In this video a transgender female tried going into a women’s bathroom at McDonalds when two females one women and the other a 14-year-old girl attacked her. This is a hate crime that would fall under the violence category. They brutally assaulted this woman because of her sex. Aside from this beating no one bothered to stop it. They recorded and enjoyed problem. Because of choosing not to control the problem McDonalds fired the employee for allowing this to go on. That’s why I put this video under violence.

After reading this article I would say it goes under Genocide in the pyramid of hate. The reason for me saying this is Andrew P. Kehoe did not only kill himself but a multitude of children and his wife. Andrew had an unstable form of hate, do to the extent he went to expressed his hate by School bombing, mass murder, murder-suicide, suicide truck bombing, arson, and uxoricide. The hate he had was by increased taxes and his defeat in the Spring 1926 election for township clerk which should have never lead to such extreme actions. This article shows how hate can be Inside a person without directly being mentally or physically abused.

After reading this article I disagree that this would fall under genocide in the pyramid of hate.Genocide means the deliberate killing of a large group of people, especially those of a particular ethnic group or nation.Forty-five people might seem like a lot, but compared to the holocaust in which eleven million people died that is a genocide.The bath bombing school should fall under violence.
Hi, David,
DeleteYou write about a specific example of a hate crime that resulted in a large number of casualties and loss of innocent lives. However, this cannot be classified as genocide, since genocide is " the policy of deliberately killing a nationality or ethnic group" (dictionary.com).
You also mention that this hate crime was innate, yet you seem to be contradicting yourself by mentioning that outside factors, such as: increased taxes and personal defeat contributed to the perpetrator's decision to commit such an abominable act of violence.
I believe this leads to a bigger question: to what extent is society responsible for creating conditions that push the individual to extreme acts of violence?
I disagree that this would fall under genocide. I don't really think that this is an act of hate towards a certain group of people. I think that the community and the stuff going on around him like increasing taxes got him really mad. His patience and temper seems to be small since he killed his horse because it was "lazy". I agree with Mrs. Dima i think that this leads to that bigger question.

In December 2012,eleven days before christmas a shooting that will be never forgotten accured. Twenty six people died in the Sandy hook shooting,twenty of them kindergarteners,the rest were adults.A man dressed in black opened fire and in a matter of minutes children and adults died.Leaving the parents of the children in shock,fear and sadness.Before opening fire on the elementary school he killed his mother by shooting her in the head.When adam was a child he was always disturbed.He had a project and he filled it with cannibalism and murder.When a child shows signs of being disturbed you need to bring him to a psychologists to evaluate him and his behavior. This shooting has become the second deadliest school shooting in the United States history.
http://www.cnn.com/2012/12/14/us/connecticut-school-shooting/
On the pyramid of hate this very sad and disturbed day would fall on violence, because even though this horrible person killed 26 people and it might seem like many. Especially if 20 of them were children, it is not genocide because Adam did not kill hundreds of people.It also can not be prejudiced attitudes because its for example scapegoating.Also can not be acts of prejudice or discrimination because acts of prejudice involves name calling and ridicule.While discrimination involves harassment,which only leaves violence that involves threats,assault,terrorism and murder.
After reading this response and article, I agree of where this situation falls in the pyramid of hate which is violence. Although the Sandy Hook murder killed many children and teachers, the killing was not as significant as other situations where thousands of people were killed.
DeleteI also agree where the article falls under in the pyramid of hate but the only thing is that Adam did that to prove a point that when he was little that something must of been bothering him in Sandy Hook when he had attended that he probably wanted to get revenge. But Adam did it the wrong way and did it by violence that hurt the families of the those individuals and murder innocent children and adults.
DeleteAlthough Adam did experience some events while he was attending sandy hook elementrary school, I don't think the shooting had anything to do with an act of revenge. I know that Adam in a columbine forum mentioned his digust for culture and civilization , also using Travis chimp as an example of the brainwashing that occurs in modern society. I think his motives were more based on him not wanting the children to be brainwashed and corrupt. I am not denying that maybe there was a little resentment towards the school due to past bullying he dealt with and maybe it did have a little fragile bit to do with why he committed the attacks but I don't think it was just that. I think he just wanted to "save" those kids. I do not agree with what he did whatsoever and believe that their could have been other ways on to deal with this situation. Adam had aspergers but it wasn't linked to violence so i wouldnt blame mental illness either. I don't think the sandy hook shooting was a genocide either. I think he just went into the school and shot whoever he saw and wasnt directed into killing anyone in specific with the exception of his mother, who he did intend to kill. This article would fall under violence. I would also like to note where Lishana says "When a child shows signs of being disturbed you need to bring him to a psychologists to evaluate him and his behavior". I do agree with this however Adam had underwent many psychological evaluations but it really didnt benefit him because he was mainly incompetent. He didnt feel like he was "disturbed".
DeleteAfter reading your response and the article I agree that this does not fall under genocide, but under violence. Even though it was a "large" number of people, it was not large enough to be considered genocide.

