Michael Jackson Case Study

Being an asian there are many stereotypes that people categorize me before actually getting to know me. It’s been a common thing and at times it does get annoying because your being put in such a general category that might not define you.

Michael was unable to acquire the basic strength of competence because he was scolded by his father and not allowed to have a normal childhood.

However, being able to rely on oneself to solve problems no matter how minor or major will lead to a sense of triumph and true happiness.

The media was all over the case throughout the trial, giving the outside world as much information as possible, allowing the people to form their own opinion; most of which being that Simpson was surely guilty. Other’s were wrapped around Simpson’s finger believing every single word he said. But, if Simpson did do it, what brought him to it ? Was it a previous fight with is ex wife ?
