as Holden would say, “Phony.” They don’t want to become another phony or they just can’t seem to find their purpose in this phony world. Some people don’t want things to change but it does and it’s something they don’t know how to deal with. Change is something that we fear because is out of our control and when things are out of control it worries us. We worry that we will lose who we are and the things we know, we worry we’ll just become another phony in this phony world.

Life is full of the unexpected, be it good or bad, it is part of our development as people. The things we want is often not what our parents want, especially while considering a place to live. In the passage “Trespass” by Julia Alvarez, which portray some of the difficulties of being bullied, the body development and language barrier, which everyone goes through at some point of their life is shown from a young immigrant's experiences. Carla experience all of that and more, but it is the things we experience that helps our development. Being different is always being looked down upon, but, it takes strength and courage for one to accept themselves as they are, flaws and all.

And as time goes by, we tend subconsciously know that we have the excuse of only being human, we tend to neglect exactly how we have gotten ourselves into a situation that has negatively impacted our life with our significant others’. The troubles that are faced require a variety of responsibilities that couples generally need to apply to their problems in order to come out on top of a bad situation. In doing so, it allows us to feel

In a layman’s term, advocacy is the move to make the voice of the marginalised and vulnerable people heard. Everybody have rights and needs that must be met but some group of people, due to their inability or difficulty to voice out their minds, are unable to meet these needs or demand for their rights and entitlements; when it comes to making decisions that pertain to their lives, their voice and feelings are (sometimes) being ignored and they are treated as if they do not exist. Advocacy is the forum through which the rights of the marginalised are campaigned, and through where appropriate quarters are challenged for these group’s exclusion. According to Solomam (1985), it “involves either an individual or group, or their representatives, pressing their case with

It is mankind’s quest to overcome them. The virtuous life is a really complicated one. The person should follow the code of a good person, which is do not harm anyone and make happy everyone. The light side of the human nature makes people work hard and does not have rewards easily or quickly. The dark side of the human nature lends rewards easily and quickly.

During the course of one’s life, one will encounter situations in which one strongly feels a particular way despite a lack of evidence. Often, the strength of such convictions will cause one to act rashly, projecting one’s views onto others due to one’s tumultuous emotional state. More often than not, this rashness results in one making decisions that will harm both oneself and those around one. The rifts that are created as a result of such difficulties lead to tension and differences between individuals for years to come. From such divisions, one must find a way to be forgiven for what one has done, as only then can one obtain peace with others and oneself.

The Joad’s quickly realized that in order to overcome such a misfortune there must be a change in their ways. While experiencing various accounts of adversity, the Joad’s were forced to come face to face with their problem. The Joad’s had a set mind that they were not going to be overcome by the fear that their adversities brought. They were able to pick themselves up and persevere. By the end of their journey, the love and hope of the family had become an indestructible

This action causes some to feel threatened, and later on will create negative emotions and behaviors. During an interview, Bahns stated “People may not think that they’re biased, but prejudice is driving the perception of threat.” By being biased you are not considering the truth about people and their lives. Therefore, you are not inheriting the knowledge about those people. This is another way the lesson that you need to walk in someone’s shoes in order to know someone.

Our first sense will always be fighting to survive, we are destined to challenge ourselves into adversities. The adversities help to form the character, but much more important, it shows if we can step up to the challenges life presents. From the outside, we can never know what we might do in harrowing circumstances, but we can imagine, respect, even honor the complex experiences and desperate choices of those who have walked through that dark

“A person’s disability defines who they are as an individual” (Draper). All too often, people with disabilities are placed in categories or groups due to their physical or mental capabilities. “I often think of what his life would be like if we hadn’t been able to put aside our stereotyped impressions of severe mental retardation—the hopelessness, the life-long dependency for his most basic needs, the inability to even communicate those needs to others” (Rabalais 43). If society does not give individuals a chance to actually show their capabilities, how would one ever know what their true capabilities are? “People tend to feel that a person with impairment is “still one of us” as long as the impairment is perceived to be minor and/or temporary” (Green 204).

If you are not letting your voice be heard, because you are constantly in fear of being attacked, criticized, dehumanized and/or vilified, that is also another way of being niggerized. When you downplay your own belittlement because you’re realities of life are too much to take,

I agree with Trudeau’s ideals of how national relationships should operate. In my view, it’s because some don’t prioritize interaction and being open with each other that our current society is plagued by a discriminative feature: stereotypes. The problem affects both our government and social society. Because of stereotypes, there are certain aspects expected from a person because of their race, beliefs, and/or culture. Stereotypes are widely known and are hard to get rid of since, some choose to be ignorant in learning the various types of people we will come to communicate with; their lack of knowledge would force them to use the information available to them, which are stereotypes.

A true sense of belonging can be found in different circumstances for different people, due to the tortuous and intellectual nature of the concept of belonging. An individual finds their true place in the world and an authentic sense of belonging in various ways due to personal values, needs and desires. Generally, the strongest sense of belonging for an individual is through relationships, and through the vast concept of nature is what fulfils an individuals needs of social interaction and enhance others involved. In contrast, a result in a negative outcome of isolation and disaffection can be determined by the infirm conventional model of this kind of experience/belonging. To avoid these relationships, these individuals may attain the same

“We’re staying at a hotel this week, girls.” As I heard the words sorely coming out of my father, I was hit with the reality of where I lived and the situation the city faced. Six men had been shot countless times across the street from my house. A bloody and holey reminder was left, and up to the residents to clean up. The city was Juarez, Mexico; at some point, the most unsafe city in the world.
