Trump University (Trump has bad morals but im still voting for him)

Trump University was started in 2005 and was said to give students that attend, a better understanding of the business side of the workplace better than any other college could provide. Beings Donald Trump was so successful many kids attended this institution. They paid money for a so called “University” this college of business was trying to suck kids in and teach them better than any other school could in reality they were going to a school and not getting the education that they really needed. Through all this Trump was also forced to change the name of the school from Trump University to Trump Entrepreneur Initiative, this name didn’t make it seem like it as prestigious as Trump had intended it to be. But what I read was no matter how prestigious he wanted this institution to be the kids going to school there were ultimately going to pay a lot of money for an education that wasn’t going to be worth their money. One individual in this article stated that he went to Trump University and spent $34,995 dollars on the program and he only got certificates in some areas. He was not happy about the schooling he payed for and the outcome of students was nothing of what they imagined. They thought they would graduate and be successful much like Donald Trump and in reality they probably wasted a lot of money for something that won’t help them later in life.

whtie privilege nra and mass shootings

Because white people will someday be the minority in the United States, we can expect white privilege to decline, increased gun control laws, and powerful groups like the NRA to lose their influence in the political theatre, when eventually we will all lose our guns due to factors that I will tell you about that later in this essay. What will cause us to lose our weapons, and what will diminish programs like the NRA? I think the ideal of white privilege can influence this greatly.

White privilege exists but that doesn’t mean I believe it is right. White privilege has been around ever since we came to America many years ago. Some of you may wonder, what is white privilege? White privilege is believed to be enforced when invisible assets or benefits are given to “white” colored people. This privilege has been around in American from the time the settlers came. It has been around ever since slavery was introduced in the America’s and it will always be around in certain parts of the U.S. for people that will never allow themselves to change. White privilege has been brought back up much more in the news in the last few years. It has been a very big issue in many police cases and jury trials and many more events where white people tend to be the enforcers. There are cases where an African American man gets accused of such a thing as rape and even if he never actually committed the crime, with white privilege, he found himself doing the time. Some men in this man’s situation are brought before a white judge with a white jury and they automatically see this as a lose, lose situation for themselves. Part of this sounds like racism but the white privilege part comes into effect if the man in this same situation is white they would give this man a much more fair trial and would possibly work harder to prove him innocent. Why is this so? Because the idea of whites being the superior race is still in our heads and as long as it is and whites continue to have power in the world this ideology will stick around.

Can white privilege be involved in mass shootings? Who commits mass shootings? Well one thing that seems to be a common characteristic of most mass murders are they are young white males. Does race play a factor in who commits most mass shootings? It obviously must because white males have predominately committed most of the mass shootings in the U.S. over its lifetime. All of these mass shooters though happen to percentage wise match up with their same percentage of the population they withhold in the United States. For example the white population takes up 63% of the U.S. and white males tend to take part in over 64% of the mass shootings in the U.S. alone each year. This proves that yes white males do tend to commit more of the mass shootings but if there were more African Americans in the U.S. or more Asian and Japanese in the U.S. would they be leading in most mass shootings committed. According to the study I found, that stated this, technically if the African American population was greater than that of the white population then African Americans would be the leading race in mass shootings in America. Another factor that has an effect on who conducts mass shootings is gender. How often do you here of a female murderer? Hardly ever, and when you do it usually catches you off guard. Some of the reasons men are more likely to conduct mass shootings is because men are more likely to own a fire arm. They are also more likely to keep their feeling sheltered up inside them. All these things seem to be much like what most people think about men. Men aren’t going to go out and tell everyone about what they are feeling inside and ask for help to get it fixed. Most of them will fight through it and try to tough it out no matter what it takes to get it done, and for some of them that means committing a mass shooting. These men have usually flown the cookoo nest and are no longer thinking strait. What makes them conduct these shootings? Most of the scientists and psychologists working on this matter immediately think insanity. When in reality most of them actually do have serious mental illnesses that can lead them to think this is the right thing to do to save them or help them get over whatever they are going through. Some of these people have had things earlier in their life influence whether or not they decide to do this. Some of them for example may gain hatred and anger from getting rape or beat as a kid. All this built up aggression can lead to the occurrence of a mass shooting. These entire factors can prove why it seems that most of these shooters tend to be young white males. It shows the different traits all of these young men have and is easily understandable why they have committed or had the idea of committing mass shootings.

When it comes down to who can stop mass shootings the matter is really hard. There are many reasons why, one is Americans need guns for many things like recreational shooting sports, and hunting. So why should we take guns away from the law abiding citizens who use guns in the right and proper ways. The fact of the matter is the types of people committing mass shootings are the type of people that who regardless whether or not you take guns away from all Americans will end up with a gun somehow anyway. These people don’t care that they would be doing something illegal by getting guns illegally when the reason they are getting the guns is their main objective. It all refers back to the old saying,” Guns don’t kill people. People kill people with guns.” This is something people need to think about when they say we need to ban guns from all Americans. The NRA promotes the proper use of guns for recreational purposes as well as hunting purposes and collecting purposes. They don’t promote gun violence in anyway and most of their true followers aren’t people that commit mass shootings anyway. The people that support and follow the NRA are the people that you don’t need to be worried about having guns. These people are the ones that understand how to use them and when to use them.

