Beware of the Dog pg. 686

Sight is one of the dominant sense an organism could ever possess. As we wade and mellow our way slowly through the obstacles life throws in our face, we often times come across things and people whose appearance deceived and mislead us. I will admit that I have, several time. There had been times when I was prejudice against a classmate who does not appear all that intelligent at one particular time period. There had also been times when I was stupid and narrow-minded and looked down at people of a particular profession and race. I had been wrong most of the time. People are often much more then they appear. People may be mislead when they see an aggressive looking person with a dark scar across his or her face. They will automatically label these people criminals and distance their noble selves away from these so -called " criminals" . In truth, these " criminals" may be a person with a genuine, and kind nature, you never know. The people might be mislead due to stereotypical images that exhausted throughout movies and books that ported the antagonists as someone like that image. People may discover their initial reaction was wrong when they really got to know these people, and look at them, for the first time, beneath their skin and appearance. People also may be deceived by a person's ethnicity. An example being aborigneese. People might be mislead by their ethnicity and some may think of them as people who sang and dance all day long( which is a stereotype that is not necessarily true). They were mislead because of again, the media.  They, again, might discover they were wrong after getting to know these people. The rest of the example I had in mind have a similar content so I will simply list them: Race, Religion, and personality.
