last name, Clifford, because I acquired the childhood nickname, “Clifford the big, white dog”. Many kids who thought they were being clever, but were actually being hurtful, referred to me by this phrase. However, while I felt oppressed as one of the few white people in my school and therefore being bullied because of it, I gained a first-hand experience of how it feels to be perceived and treated like an “other”, and this made an impact on my life (Tatum, 2008, p.17).

  • Should We Be Judged By The Way We Live

    “We, as human beings,must be willing to accept people who are different from ourselves.” Barbara Jordan. People shouldn’t be judged by the way they are or the way they act. In this essay I will analyze that just because people are different from you doesn’t you treat them different. Everyone has their own personality that’s what makes everyone unique because we’re all different. Like in the story “Texas v. Majority Opinion” people fought to keep the American flag but others wanted the flag burned. People have the right to speak their minds and fight for what they believe in to protect the things they cherish most. Like in the short story by Etgar Keret “What of This Goldfish Would You Wish?” some people like things that other people don’t and some people like to stay away from other people because they don’t want to be around all the drama or to get judged by other people.

According to Jay Foster, author of The Social Nature of Bullying, “Both genders may be bullies, but their techniques vary. Girls tend to be more verbally abusive, while boys more often use physical intimidation.” Classmates will often bully one another often because of their height, weight, disability, sexual orientation, or even clothing.
