TOWARD SPECIFIC GROUPS

Reducing Prejudice toward Specific Groups
Prejudice can be defined as a phenomenon when a person makes a judgment toward another person or a group of people about their personal characteristics with no reliable experience. This unreasonable judgment may be based belonging to gender, age, race or nationality, political opinion, religion, beliefs, etc. The prejudice can be rendered innocuous by avoiding negative stereotypes and giving a respect to other cultures’ features.

Shakespeare's tragedy Antony and Cleopatra tells the tale of the titular characters, the historical figures Mark Antony and Cleopatra, as they navigate their life and rule of Rome and Egypt, respectively. The play is replete with historical and political intrigue, as the various rules and political figures attempt to wrest power from each other; also, it is a tale of war and the consequences thereof. At the center of it, however, seems to be the love story of Antony and Cleopatra, two leaders of distinctly different nations who find a common bond in each other. The character of Cleopatra, in particular, ...

The documentary film "Chasing Ice" is an award winning documentary about the unprecedented depletion and melting of ice mass and glaciers due to climate change.

In this documentary, the viewers would be appalled by the truth behind ice calving and the melting of the ice, and how fast they melt due to global warming.
As one of the viewers, I was stunned by the documentary, specifically because the documentary showed how quickly the ice are melting. In about a short period of ...

The master craftsman, William Shakespeare, in his Othello and The Winter’s Tale portrays some curious facets of femininity, maybe deliberately or not. Desdemona in Othello is a Venetian beauty with astute and resolute individuality, while Hermione in The Winter’s Tale is mysterious and majestic. When we take the reality aspect, the former is more realistic and true to life, which has implications even in this modern present. The latter is to an extent unreal, and somewhat fantasy. Character is everything in Shakespeare’s plays; the works have no existence apart from the characters. In Shakespeare’s plays, ...

WINTER’S BONE (2010) -REALISM
Realism, as we know, is all about being truthful, and a realist will strive to preserve the point that their film is devoid of manipulations, and mirror the actual world.

The Fate of Greenland's Vikings by Dale Mackenzie Brown.

In 1721, Hans Egede, a Norwegian missionary discovered that the Norse were no longer inhabiting the two settlements that they had established around 1000 A.D. Since then there has been many debates on the cause of their disappearance and decline. For long, the theories about their disappearance centered around the oral traditions of the Inuits. The Inuit tradition held that the demise of the Norse was due to the contact between the Inuit and the Norse which was often aggressive (Seaver 1996, 119). In recent years however, owing to expanding archaeological findings and other limited documentary evidence there have ...

“Poor single mother on welfare tell me how you did it?” rings the famous lyric of the late Rapper-Activist Tupac Amaru Shakur. The son of a former Black Panther, this ode to his mother provides a glimpse into the conundrum of surviving in the wake of being poor and black on public assistance. What Shakur unknowingly reveals is the image of welfare in a more empathetic and realistic way that illuminates instead of ignoring the lived realities of its recipients. While Shakur’s lyric is compassionate in it’s depiction, conservative lawmakers are less considerate in their elucidation of ...