What can we learn about white privilege, mass shooters, and the NRA? We know that most mass shooters are white and we know that juries tend to take more of a pardon on white men. They tend to make sure to give them the fairest trial they can. So where does the NRA tie into all of this most of the enrolled members of the NRA are actually white. They all have a decent understanding of safety with weapons and they fully understand the intended purposes of these weapons. The NRA makes sure people understand weapons and how they should be used, so in this respect they do help out the world in some ways by teaching how to handle weapons but the only thing that could make it all better is if we could find a way to get everyone involved and teach everyone how to understand how powerful a weapon can be and how they themselves need to learn its safety instructions and its intended purpose.

Freddie Gray

I believe that society let him down. It all started back when his mother had gotten pregnant. Her blood was filled with lead and thus when he was born his blood had lead in it as well. As he grew older and continued being stuck in the horrible neighborhood he was forced to grow up in, he developed even more lead in his blood and this impaired his thinking abilities as well as physical functions. He had trouble focusing and paying attention and his reading and writing abilities were much lesser than of someone from other better neighborhoods. His whole life he was stuck in the dumps and he couldn’t get out.

Freddie was a nice and genuinely funny guy when it came to his personality. Even though he had trouble doing some everyday tasks for us; like reading and writing he still found a way to be cheery. But all the fun he had eventually got him in trouble. This kept getting him in trouble until for years until the one time he got in trouble and he couldn’t come back from it. Freddie had, had many different little harmless crimes over the years like drug possession and other little things of that nature. But one day he wasn’t even smoking weed or doing anything illegal but he got caught up in the wrong area at the wrong time and he ran from the police when they showed up. They then jostled him around a little bit and he ended up damaging his spinal cord and this later led to his death.

                Freddie was a well-liked man in the community that never left the place he was born and raised. I believe if Freddie would have been raised in a better neighborhood that maybe he would have had a fighting chance. When he is stuck in a place that attracts the scum of the earth it is hard to get out. He was just a product of bad habits that were all influenced by the community around him. It was hard for him to control but it was the place he had to be, because that is the place where all his problems began.

Deviance

I read an article that told about how multiple tattoos and piercings lead to more deviant acts. The idea behind it was that most of the people that get tattoos tend to be troublemakers in the first place. It said that if they had one or more they were looking for attention and they were trying to make a statement with their tattoos. It also stated that people with multiple tattoos, intimate piercings, or multiple piercings would also tend to spend more time in jail and would commit more crimes than those without these characteristics.

                I side with the article in some respects that it seems that statistically it shows that most convicted criminals may have these kinds of tattoos and piercings, but on the other hand that doesn’t mean that everyone that gets these body marks is automatically a bad person. For some of them it is a life choice and they like what it looks like and they enjoy having these marks. This being said it doesn’t mean that they are automatically criminals and deviants. When I see a person with tons of tattoos and piercings I may not think they look the most traditional and professional but that still doesn’t mean that they are bad people.

                I found in this article that It only states the bad things about people with tattoos and piercings and it wants people to think that if you have these body marks you are automatically a deviant. I believe this is wrong and they people that put this out there could spice up their information more and put things in about the percentage of people that aren’t deviants that have tattoos and piercings. Overall I found out that the media tends to judge people based more on appearance than actual values.

Me Project Part 1

Heredity, it is the things that we are born with, such as eye color, hair color, and skin pigmentation, perhaps even height and body build. All of these things are part of what develops when people have a first impression of you. The first thing a person knows about you when you meet them face to face is your appearance and all of these things deal with your appearance. So when I think about what kind of things I have been passed down from my family has been my height and obviously my heavy body build. My family has been known for tall and big people so that is where my looks come from.

I believe birth order is probably my most noticeable factor. Birth order is labeled as the order in which you are born in your family. I was born second in my family and I act much like what the studies in the book tell us about the last born child. I am much better in social relationships than my older sister and I am much more affectionate and friendly than she is at times. I believe the study of birth order is very accurate. I found that all of the things it talks about like what I listed are very true. Being born second I believe has made me a better and more fun-loving person.

Another factor is parental characteristics and this tells us about how the age or ideologies of our parents can affect us directly as they raise us. A few things that my parents handed down to me would be my religious views, my dedication to getting a good education, and how someday I want to be able to pursue a job in a field like what my parents have reached.

Lastly I will tell you about the factor of cultural environment. This factor deals with where you are raised and what culture you grow up in, and I believe the fact that I grew up in the United States has led to some of the characteristics the book listed. Such as competitiveness, assertiveness, and individualism, I find myself being very competitive at times and I definitely tend to be assertive at times. Lastly I believe individualism is a strong trait for me as well, because I find myself being very unique at times and definitely my own special kind of individual.