In September 2013, Bart Palosz committed suicide due to continuous acts of bullying throughout his middle school and high school life. Bart was found dead in his bedroom with a gunshot wound, just after completing his first day of sophomore year in Greenwich high school. Before his death, Bart published several warning signs on social media. After his death, former classmates began to explain the reasons that led up to Bart's death. In eighth grade, Bart was sent to the emergency room after getting his head bashed into a locker by a bully, faculty members claimed that the incident was an accident. In freshman year biology class, Bart's brand-new phone was spotted by a classmate and was smashed to the ground. Many other students explained that Bart would sit by himself at lunch and showed no signs that he was currently being bullied.
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/connecticut-teen-committed-suicide-bullied-years-friends-article-1.1444213
On the pyramid of hate this situation would fall under the category of acts of prejudice because Bart's tragic experience included ridicule and social exclusion. Although many of Bart's incidents included physical contact, he still experience social exclusion which kept him away from social contact with his classmates and the rest of the school.
I agree with you Calcyan. They did these horrible things; hurting him physically and mentally. Destroying his stuff. It also says no one sat with him during lunch, an example of social exclusion and avoidance.
DeleteI disagree with Calcyan and Estefani. I believe that this article would go under the category of violence. Yes it did have acts of prejudice but you wouldn't have violence without Acts of prejudice, Prejudice acts and discrimination. The tiers of the pyramid build off of each other. They are all connected, but in this case it would fall in the category of violence. He was assaulted at school. He was hospitalized for these acts of violence. It would happen during lunch and at the lockers. He was pushed into bushes on the way to school. This would defiantly fall under violence.
DeleteHowever Hannah, if it would fall in to violence, everything under it would have to be shown. There was no act of discrimination.
DeleteI agree with Hannah, I believe that this falls under violence because this teen was assaulted in many different ways and it wasn't just name calling or social avoidance, his life was threatened as well.

This story shocked me a lot because its crazy how this 17 year old teenager gets murder and the police thinks that it was a suicide because he was hanged. But the family of the 17 year old strongly states the it wasn't a suicide because the teen loved life the brother stated,"he was just happy for life". The pastor and the family of Lacy thinks that it was a "hate crime" but a hate crime of an individual that has problems with blacks. But the cops and the Lacy"s family want to know what type of murder was it.
This story falls under in the pyramid level 3 and then to level 4. Level 3 because first it goes for discrimination because Lacy was a black teenager murder for some reason maybe a white individual.Plus level 3 has to do with segregation and that has a little bit to do with that topic. Now level 4 because Lacy was murder by another individual and maybe the murderer hated Lacy from some reason but no ones knows why. And the family and the police wants answer to know why Lacy was murdered.
I really like how she uses multiple levels of hate to describe this hate crime. Good Job Angeliz!!

In this video a couple was attacked by a man just because they were a gay couple. The man used phrases such as "I f****** hate faggots!" This was a level of Violence because the man had attacked the couple physically. The man that the attacker hurt had several facial bones broken and has to receive surgey. This is why I say that the level of hate was Violence.
I definitely agree that this even falls under a severe level of violence. It's so shocking and sad that someone would do such a horrible thing.

