Response to "Face to Face"


During today's lesson I noticed a theme; that we tend to categorize and judge people instantly without really knowing who they are and why we're doing it. Face to face made me realize how quick we are to put someone under a label just because of the things we have heard or seen. It's as if we've been trained as humans to automatically stereotype people. When 911 happened listening to the stories of people being judged by their nationality and assuming that they were involved in the attack on the twin towers just shows what level we have stooped to. It seems as if we put blame on people and things so easily without looking at the situation as a whole. “Never judge a book by its cover”, this is such a cliché quote, but yet it’s so relevant and true. I never realized how much we've been taught or have picked up not really owning up to problems of our own. I personally believe things would be so much easier if we all came together as one as solved problems as a whole.
