In the short story “The Stolen Party” by Liliana Heker demonstrates how lack of true friendship is a reason why people should accept others who are different from others .An example of lack of friendship in the story ”The stolen party” is when Luciana's mother set to her “you really, truly earned “.then she also set” she said handing them over. Thank you for all your help, my pet”(pg5).This evidence reveals that all though she help they still treat her like a pet.

This can cause your relationship with others or the relationship with yourself to suffer. People judge unconsciously, but taking a moment to step back and look at the situation's whole purpose may give the person a different perspective on how others feel. Many people experience the same things, learning how to accept the outcomes with a positive attitude will help clear your mind. An article states, “almost every single human being on the face of the Earth shares these three similarities, and while they are all necessary for our evolution, survival and sense of comfort, they can also become a great hindrance to us” (Aletheia).

Classism and its Effects on Society:“The Stolen Party” by Liliana Heker Analysis Society, since the beginning of humankind, has created the idea of social class, differentiating people based on social, political, economical, and financial basis. The contribution of this system in modern day society creates this great gap and repercussions that the lower class has to suffer with. In Liliana Heker’s “The Stolen Party”, it is no different.

A young girl and the daughter of a maid, Rosaura, gets invited (or so she thought) to go to her “friend” Luciana’s party, unaware of why

Case Study 1 – Ligua Here’s my interpretation of Ligua’s current situation, She is the head of her households, a student who needs to work hard to pay for her tuition and feed her kids. She lives in an environment of small-minded people; her neighbors are her social barriers.

Racial profiling can have very extreme effects. The American Psychological Association found that the effects of racial profiling caused post-traumatic stress disorder and other psychological disorders, which can lead to drug abuse, depression, and even suicide.

As a young child, my dream was to become a man of incredible wealth; a man who could not only provide for his family but a man boldly devoted to his job, a man so happy with no boundaries.

Every day people are judged and discriminated on the way they look, color of skin, what their wearing, and were they come from.