Justin, I agree that this constitutes as "Violence" according to the Triangle of Hate (because it still isn't a pyramid). This was a targeted attack on a specific group of people (in this case L.G.B.T.). This was a random act of assault against people whose only 'crime' is that they are gay. J.P. Masterson suffered a broken nose and fractured eye socket, which aren't very serious injuries, but are clear indicators of getting beaten in a way that was intended to be painful.
I'd also like to point out that no one made any attempt to assist the couple while they were being battered for by a man supposedly smaller than I am. Kind of a sad commentary on the state of public outcry against violence toward L.G.B.T. groups.

15 year old Daniel Perry committed suicide after being targeted by a scam and falling prey to cyber-bullying. Daniel believe that he was in an online relationship with a pretty girl around his age. After some time he was asked to send nude photos or other explicit materials of the same kind that were then used to blackmail him into giving the operator of the scam money. He was also bullied on his ask.fm account (the article doesn't state whether the bulling was because of the scam, but I'm assuming it is because stuff like that always finds a way of spreading and kids are cruel and despicable creatures) with comments that told him to end his own life.
This falls under the "ridicule" subsection of the "Acts of Prejudice" category of the Triangle of Hate (it's not a pyramid) because the boy in question was taunted and told to kill himself until he eventually did. The article doesn't say anything about his social life in school, so perhaps there was also social exclusion/avoidance along with the probable name calling and jokes.
To be fair, he should've known better than to send "explicit materials" to his "girlfriend." If you don't want your nudes to go online, don't take any naked pictures of yourself (it's 100% effective!).
I disagree with Nathaniel on how this situation falls under just the "Acts of Prejudice." I think that this situation may have started with "Acts of Prejudice," but then escalated all the way up to violence. He took his own life and that would be considered violence. I do agree with Nathaniel on how the boy should have known better than to send explicit material, especially over social media to a "girlfriend" whom he has never met. With similar stories like this that have happened before, he should have been more cautious.

This would fall under "Bias-Motivated Violence" in the pyramid of hate. The reason it would fall under this category is because of the acts of vandalism and desecration the woman committed. The women wrote the number 666, which is often associated with the devil, in several places along the Biblical Baptist Church (La Iglesia Biblica Bautista). The woman also desecrated a baby Jesus figurine at Sacred Hearts Roman Catholic Church in Haverhill, Massachusetts by stealing it and replacing it with a pig's head.

Not too long ago a young boy committed suicide after being harassed and bullied very badly just because he was the only boy who was a cheerleader at his school. It got so bad that he was was taken out of school to be home schooled and eventually he took away his life.
At first this was an individual act of prejudice starting off as bullying then landing in the category of Bias-Motivated Violence because he committed suicide. He was greatly harassed and bullied for doing something that he loved and killed himself because he could not take the pain no longer which was really sad especially since he was so young.
I agree, it was really sad. I have a connection because im at cheerleader and there are boys on the team. Nothing is wrong with it, your sport shouldn't define your status quo.

ReplyDeleteThe story I have read, fits in the violence section on the pyramid. First it starts at the acts of prejudice, discrimination then it builds up to violence. The kid I read about is 15-year-old Bart Palosz who commits suicide because he's been bullied for some years, and no one has did anything about it until he took matters into his own hands, and takes his own life. Bart sister states "I honestly do not think the school addressed the bullying, .... It could have saved him if they did." I totally agree because he has been targeted middle school into high school. That's like a light bulb in someones head, "this kid needs help." No guidance counselor helped him, nor did other student who know he was being targeted, by his actions and post on the Internet.
I say it started at acts of prejudice because Bartz experienced social exclusion, the article states he sat alone at lunch, nobody asked him to join. Since he was bullied that long, I will assume he got called names. Then discrimination because Bartz was a polish immigrant with an accent. His ethicinity and religion could've played a big part. The new kid with an accent is most likely to be picked on. Then it finally builds up to violence cause Bartz just got tired of everything and took his life. A classmate of Bartz says "When you think about all the things he had to go through, day after day, you really do realize that he was going through a lot of hard stuff." He posted messages on his Google+ and everyone ignored them, thought he was playing and toke it as a joke, as if no one believed him until it happened.
I agree with Jaquasia Bowman as she places social exclusion and discrimination in the area of "acts of prejudice" and analyzing the changes in his life and the suicide placing it in the category of "violence". I admire the way Jaquasia infers the possibilities of the situation to better understand the levels of hate being shone in Bart Palosz's situation.

