Racism and sexism are both examples of discrimination that happen daily in contemporary society. Unfortunatel many instances of discrimination go unnoticed and unchecked because the society‚ more specifically the United States‚ is supposedly past the era of discriminatory practices in work‚ education and day to day living. "In fact‚ racism and sexism can be unintentional as well as intentional and good people who mean well can inadvertently say things that are racist and sexist and homophobic" (Rothenberg

American essayist and social critic H.L. Mencken(1880-1956) wrote‚ “ The average man does not want to be free. He simply wants to be safe.” This saying is in many ways true and shows in human behavior not only throughout history‚ but in modern day as well. In my opinion‚ humans display wanting either freedom or safety on several occasions‚ but in reality want aspects of both within their lives. In modern day‚ some people are against decisions involving change in society‚ which shows that humans

it is based upon their sex‚ their color of skin‚ their religion‚ or their sexual preferences‚ they are unjustifiably hated for it. The deep routed anger cannot be easily identified by these straight forward isms (sexism‚ racism‚ anti-Semitism‚ homophobia); the pain and disgust that resides in these individuals that commit these hate crimes is far deeper then these simple phrases.

Such as the notation of a women playing a contact sport or a man figure skating both would be scrutinized by his peers because of this idea of “gender roles”. Again back

Unit 4: Culminating Activity Racism Racism is something we’ve all witnessed and in my opinion is one of the most disgusting and pointless hate crimes out there‚ and there are quite a lot of hate crimes (Anti-Semitism‚ Homophobia‚ Transphobia‚ Religious Hate‚ and more.) Race was created socially‚ primarily by how people perceive ideas and faces we are not quite used to. Racism is basically just a label that has been put on “us” and “them” or “me” (generally speaking) and “you”. Now no one really

“If a man practices homosexuality‚ having sex with another man as with a woman‚ both men have committed a detestable act. They must both be put to death for they are guilty of a capital offense”. This verse is found in the bible under the new living translation of Leviticus 20:13 and it is verses like these found in the bible that people often use to justify their intolerance of homosexuality. I cannot stand when people try to justify their disapproval of homosexuality with references to the Bible

United States Constitution clearly states that all men are equal and are entitled to life‚ liberty‚ and the pursuit of happiness ("The Constitution of the United States‚" Amendment 5)‚ but somewhere along the way many people turned astray and thus homophobia was formed.
