John+Prejudice+reflection

Prejudice is something that has always been prevalent in America, but our readings make me think that it is slowly improving. The media often refers to the population as a whole group thinking the same way, when we actually have many problems within. In the //Scarlet Letter//, Hester was forced to wear a letter A to show everyone the sinful act she committed. Although Hester was almost identical to the Puritan community, the Puritans created a way to discriminate against her without listening to her explanation. The more we learn, the more tolerance we have for others’ opinions. In the //Bluest Eye//, Maureen Peal had everything she wanted as an individual person. If we do not listen to each other, we will lose our powerful status because we could be socially unstable. Today, we will remain a very prejudice state as long as we do not learn about others’ beliefs.