The hate crime I chose to analyse was of three teenagers who treated their black roommate with severe racial injustice at San Jose State University. After reading the article I have decided that this event falls under numerous levels of hate, with each level leading up to the next. The racial injustice begins with extreme cases of jokes and name calling, falling under the category of "Acts of Prejudice." The roommates call the victim "Three-fifths" as a reference to African Americans being considered three-fifths of a person at one point in American history on a regular basis. They torment the victim by decorating their room with Nazi symbols, a Confederate flag, and even pictures of Adolf Hitler.
Following the acts of prejudice, the roommates are reported to have clamped a bicycle lock around the victims neck, where he later suffers minor injuries. I would then say this events falls under the obvious level of violence, not to mention horrible and unacceptable discrimination.
In response to Sung Mi I would agree the hate towards the college student by his fellow roommates falls under several categories of hate. Not only do the students torment him with hateful messages and nicknames, their racism can fall into acts of prejudice. The act with the bike lock is obliviously an act of violence. The nicknames and visuals used to torture him poked at a dehumanizing concept and shows their lack of respect and overall hateful intentions.

Leelah Alcorn committed suicide on December 28,2014 the cause being unclear. Leelah previously referred to as Joshua was a transgender teen and seemed to fit in well with school and obtain friends that accepted her as she was. Aside from her Tumblr posts of being depressed and isolated her friends didn't see any signs of an attempt at suicide. An issue occurred with Leelah's parents in which Leelah said " her parents wanted her to be their perfect little straight Christian boy" putting Leelah's predicament in "prejudiced attitudes" on the hate scale. Leelah's parents were not accepting of her sexual identity and were said to "allegedly subjecting her to conversation therapy ". Although there were no signs , Leelah's situation quickly escalated on to the level of "violence" due to the bullying and non acceptance from her parents that lead Leelah to her decision of taking her own life.
I think Leelah's friends and family should of noticed that she was depressed. Especially her parents not being their for her. And I do agree that this situation would fit best in the violence section of the pyramid. But I do feel bad for Leelah.

I think, initially, it would be more on falling under Acts Of Prejudice, as Leelah was being turned away by her parents because of her sexual identity. And resulted on escalating to Discrimination, as her parents chose not to accept and deny the way she identified herself as.

In my opinion I think this situation started with Individual Acts of Prejudice, than escalated to Bias Motivated Violence because the eighth grader committed suicide in his own school. The reporters are saying that they weren't sure if the student had talked to any administrators about any issue.
But they did mention that some teachers knew he was getting bullied. But the student haven't addressed it. In my opinion, I think the teachers should of stepped in and helped him out. They just ignored it. Which means that some teachers really don't think about the consequences of bullying. And I really think its the teachers fault for the child committing suicide.

Egypt’s protests for democracy and antigovernment movement has sparked hatred between the citizen protesters and the government’s police force. There have been acts of hatred, specifically, violent acts against the protesters. This resulted in seventeen dead and forty five wounded. This can be classified as murder and assault. In acts of retaliation there have been hate crimes back against the police, where two police officers were killed by car gun men.
The fight for democracy is a worldwide struggle as several countries citizen’s are starting to fight for their own democracy. Back in 2011 countries like Lebanon, Ivory Coast, Egypt and Tunisia began their fight, more recently Hong Kong has been protesting for their democracy. It is an elevating movement of hate towards specific governments where often the police back fire and have stronger actions of hate that escalate up the pyramid. This can be a massive hate crime in the sense large amounts of people are involved and the rate at which action happens for these movements evolves quickly.
I agree with Alyssa this article can be connected to large acts of hate happening all over the world. One thing to thing about as we move on is that can some acts of hate be justified? If it is an act of hate against something bad, is it still wrong? In this case the people of these numerous countries are fighting for they're right to have a voice in the government, which is a good thing, but is hate the way to win that fight? I do believe the are justified in their desire to have a voice in their government, but I do not believe that they are justified to commit acts of violence, such as the killing of the two police officers.I think that such great acts of hate can never be justified.

