Are you prejudice? Yeah, thats exactly what I
thought, until I arrived here at Hampton.
Prejudice is simply the act of pre-judging someone
before you really get to know him or her. You
should never judge a book by its cover. In most
cases your first impression of someone is based
upon appearance, and the first impression is the
one that counts. Since my arrival at Hampton
University, Ive met many different people from not
only the U. S. , but all over the world. Every

country. Harriet Tubman was one of the women who
joined the attack on slavery. She stood out from
most of the other abolitionists. The evidence that
I will present to you shows how she wasnt
satisfied merely to be free or even to give
speeches against slavery. Harriet Tubman was
important to the abolition movement because she
put her ideas to action. Harriet was born a slave
in Bucktown, Maryland 1. From t...

the pure hate that one man can show another. Scout

began to see how cruel the world can be to someone
who is a little different or strange. She saw this
in the prejudice that was shown to Tom Robinson,

Twelve Angry Men Guilty Guilty

Twelve Angry Men is a very interesting play about
an unfortunate young man, who was convicted of
killing his dad. The worst part was, the young man
was only nineteen, and his life was just starting.
The jurors listened to all the evidence, then came
the hard part, making the decision: guilty, or
innocent. Eleven jurors said guilty and only one
said innocent. There was a lot of peer pressure
involved. I decided to write about different peer
pressures three of the jurors used. The three
jurors I p...

Peninsular. Having a population of around three
million (yes, same as the number of cows providing
us with milk in New Zealand, as emphasised in that

Im going to start off by saying that until now I
never actually thought there was a difference in
the way those cartoon characters (the Simpsons)
were approached, depending on their gender (not
that I watched them too often or anything). First

groups, because you cannot compare old people with
children. So the first group will be composed of
Lisa and Bart (the children) and the second one of
Marge and Homer (the parents). Just by taking a

pop culture effecting our lives. But, what is pop

adolescents, adolescents are smarter than
elementary school children, and elementary school
children are smarter than preschoolers. However,
how is one able to comment on intelligence?
Perhaps there is confusion in the definition of
what smart is. The definition of smart is to be
knowledgeable, which would tend to prove the prior
statement true; the old a person is, the more
knowledge they have attained. In...
