Two Types Of People Essay

1038 Words5 Pages

I only agree with one view when dealing with the idea that there are only two types of people in the world. I believe there are only two types of people in the world: those who believe that there are only two types of people in the world and those who don’t. I am one of those people that do not believe in just two types of people in the world, or at least not anymore. I believe there are many different types of people in the world. As a child I was told that there were two types of people in the world, whether they be optimists and pessimists, hardworking and lazy, or even just good and bad. While I may have believed that back then, today I know that I can not classify people into one category or another. Now instead of walking around dividing people into one category or another I tend to wonder what each person is like as an individual. Everyone on earth is different from one another based on a magnitude of different qualities we all possess. We pass all different types of people every day. On our way to work, at the train station, at school, or anywhere else we go. Upon first glance these people have nothing in common, but if you look deep enough, you can always find something that links them together in this crazy life. Though we are all different from one another we can still find …show more content…

I hope not. If we were all the same the world would be very dull. That is what makes the world such a unique place; we all have different views and beliefs that lead us to being who we are. Though there are no two groups of people, it is easy to make spur of the moment judgement in our everyday lives. This has become so common that we need to guard against doing this. After all, can you honestly say that you could live in a world made up of only two types of people? I know I

Why does classification determine their worth as humans? How does that determine who you like and who you don’t? Chuck Collins has stated that “we get into trouble as a society when we don’t see that we’re in the same boat.” He shows that people generally have trouble reaching out to those who are different or outside of their comfort zone. In contrast, Collins also wants us to recognize that when we leave people out of society, we hurt ourselves in the process.

Can you imagine in world where everyone was the exact same? People would theoretically speaking never disagree but eventually there would be someone that had a different opinion and that would lead to more people having a different opinion which would in turn create factions. While the society might be able to last for a limited time, the cracks would start to show because it isn’t in our nature to all be the

While people come in all shapes in sizes, underneath it all we are still flesh and blood. Even if people have a different skin color or orientation we are all humans living on this earth. This idea, no this fact was really driven home to me when I was traveling with my family around the world. We met people in Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, and Ecuador and though they looked and talked different they had the same needs, concerns and wants. I found a quote by Santiago, a boy in The Alchemist, written by Paulo Coelho that really explains this better than I ever could, “I have inside me the winds, the deserts, the oceans, the stars, and everything in the universe.

On planet earth, there are more than seven billion people. Each of these people are different in their own unique way. A person's personality defines them the most as a person.

Imagine walking into a room and being instantly identified as a criminal. Imagine having to experience this in every room you enter. Imagine walking into a store and being watched, expected to be a thief or sometimes even expected to reveal a knife, gun or a bomb. When we meet new people, most of us look for differences rather than similarities. From young we are taught that everyone is different and that continually makes us associate others by these differences.

Children in this generation are the future, and if we maintain the excessive need for similarity, we will fail as a society. The world we live in today is already struggling with its societal values, and without uniqueness, nothing will change. Without the person-to-person distinction, the world turns gray and

A stereotype is defined: “To believe unfairly that all people or things with a particular characteristic are the same.” Another definition is: “As a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing.” There are numerous types of stereotypes based on dress, culture, sex, location, and race characteristics. They are oftentimes discriminatory in judgement. Even though, some stereotypes may have some truth to them, it is inexcusable to state all people in a specific area or similar characteristics are the same.

The need for categorization resulted to race being defined in institutional contexts such as “a group of people who perceive themselves and are perceived by others as possessing distinctive hereditary traits” (Ore, 2014, p.9). With this definition, it becomes easier to group individuals in limited categories, such as by their color. What is important to note is the attached perceptions and assumptions based on one’s racial background; this constitutes the social construct of race. As Ore (2014) explains, we do not create these assumptions due to their biological factors as individual people, but rather as social factors. Social construction of race goes all the way back to when the person is born.

A very controversial topic of discussion today involves the difference between the biological and social view of race. The biological view sees a population according to traits that are passed down biologically, this is where the term “race” comes from. It would be somewhat accurate to say that people from different parts of the world have some differences biologically. The issue in this argument is found when people see that there may be some differences biologically but try to segregate them into fixed categories. What is found by this is that by assessing this biology and peoples' appearance, you can categorize them into a specific race.

Socially constructed identities are utilized to identify who we are and to oppress individuals, especially if they do not conform to those identities or are coming from an intersecting identity. Sometimes on the journey to establish identity and sense of self battles are faced in terms of oppression, acceptance, and silence. All of these variables, in accordance with intersectionality, can make it very difficult for someone to identify themselves or for others to identify them. When an individual comes from an intersecting identity, just like in Zami and Redefining Realness, they often are searching for acceptance and struggle with silence as the origin of their oppression is not as apparent if that intersectionality was not present or as potent.