This is an extreme case of hate in which twelve people were killed for making a picture that three other people didn’t like.
This is a special situation where acts of hate were coming from both sides, one much more severe than the other. They newspaper itself started with acts of prejudice by making a cartoon that made fun of the prophet Muhammad. The three assailants responded with this even greater act of hate by massacring the twelve people. I am in no way saying that the newspaper deserved what happened to it, nor am I saying it’s they’re fault it happened.

I agree with Charles that this is an extreme case of violence any way you look at it. The Charlie Hebdo Newspaper was attacked in an unforgivable and merciless way. However, I disagree that the Charlie Hebdo Newspaper was also showing hate. They are a satirical newspaper; they're supposed to poke fun at serious issues and put them either in a humourous or thought-provoking way. They were simply trying to do their jobs, and this attack seems like one on free speech but I don't see that way. This is an incident about someone making a cartoon that someone else didn't like a arguing against it with bullets. There are plenty of ways this could've debated less hatefully, whether a calm reply to somebody's comment on a blog or even yelling really loudly in public about your opinion on the matter.
Then again, I don't practice Islam, so perhaps there is something in the religion that states that you should butcher any and all people that even think about Islam and anything that represents Islam in a negative way, but I doubt that is the case. Sorry to tell you folks, but you're not going to agree with everything you see, but that doesn't mean that you have to respond with atrocious actions.

This act would fall under “Acts of Prejudice,” in the beginning, then later on end at “Violence.” In the article, “The man told police people inside the car shouted sexual insults and racial slurs.” This shows that they were starting under “Acts of Prejudice,” because they were name-calling and belittling him just because he was homosexual. This later on escalated to “Violence,” when, “the victim was struck several times and suffered cuts and bruises.” The teenagers started actually assaulting the man with pellet guns, causing multiple injuries. Although the violence did not lead to murder, it did leave the victim injured, therefore falling under the “Violence,” level.

The article I chose talks about Leelah Alcorn who committed suicide because she felt like she could never face the world as a transgender person due to being told how what she felt was wrong by her parents. Her parents today refuse to call her by her preferred name Leelah and instead use the name Josh. This falls under acts of prejudice because in Leelah's suicide note, to which she posted on the blogging site Tumblr, she mentions how her parents made her life miserable and tried to force her to live up to be a perfect straight christian boy. They reportedly sent Leelah to conversion camp which are known to be quite tramautic in hopes of her coming back as that interpretation they had of a perfect christian boy. They were completely unaccepting of their daughter . When Leelah came out to her mother about being transgender , her mom's reaction was that it was a phase, that Leelah would never truly be a girl, that God doesn’t make mistakes, that she was wrong. That is a horrible thing to say to your child despite your conservative beliefs. If you aren't willing to accept your child for who they are then maybe you shouldn't be a parent. It is awful that Leelah had to deal with such negativity from her parents. No one gets to choose how they feel. It isn't like she woke up and automatically said " I want to be transgender", she felt like a girl and she should not be penalized for how she feels. If someone was born a girl but feels like a guy and prefers to be called something masculine rather than their birth name , respect that. If someone was born a boy but feels like a girl and prefers be called something feminine rather than their birth name, respect that. If someone doesn't use or identify with a gender, respect that.

DeleteInteresting article story! Where would you place this on the pyramid? I would place this in "The Acts of Prejudice" spot on the pyramid because Leelah's own parents were socially excluding her by not calling her the female name that she liked. Sending her to the conversion camp also showed an act of discrimination of her sexual orienatation or gender. I agree with you that even if you have certain beliefs that don't agree with something your child's chooses or etc you should still love your child for who they are and accept them instead of showing acts of prejudice or discrimination.

