Mentally Handicapped White Man
1,101 wordsThe jokes at the expense of minorities. The handicapped, mentally slow, and any minority have long been the punch line in jokes. This is wrong in all respects. It desecrates the value of a human life and demoralizes the people engaged in the joke. Many variables can account for these degrading jokes which may include fear of change, fear of learning, fear of tolerance, and a fear of accepting responsibility. I have watched from several perspectives the way a joke is presented. Being a Indigenous...

Roller Coaster Second Quatrain
1,143 wordsIn his English sonnet When I Have Fears (pg. 17, Vendler), John Keats attempts to put into words the human emotions felt when dealing with death. I believe that Keats wrote this poem to describe the natural order of emotions he went through while thinking of his own mortality. The tone of the sonnet takes a roller coaster course throughout the poem from one quatrain to the next. With careful examination one can see that Keats used the first quatrain to describe a state of utter confusion, the se...

Sociology Is About Studying People
423 wordsPeter Berger, a contemporary sociologist, warns people that sociology is not for everyone, especially those who have no curiosity about how and why people are the way they are. He believes that people who, in a sense, have lived a sheltered life will find sociology unpleasant and unrewarding. For a sociologist, I am appalled that this would be a view that he concocted. I do believe that sociology is not for everyone, but then again, what is? All people wonder why and how. Its just that some peop...
