Hate is the one thing that can make a person lose their life. It gives way for a hindrance of forgiveness. It is only when you understand your enemy’s to the point of defeat that you can love them in ways God can only…
One person can make a difference in the world, whether that difference has a positive or negative impact on the lives of others is up to that one person. That is why I believe that a society based purely on hate could survive. It might not be able to survive for long, but at least for some time. How the society will be based on hate, I do not know, but the fact of the matter is that a society can be based on hate.…
the world is turning into a different world and it needs to be changed. Just by complimenting people, being kind, and having a good mind set could even help. To not be hateful of others differences, and embrace them. that is what we…
Hate is everywhere. It always has been, from the beginning of time. When the cavemen started forming intense dislikes for one another over the last coconut to present day, when suicide bombers take their own and the lives of innocent people to express their hate. And somewhere in between those two occurrences, are hundreds and thousands of additional incidents that sprung from hate toward a concept, system or person. Prejudice, racism segregation, war, murder, genocide; they all develop from a person’s mind: their thoughts and feelings. One of the most commonly known acts of hate is genocide, the Holocaust, to be specific. The Holocaust was an…
People are entitled to one of the rights listed in the first amendment, the freedom of speech. It’s true that some people are hateful but even if we don’t like, agree, or even joke about it we don’t have the right to control them. People are unable to express their thoughts and feelings because they do not want to offend others.…

Who are the victims in a hate crime? Victimization does not end with the primary person that was attacked. The Laramie Project demonstrated how the entire community, and eventually the nation, of a little town in Wyoming was affected by the death of 22 year old Matthew Shepard in October, 1998. Secondary victims, who do not bear the physical pain, but endure the after effects and emotional pain, included Matthew’s parents, Deputy Sheriff Reggie Fluty (who was called to the crime scene and tended to Matthew), and Doctor Cantway (who treated both Matthew and one of his attackers, Aaron McKinney) (Karmen, 2013). The effects of this hate crime saturated a society and called more than morals into question. Incidents like these force humanity to look at itself and criticize its core beliefs. Laramie’s motto of “Live and Let Live” applied to most…
Allowing people to speak freely is easy when what they say is not offensive. Being free to say things that offend or insult other groups of people may be necessary to challenge those in power or to identify problems within society. I am sure some would argue that hate speech serves no purpose but to offend and divide. To that argument, I would quickly point out that we should not be afraid of what people say, write, or think. You don't fight ideas by attempting to silence them. You fight them with better ideas. Also, who decides what is offensive? For example, if someone said, “I'm sick of Black people killing each other in Chicago”, some would find that offensive, but is that hate speech? We can easily say no, but it would not be our decision. Once a law is in place, those in charge decide how it is implemented. This is the other problem with limiting free speech, those in power would set and interpret the law. History is littered with examples of people gaining power then using that power to silence their…
Hate crimes exist because there is a lack of understanding and compassion for all people. Often time’s offenders are taught to hate a certain group of people because of their differences. Most hate crime offenders feel powerless growing up, they have an inferiority complex. Offenders were usually abused or teased as kids. Growing up as a kid who feels inferior, they learn to compensate in a negative, discriminating manner. They grow to hate out of a great need to feel powerful, this need is a direct result of how they were treated as a child. The ability to learn hate and prejudice is as natural as the ability to learn society’s most cherished values. Researchers have shown that those who commit hate crimes learn to hate, or discriminate against others at an early age. Most offenders often lack education and social skills. In some cases victims become offenders. They don’t understand what they did to provoke the perpetrator, and they retaliate against their attacker or someone similar to their attacker. Education and awareness can prevent these acts of violence. Teaching our children to love and be compassionate to their fellow man is a good way to prevent hate, which can turn into hate crimes. The ability to have an open mind and accept others as they are can also contribute to the prevention of…
I have always wanted to stop racism. I hate race in general. I find race to be nothing but a human made thing. I believe that everyone is a human and that we should not be dehumanized because of what race society categorizes us to be. Almost everyday on the news, you hear of some case where a person has been bullied or mistreated so bad that they commit suicide. Most of the time they are bullied simply because they are unique. Racism is an act where a person or group of people are discriminated against because of a particular characteristic, or set of characteristics, they have whether its from race, skin color, or religion. Some ways to eliminate racism are to stand up for your beliefs while respecting the beliefs of others, not taking part in hurtful acts, and also if you see a form of racism not…
So why do hate crimes occur? They occur as a result of preconception and obliviousness. Hate crimes is a “lack of understanding about differences among people and their traditions contributes to fear and intolerance. Left unaddressed, these sentiments many often lead to acts of intimidation and ultimately hate-motivated violence”. (“Why Do Hate Crimes Occur?")…
I just want to share my findings because really, I am just a mother that like any other parent worries about the world she brought her children into. I feel that we do learn to hate, and I am not for having the highest prisoner rate in the world and believe in rehabilitation but I want to keep us aware of our laws on hate crimes. In any learning strategies, research has shown that having education earlier on in life, it will stick better and longer. We are responsible for how we raise our children in this world. This country would be way less scary place to raise our children if we continue to not accept hate and the crimes that happen when a group or a person goes too far with their bias believes. I want to not only share my research but give some history. When we do not understand, what is going on around our own communities we fail as a whole. Bringing a little more awareness on hate crimes nationally and locally keeps us informed and better educated on things we might be able to help with, hate crimes continue to happen and often over looked we must not allow hate to be so easily accepted to the point where they over power what is right, for everyone. Hate crimes history has so many back grounds, I don’t feel I will be able to cover it all, like The Japanese…

Our world needs love and care to last. Without love and care everything we built on earth will breakup and fall. But everywhere we face the problem of racism, which till now we have no solution for it. Racism for anything whether it's the support for specific person or group, or racism for religions, or racism for countries. Many people think that because a person is from another country that what he/she is from, so that person is his/her enemy. Of course this idea is wrong. Bot unfortunately it's common now-a-days everywhere.…
Life's complexity taught me a lot of lessons which shaped me into who I am now. As I was growing up, I have learned to accept and understand the people around me and respect everyone even those who are unworthy. I admit that I hated some people before because I simply disliked their attitude. The other reasons for my hatred towards others can be traced to insecurity, jealousy, close-mindedness and being judgmental.…