The article I chose is about a gay couple who was allegedly kicked off of a public bus after the driver had saw them kissing. I would place this under Individual Acts Of Prejudice because what the driver did was bullying. The driver verbally attacked the gay couple and made the harsh staement " You are not real men for kissing F*** Off " .
I agree with ziomaly bullying should definitely be put to an end by the teachers or administrators that at any moment notice and type of attack on a student. I think that they should make it a priority to stop any type of abuse that goes on in any school because more kids are taking their lives thinking that death is easier than living. More people should try to make a change .

I would say that this article goes under Individual Acts of Prejudice in the pyramid of hate. I say this because he was being picked on because of his race and they called him gay. He wasn't actually gay but people made assumptions of him being gay, they would say that when he was at the changing rooms he would stare at the other guys. This name calling went through for about a year but I honestly think it was his fault since he wouldn't speak up. He realized too late that speaking up was going to be the only solution for his problem.
I agree that this article falls under the "Acts of Prejudice" because boy was being called names like "faggot." They also made jokes and compared him to Gandhi because of the color of his skin.
DeleteI agree that this goes under "Individual Acts of Prejudice," but it could also fall under "Discrimination" because these kids were harassing the boy due to his assumed sexual preference, and his nationality. They were teasing him for almost a year which is also considered harassing. But I do disagree with you when it came to your comment of "it was his fault since he wouldn't speak up." The boy getting picked up probably didn't speak up because if he did, he knew that it wouldn't stop anything, and that it would give the kids more of a reason to keep on antagonizing him. You have to put yourself in the victim's shoes as well and think about his motives for not speaking up.

The article that I read called "The Ugly Truth About Age Discrimination" by Liz Ryan falls into the category of discrimination on the pyramid. The article explains how it is hard for people who are elders or older 40 to get a job all because of their old age. "I expect that's because some employers believe that older workers aren't as nimble or perhaps aren't as easy to train. Some of them undoubtedly worry that an older person is necessarily overqualified and thus likely to bolt the minute a better job comes along." Basically this is employment discrimination against older people and the fact that they might not work well with younger people's way of thinking and technology savvy jobs today. "It's the only kind of employment discrimination I know that people talk about openly, either because they're unaware of the laws preventing it( in the U.S. you're supposed to be protected from age discrimination once you're 40 years old.) Even though it might not seem like a big deal, age discrimination or employment discrimination is a big deal and should be seen and put as illegal and unlawful. Many employers and workers see it as a dislike or opinion, but that older person could see it like a sign of hate and discrimination. It is our job to demolish discrimination as humanly possible whether it's disrimination of age, sex, color, gender, and religion. What if you are an employer who has an older employee? What if you turn out to be that older employee on the job?
Clio Bate
DeleteI agree with what you said. I believe that is very important that age discrimination is recognized. Many people don't consider this issue very important, but I believe that everyone should be able to get the same opportunities no matter their age. Many people were getting laid off because of the poor job economy(that is now getting better), some because of their age, and some not. Some of the older people had a difficult time finding new jobs to support themselves and their families simply because of their age. This is not fair to them. They might be perfectly just as capable, even in some cases more capable than some of the younger hires. But they are not being hired because of their age.

In this article, students wrapped up a kid in plastic wrap and put him feet first into a toilet. They then brought him back to class and continued to toy with him. He tried to hop, because his legs and arms were wrapped, but lost his balance and hit his throat on the teachers desk. The fall caused the kid to crush his throat and eventually die in the hospital. The worst thing about this is that the teacher was present the entire time and didn't do anything about it, just sat there and watched. My only question is why? What is more important than the students' safety? I believe the teacher is just as much responsible for this as the bullies are. This goes under violence on the pyramid of hate because they assaulted him by putting his feet in a toilet after they wrapped him in plastic. Also, he died when he fell so you can say murdered as well.
I strongly agree with you that this event falls under the violence category in the pyramid of hate, the fact that the teacher didn't even say anything or attempt to stop the situation really shows how much of a careless person he/she is.

