Unfair Judgment
Shermer has pointed out an example that is still very controversial today when he referenced the 1992 movie A Few Good Men. The men and women fighting a war to protect our country and keep us free get criticized and ridiculed for the way they get it done. Not many of the people who try to talk down on them realize that the very thing they are fighting against is what allows them to speak so freely against military action. War has been seen as something evil in the eyes of many and for the most part they are not wrong, but they do not always take out their frustrations with the right people. Most times they do not realize that they did not seem to understand the sacrifices many of the men and women who participated in the wars were forced into creating. A guilty conscious can cause people to say and do irrational things and put the blame on the undeserving. Many people in the past had demonstrated an objection to war and all that it stood for.

I do realize that that some places do not have the same freedom as we have and that they may have a different view on their military personal, but unlike the United States they may not be free to express the discomfort or even anger they have towards them. Countries that go to war against their own government are the ones who truly need the help of as many different countries they can get. Being against a public leader in their culture is taboo while here it is treated as a right, as it should be everywhere, but it is a fight that will help them eventually reach their goals of fair and equal treatment throughout the entire nation. If a place is in need of help we should not ignore the problem because that same problem can one day become a threat to us and the battles that so many people attempted to exterminate will become battles of our

    How is judgement prevalent in society? Physicist Albert Einstein once said, “Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen”. He means that you didn’t just randomly become so judgmental one day. You acquired all of the common sense that you have now based on where you grew up, and the influences that were around you. You were taught to automatically judge people and assume things based on appearance, skin color, and rumors.

    450 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, one of the most significant themes is unjust decisions are made due to race and social class. For example, a group of men showed up in dusty cars at the Maycomb County jail, where Atticus was late at night. Outside the jail, “in ones and twos, men got out of the cars. Shadows became substance as lights revealed solid shapes moving toward the jail door” (Lee 80). One man asked “he's in there, Mr. Finch?” referring to Tom Robinson (Lee 80).

    “When you judge another, you do not define them, you define yourself” – Wayne Dyer Judging others is a natural human trait that everyone has.

  • How To Judge People In To Kill A Mockingbird

    After childhood, people come to realise that the world is a cruel place. People misjudge others; thus, over time, people grow to accept the amount of brutality in the world. Parents often tell their children that first impressions count, mainly because others are quick to judge. In To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, and The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-time Indian by Sherman Alexie, first impressions of people are never correct, as we judge people after mere seconds, and we are often incorrect in our assumptions of people.

  • Propaganda In World War One

    722 Words  | 3 Pages

    The soldiers were merely following what the leaders of their countries wanted, because if the decision to go to war had been left up to the soldiers without the influence of propaganda, they would avoid these conflicts. This shows that the people do not truly go to war, it is their leaders that go to war. World peace is possible if leaders avoid making the impulsive decision to attack other countries. With independent sources of media and the advent of democracy, it is now more difficult of leaders to motivate their people to go to war and it is less likely that poor leaders are chosen to command a country. It is not unfeasible for every person to fight his or her flaws to become a happier, wiser person who would not fight with others.

    Based on the readings of this week, there were many changes in attitudes before and after of each world war. In the beginning of World War I, people happily entered the first world war.
