ignorance, poor education, instilled with that from parents, fear of someone who is different, fear of things they don't understand, fear of change, hostility towards people who they perceive are doing better than them, irrational fear of people they believe are trying to take their jobs or worsen their life situation in some way. i could list another dozen. and everybody is a keyboard warrior on social media saying things anonymously they'd never have the guts to say to someone's face.often times, it's a combination but irrational fear and insecurity is usually present. one of the best jokes i've heard that exposes the hypocrisy of racism, fear of immgrants, foreigners etc. is:"if you think immigrants are all criminals, rapists and killers and you think immigrants are all coming to take your jobs, what the hell do you do for a living?" i am far more concerned with people soft on crime yet want to make criminals out of legal gun owners. i am more concerned about people who think any loser should be allowed in america. if anyone has hid out for so many years they should be allowed to stayand if they breed a litter of kids on our tax dollars they should stay. depends on what you consider to be a productive conversation. but i see no such thing unless there are clear results.another case like this is yet more bait for the media to relish and exacerbate, and yet more opportunities for the cynics to come out saying it's about race or that nothing will ever change.it doesn't seem productive with the attitudes we display in our national conversation. all the while, another family suffers to the backdrop of societal indifference or name-blaming.it strikes me that no one brings up the most prevailing theme amongst all of these cases: fear, and the permeating insecurity that's deeply rooted in the american psyche.all i see is the continued pattern of fear rearing its ugly face in case after case, be it inadequate training, racial & cultural differences, vendettas, or the proliferation of gun ownership.and here, a foreigner gets caught in the middle of this american phenomenon. and while the details are incredibly vague, i feel it could very well have been simply this woman innocently knocking in the vehicle to get the officers attention; something likely innocuous back in australia, but certainly something most americans wouldn't dare attempt. and she suffered the ultimate price for it.culture and mentality takes a long time to change. and the more we continue to be equal-but-separate, i can't even imagine a productive conversation, let alone a result.i'm sorry, but no matter how much the cry for justice, or even the delivery of such, that alone will not be enough to alter the course of history and our future. why do you hate other races user deliveries - but requires driving... i know... you don't do that.home appraiser - need a licensed or certified appraiser to sponsor you, but you can do that with little training, make decent $. again.. driving requiredhome inspector. what does these graphs tell us? nothing. just that the proportion of races were mostly maintained. asians might have deserved 100% of the seats and yet, are kept within proportion. they might have deserved no seats and yet kept within the proportion. there is no really useful info there. Generally a private person cannot "file" criminal charges. You can, however, file a police report in order to begin prosecution. If she is making threats of bodily harm, take no chances. Call the police immediately. wow marlboro! yikes! ouch! even though i&#39;ve been working with queer issues for many years i am still struck by what you&#39;ve told us. it is a very sad reflection on our society, where same-sex marriage is legal, that parents can throw gay youth out of their homes. ignorance and prejudice run very deep.<br><br>what are your ages?<br> * however, the quality of the roads is a far cry from the silky smooth expressways that you’ll glide across in singapore. a poor road system combined with a growing middle class who own an increasing amount of vehicles per household can quickly lead to crushing congestion problems. as traffic slows to a crawl, it’s not just the commuters that suffer. hi maddie,the purpose of any manipulation is to convince another person that their previously held beliefs are incorrect. one example of a way to manipulate another person is through the practice of gaslighting. think of it as someone who continually turns down the lights in a room (turning down a gas lamp) but tells another person the light is constant, it's their perception or eyesight that is affected. the purpose of gaslighting is to convince another person that they are losing their sanity. how does this transform societal values? on a large scale, if you can convince a large number of people to change their values then society will inevitably shift in its core beliefs and practices. a positive example of this is the icelandic women's protest in 1975 when every woman in the country went on strike for one day. after this protest, women were given equal wages and equal rights under the law. though this strike was not manipulation but civil rights protest, you can see the impact of change on societal values. think about efforts to take away civil rights for one specific group of people: is the language used as a weapon? is it manipulative? deceptive? how would that impact independence and personal identities? if your civil rights were taken away, say your right to vote because of another person's manipulative argument, would you feel less independent? would you feel as though your voice mattered? would you feel more valued by society or less valued by society?good luck with your homework!jessica