In this video, it basically shows what the world would be like if being "gay" was the norm and being "straight" was the minority. Meaning instead of being bullied or taunted for liking the same sex, you'd be judged for being heterosexual. This situation would best fit into the "violence" category of the hate pyramid.
To begin, Ashely was being harassed over text for being heterosexual. She received text from other students saying "Ashley does it with boys" or "no one likes you." Girls inboxed her saying "you're sooooo gross" and posted pictures of her captioned it "you deserve to die." These are all examples of being assaulted. Also , all the kids ganged up on her and threatened to beat her up. When she refused to admit to being a "hetero", they all beat her. In the end, she commits suicide.

Kayla I stronly agree with you. Considering the fact I already saw the video I think it was very much ironic that the world were reversed. It also gave everyone a chance to see how bullying is bullying no matter what cause it is. I also strongly agree that this video belongs under violence. I say this because by the little kids getting into a whole group threating, and forcing her to answer all questions they asked is violating. They were secretly assaulting her at that. The jumped and beat all over her, which was never really necessary. All hate is unnecessary, it occurs too much, and escalates to unnecessary problems which is exactly why I strongly agree with you.

In this article, it shows a 3 year old girl being bullied by two 5 year olds. The toddler is on her plastic bike wanting to play with them. The two girls come up to her and says things to her. They grab her hand and say, "Why are you hitting yourself?" The toddler starts to cry out loud and the children leave. Later on, the toddler stops crying and tries to hand the girls a toy she wants to share with them. They grab it and throw it the ground. They end the video with the girls pushing the toddler to the ground.
I think this lies under "Acts of Prejudice". The girls are bullying her; saying "...you ugly." They laugh at her and taunt her. The toddler isn't hitting back. Instead she tries to share her toy with them despite the fact that they were name calling her and hitting her. One of the boys who are recording (much older than them) says, "Watch me beat up this little kid." Instead of the boys helping the toddler they just record and tell the bullies what to do next. They lead the bullies on and laugh at everything that is going on.

I agree with you because, what the kids were doing was wrong. I think that the otlder boy should of stepped in and helped the girl out because, in my eyes that's wrong , I would never just sit around and watch someone get bullied and not stand up for them. I also agree with the part where you say the boys laughter led the bullies on. That always is the case,most people will bully others only because, of the people around them.

In this article I read about a french bakery who would not let men work at the counters of their store or would not hire a person if they were black. This article would go under the category of discrimination. It was an employment discrimination. They would not hire a young black woman just because the color of her skin. “I can’t hire you because you’re black,” Jamilah DaCosta, 25, said she heard when she applied for a job working the counter at the cozy French bake shop. That is what the co-owner of the french back shop said to the young woman. She was discriminating because of the color of her skin. They said that she would scare off the customers and that they could not hire her to work as a counter girl. They also would not hire men to work for them, they only wanted woman to work at the counter. It specifically said “counter girl” on their ad on Craigslist. That is harassment. They would not hire men because of their gender.

In the article I chose, three 8th grade students were expelled from their school in Ilocos Norte, Philippines, after they were discovered speaking their native language, Ilokano. They were each sent a letter home, in which the school's president, Reverand Brian Shah, advised their parents to relocate them into different schools. This was done in efforts of keeping the school's strict policy of "English-only" in effect.
After reading the article, I think that it would fit most appropriately between Acts of Prejudice and Discrimination, but more leaning toward Discrimination. I think that it would best fit under Educational Discrimination because they were being denied the right to their education solely for the fact that they were speaking their own native language on school grounds. They had as much as a right to speak their own language as any other student did enrolled in the school. The schools policy not only may be considered as offensive to many, but also infringes a person's right to Freedom Of Speech (in the Philippines).
Hello Yareim,
DeleteInteresting article you have here. I find it ignorant that those 3 young boys were being expelled from their school simply for speaking their native language. What I find most ironic about this article is that the boys were speaking Ilokano, the 3rd most spoken language in the Philippines. I do agree with you on the fact that they do have their right to speak their own language specially since they have the right to Freedom Of Speech. I also agree that discrimination is where this article perfectly fits, the boys were being denied the right to education only for speaking a language that they were comfortable speaking with each other.
Yarim and Victor-
DeleteI strongly agree with both of you. When I heard this story originally I was beyond furious. The discrimination by the school ministry in this case infringes strongly on a basic human right, and the fact that education was compromised due to what language was spoken in certain instances by these kids very much classifies as discrimination; educational discriminations specifically, as you mentioned Yarim. I also have to say I appreciate how thorough your response is and how you effectively explained your reasoning fully and elaborated on the background of your topic, to both Yarim and Victor.

