The Consequences Of Hate Speech

In this society, many judgements are made about people from different backgrounds. This causes many problems between people of other races. Racism can be shown in multiple ways such as by using overt and covert racism. In the two stories “The Stolen Party” by Liliana Hecker and “So What Are You, Anyway?” by Lawrence Hill, there are many examples of racist stereotypes.

The impact of racism on young people is really important. It can cause one to abandon their dreams and not achieve future goals since he or she is looked down upon and discriminated. Racism also creates a society where people can’t trust and respect one another which can somewhat lead to some outcomes we humans wouldn’t like to see as a society. Victims of racism often become bitter, anxious and angry, which can lead to violence. Pierre Peladeau by saying this comment, is preaching division among the people.

Perception is a key role in how fear is handled. With The Crucible, the fear was handled negatively so the Salem community faced negative results. Innocent people were

& Lamm., 1998, P. 191). Due to furries have different values from the public, usually worsened by media which emphasize repulsive and unorthodox behaviors, the public has negative stereotypes and usually portraits furries as mischief-makers and deviants (Jakob, 2015, P.24), eventually evolving into criticism and finally, discrimination for the public 's pressure to create a "deviance-free"

Due to such beliefs, people are discriminating against each other. So, racism is affecting almost everyone’s lives and changing their ways of seeing this world. Mainly racism generate the hate that can cause the division in between of human beings. It can even give bad thought to the people about not to believe on other people who were from the different race.

During The Big Red Scare, America was over-reacting to an impartially lucid fear and being unable to subjugate the foreign enemy; Americans unraveled. In order to back up their falsified claims that communists were everywhere, any person who was indifferent to the persecution of said fear was branded as a likely suspect of communism. The fear of radicals increased and led to the fear of being thought radical. However, this national panic was somewhat justified by the minute threat of socialist and labor union strikes as well as several public outbreaks of violence. These issues took many forms including that of a perverted persecution of anything that the dominant white Protestants deemed as un-American.

Macbeth and Mary Maloney have other outside forces that contribute to their good and evil inner fight such as, the way they’ve lost their freedom by the guilt they feel and the lost of their sanity. The fight among good and evil goes beyond what we think, we see and know. How can someone be evil for seeking their freedom but are also imprisoned in their own guilt loosing their sanity in the process? There is much more than evil in a person. It goes beyond someone just being labeled evil, we don’t know what was going on at that time that lead them to do what they did.

A stain in one’s name is a serious dishonor. Rumors, as well as wrongful actions, affect how the world sees us and how we see the world. Thus human beings are victims of their own reputation. To avoid this, one tends to use pride as a shield. However, instead of protecting us, pride hurts us even more by impeding us from solving our issues.

But what is stereotyping? According to the dictionary, stereotype is defined as “a simplified and standardised conception or image invested with special meaning and help in common by members of a group.” Moreover, it is considered as a form of prejudice, as people are putting labels about how a person should act or live according to their gender, nationality, religion, personality or appearance. This creates pre judgment, including misconceptions, which can develop further, leading to bigger problems and complications. Society can be broken down into many groups or categories and there are all sorts of categories within stereotyping, which are the tools used to stereotype.

Racism, the act of “…prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race…”, is a major problem today. It gives people fear, doubt, shame, and sometimes guilt. In addition, racism gives people an awful perspective of life and sometimes, if one is looking up to a racist, the racist’s point of view begins to alter the person’s judgement. Racism could also lead to great conflict arising from those who heavily despise that race and maybe even mass killings, which foreshows that racism needs to be stopped and ended completely.

Hatred, as harsh a subject as they come, is a present force in my own little hometown community. Hatred increases and feeds on the fact that others are different from us, and without positive interactions with such people, a perfect breeding ground allows for hatred to thrive. Small town mentality breeds racial and biased opinions which may lead to hateful ideations. Without firsthand experience with others who are different, opinions may be based on preconceived notions and/or items view or heard in the media. We may be unable to accurately judge people simply because they are different from us.

Fahrenheit 451 Theme Analysis Sir Francis Bacon once said, “ipsa scientia potestas est” or “knowledge is power” and we often say this to encourage education amongst others. However, the power and knowledge struggle in Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury is a prevalent theme in the book. For example, books and other forms of entertainment of similar substance are banned and even burned regularly because of this. Also, many people (because they don’t know) are unwilling to learn and even go as deep as to fear them. The public fears knowledge of this capacity because the government makes them afraid, but the government is no different- they also fear an educated public that have opinions and to a large extent, free will.

Racial Profiling of Youth and the Failure of Justice For those who haven’t experienced racial profiling, or know someone that has been a victim of it, the issue may seem nothing more than annoying noise in their ears. However, the reality is that racial profiling has consequences, which results in emotional, physiological, and physical damage. The ones that are the most at risk are the youth of color. Racial profiling is harmful because it creates mistrust in law enforcement, hostile environment in the educational system, and social tension in communities.

The use of racial profiling has caused major issues and has had a huge impact among our nation. This has influenced a lot of hate and killing towards different type of race, religion, etc. groups. Law enforcement has become ineffective due to racial profiling. Statistics have shown some situations of racial profiling.

In the New York Times article “The Harm in Free Speech”, Stanley Fish argues that it would make no difference if Jeremy Waldron’s book, “The Harm in Hate Speech,” was titled “The Harm in Free Speech”. While providing an insightful review of the novel, Fish promotes the ideas depicted in the novel. Fish argues that American society is obsessed with using the First Amendment to say outwardly offensive statements. Fish asserts that “hate speech” is not simply expressing an opinion, but rather a way to belittle members of society a person deems unworthy. Americans hide behind the First Amendment and use it as a justification to spew hate speech.
