I think that there are different types of rumors. Rumors could be life changing or just a trap. I also think rumors are very important. Rumors could prepare people for upcoming events in their life. I also agree with Difonzo when he said that rumors are very prevalent. I feel like rumors spread extremely fast. All you have to do is share it with one big mouth person and the whole world knows. I strongly agree with Difonzo’s claims dealing with…

Most times when we judge people it is often done without us realizing it. Judging people is a bad habit but it is inevitable. When we judge people by their appearance we are only looking at it from one-side because we are not putting ourselves in their…
William Gass’s says in his essay The Art of Self, discusses how “minorities should be promoted to major, and how sects gain possession of the holy” (43) Art of Self. This means that minorities deserve more respect and power than what they receive. While sects should gain sole possession of the holy, Gass references how non-minorities should get more respect and power than minorities. Another statement that connects to a previous comment written by Gass explains how some humans should let behavior speak for itself instead of just relying on non-verbal communication. Humans cannot determine a person by looking at their gait or how much swagger they have; they have to look at the person’s personality and inside emotions and behavior before anything…
Rumors are spreading about two people. Death the Kid and (Y/N) (L/N). These rumors are annoying Kid to no end. One because they are not dating and two (Y/N) is now spending more time with Soul.

In life people prejudge other by their appearance or by what they've heard. We all know that it's best to get to know a person before judging them, this is a very well known saying, but a lot of people tend to forget about it. Rumors spread like a wildfire and will fool anyone who hears them, and sometimes rumors last for years, they will trick people into thinking that you're something you're not.…
Gossip spreads like wildfire, and not in a good way, in which Rumor is a great representation of this. Rumor always has something to say about everyone. Her information isn’t always necessarily good news either. “Now in no time at all through all the African cities Rumor goes- nimble as quicksilver…
Nothing is what it seems, including people. People judge other people by their appearances and actions without even knowing people. We see this theme a couple times in the book “To Kill A Mockingbird”, by Harper Lee. Harper Lee’s appearance message shows that people judge based on looks but the rumors and looks are never trusting.…
In this passage “How Rumors Help Us Make Sense of an Uncertain World “by Nicholas Difonzo he defines rumor as unverified information that people think are important. He then explains where they come from, what they consist of, and what people get from them. He explains what makes a rumor; Rumors must be informational, acts of communication, significant to the tellers and audience, and never verified truthful information.…
Consideration of a person’s perspective “self” and the processes used to determine behaviors is one element of social psychology. Some of the processes and theories are: impression management, social tuning, social comparisons, mindsets, and intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. This work will examine the basic premises of each of these along with personal examples provided by the author.…
Keith Gilyard in his book Voices of the Self states a position about pluralism in education. Giving his own experience as well as others within the educational system as an example, Gilyard demonstrates what can happen if schools only acknowledge, accept, and represent the culture of the majority. Gilyard, as an African-American boy suffered the uprooting from his atmosphere to be placed in a ?divided by two? new environment. After he finished first grade, he and his family moved from Harlem to Queens. Both White-American and African-American children inhabited his new neighborhood, but they were divided in different school districts. Since his family lived within the range of the school where all White-American children lived; he had to attend that school. There was where the author started to feel the separation from his culture. Gilyard states that there are many other cultures other than the White-American in the U.S., such as the African-American culture, as well as different languages other than English, such is the Black English (a dialect from English), and they ought to be accepted in schools. The non-acceptance of children's culture in school will lead, for Gilyard, to loss of identity within school, and consequently to a search for one's identity in other places that may lead to bad experience in life. Moreover, Gilyard pursues goes beyond the school system when he talks about pluralism. With many references about American history during the late 60?s, he shows the pluralism within American society and the consequences of the non-acknowledgement, non-acceptance, and disrespect of this multiculturalism within this society.…

Don’t gossip: Share the information in an informative manner with the people who need to be informed. Only use facts.…
For this reason, I somewhat agree with Cato the Elder's quote "We cannot control the evil tongues of others, but a good life enables us to disregard them." For gossip is so common as to be unavoidable.…
Judging others before you get to know them is very unfair and unkind. Especially judging them based on other people's opinions or just off of rumors. In Heilbroner's essay he quoted Walter Lippman's saying, "For the most part we do not first see, and then define; we define first, and then see". This is very important because it is pointing out a flaw that we as humans have in society. What we don't do is get to know a person first then make our judgments about them. What we do is look at how their appearance is, what nationality that person is, and listen to the rumors about that person and base our judgments on that. This is not positive at all because everyone on earth is different and have different tastes, style, interests, etc. So because their style, interest does not match your take on a successful and attractive person, you judge that person negatively. That is a problem in our world today. We judge people in negative ways without getting to know the person first. We put labels on how a certain person must look, act and talk. If a person does not meet up with those labels, the reason that they don’t are blamed on their skin color, ethnicity, background, etc.…