If I had to pick two factors that have really shaped my life it would be birth order and cultural environment. In these two factors I have found everything that makes me who I am in this life. I found that I am competitive, assertive, affectionate, friendly, and definitely a social bug. These things make up my life and that is why I picked birth order and cultural background to be my two go to factors for how my life is shaped.

Veterans

I think in this situation it wasn’t fair for them to penalize this soldier because it was a judgment call that someone gave him the authority to make. In the grand scheme of things it may have all been a misunderstanding but he needed to either make the call he made or possible could have risked getting killed or something worse happening from the men on the motorcycle. I think during a war everything that happens is based off of someone making a judgment call much like the soldier that got 20 years did. They all have to choose either kill or risk paying the price of their life for not making the write call sometimes. It all comes down to war is dangerous and risky but I don’t believe anyone should be charged with murder during a war when people are killed left and right because a war is one of the most savage things we people do.

                I believe that people that are citizens of the United States should have to do a few things to be considered true citizens. They need to do their part in supporting our government and society by voting, working, and paying taxes. When people that become citizens of this country or people that are born in our country to earn their citizenship, need to help out our society when they get older by doing those three things and anything else they can do to help better our country or our society. When you are a citizen you are supposed to do your part and help everyone.

Racism

Not all people think of racism the same way. Some believe it is strictly against blacks but is that really true? No it is not, it is based off of whatever ideal you believe or what you have seen, for example: some races believe their group or race is the most superior race and if you are not of that race then you are discriminated upon. Some groups see racism as being strictly color or even language can be a discrimination factor. Racism is different in everyone’s eyes.

                In the first article it tells us about how China for example saw itself as the center of society and many years ago they discriminated against people of different color and race because they believed that they were superior to everyone else. This is just one of the forms of discrimination talked about, but this was proven in historical records from China. It also tells us about what racism really is. Racism is based on biological features; this is why most people believe racism is based solely on color, when in reality it is much more than that to some people.

                Another issue in the first article includes slavery. Most people only think of black people to be slaves when the one thing most people do not know is that ever since the beginning it has been much more than black people being used as slaves. It states that many, many years ago in ancient civilizations any person or group that would get conquered or taken over would become slaves; “The Greeks and Romans employed slaves as domestic servants.” an example of this would be when a group like the Romans would conquer a Greek group they would make the group conquered into their slaves, no matter what color their skin was. One last thing this article talked about was where racism originated. Ultimately it originated where ever there was first hatred for another race or group of people. That is when it first happened was when people first began have hatred against certain races or a group of people that they did no mix well with. Even though this is what I believe is where it originated many say it can be traced back to western civilization first.

                Now onto the second article where it tells us about the different types of culture groups and how they transformed into these groups. One thing this article talks about that I believe needs to be shared is about how people interpret “racism versus individualism”. It tells of how whether or not you are racist is based off of how you judge a person based solely on the matter at hand. “The color of a person’s skin, his genetic origins, the community of his parents: none of that is essential in judging another.” Another thing that ties into this is how our melting pot of a country helps break apart all of the divisions of race that still exist in the country. Because people in this country must work together and if people of other races can help us do that, we will help them and let them help us to get the job done. In our country people working together helps the U.S. run and function and we need to have this to make sure we can stay as strong and dominant as ever before. Lastly the most important part of this article I believe is in the closing. It states, “, we have much more in common as individual human beings than as members of any particular group. To make the most of what society has to offer, we have to learn to see people for what they are, not what they seem to be or what we assume them to be.” This just continually supports the fact that you can’t judge a book by its cover and this is one of the reasons racism exists today, is because not everyone can see through what’s on the outside to what is good on the inside.

                For the third article we will talk about how the media can influence how prejudice we can really be. What this mainly told me when I read this article was that we are influenced by the things we hear more than the things we may actually think. “What’s in your head is not you, it’s the culture around you,” this informs us about how we may believe that we aren’t racist or prejudice, but when the media and literature around us continues to uproot the issues that people have tried to help us forget about, it tends to make us act or think slightly prejudice. “What is more important is you behavior, rather than your gut reaction.” This sums up how we need to act with how we interpret things from the media. If you stick with your gut reaction than that can influence how exploit what is on your mind from these conflicts and stereotypes are being brought up in front of you. It’s how you react to the stereotypes you hear and see in the media is how you will be defined as whether you are or are not prejudice. Hopefully it all works out that you can control yourself and your reaction so you are not prejudice.

                When it’s all said and done how can we decide where racism originated or if it is common in the entire world or just in the Western Civilizations? I believe that racism may have started off in Western civilizations but it branched out everywhere when people began moving around from country to country and as they did that prejudice views came with them. Did racism come from the media and western civilizations? I believe that it originated in the west but media continues uprooting it and bringing it out and that affects people around the world continuously when they have to relive the past and deal with old issues that have already been settled once before. It can be found anywhere there is hatred or prejudice against people or a group of people.

                My goal today was to tell you about racism and what racism is all about. I began tell you about how slavery hasn’t always been just African Americans, I’ve also told you about what racism is, where it originated, and how it is interpreted by people through the media. All of these things are facts about racism and they are to help you learn about what ways you can help yourself be less prejudice and find a path away from racism.