- The article that I chose falls under the "Discrimination" level on the Pyramid of Hate. The reason why my article fits well into the "Discrimination" level is because of one of the bullets under that level which is "Employment discrimination." The article talks about how a Muslim women was not allowed to work at the american retailer 'Abercrombie & Fitch' in Tusla because she wore a headscarf commonly known as a 'hijab'. The 'hijab' was said to be a violation of Abercrombie & Fitch "look Policy." This women was being discriminated against and was not given the opportunity to work at the retailer simply because she followed her religious traditions.
Abercrombie & Fitch has had multiple discrimination cases, one in particular that occurred in California where a judge ruled that an Islamic women had been fired from Abercrombie & Fitch because she refused to take off her hijab at work. The retailer soon after decided to change their "look policy" to permit the use of hijab regardless of the reason. Im guessing they probably thought "Yea this policy might be discrimination to a group of people, lets make it fair."
Hi Victor, I do agree with you placing this incident under the ‘discrimination’ category in the hate pyramid because no one should be penalized or treated differently because of their religious ways. People have a right to do whatever they want regarding their religion and others including jobs 'look policies' should be courteous and understanding of that. I’m glad that the retailer decided to change their look policy and realized that their first policy was wrong and discriminating to anyone who wears a hijab.

In this article it discussed how a boy named Josh Alcorn decided he wanted to become a girl. He came out one day in a Facebook post to tell everyone how he felt, he no longer wanted to be Josh Alcorn he wanted to be called Leelah Alcorn. "After 10 years of confusion I finally understood who I was. I immediately told my mom, and she reacted extremely negatively, telling me that it was a phase, that I would never truly be a girl, that God doesn't make mistakes, that I am wrong.” Her mom didn't support her decision and tried to do anything to change her mind. "My mom started taking me to a therapist, but would only take me to Christian therapists, (who were all very biased) so I never actually got the therapy I needed to cure me of my depression." Leelah eventually couldn't take it anymore and wrote a suicide note and posted it to Tumblr, blaming her parents for everything they did wrong and later committed suicide.
I would place this event in between the discrimination category and the bias-motivated violence category. This event shows discrimination because Leelahs parents wouldn't support her because of her personal gender preference. They said that their Christian religion didn’t except transgender people and they agreed with that non acceptance. I think that definitely shows Leelahs parents discriminating anyone whose transgender, wants to change their gender or LGBT in general including their own son.

This news article is about a gay couple in London who were thrown off the bus by the bus driver for kissing. The bus driver got angry because of “James' partner pecking James on the lips.” The bus drivers reaction is an example of acts of discrimination. After he saw the kiss he “shouted”, “‘Oi, you two, don’t do that on my fucking bus or you can get off, I don’t want to watch that,'". This man would not allow this gay couple to ride the bus because he thought it was “disgusting”. This is a perfect example of discrimination. He even said to the couple, “...it’s my bus, it is my rules, and I don’t want to watch that. It’s disgusting. Get off the bus...'”
I feel like they did not deserve this treatment for what they did. Some people are a lot more affectionate in public to the point where it’s disgusting (far past a peck on the lips). What they did was a simple peck on the lips. I don’t think that it was right what he did at all.

I chose to write on a fairly recent attack (November 2014) assumed to have been carried out by the militant terrorist group Boko Haram, in which a Mosque in Nigeria was bombed during Friday prayer. The attack resulted in 60 Muslim casualties and consisted of well organized bombing and shooting to match up with a time when the maximum number of people would be present. This attack falls under violence in the hate pyramid, as the intention was to kill those present in the mosque. Specific to the section of the pyramid “Violence”, this is terrorism, murder, and desecration; all of the blocks leading up to violence have to have been filled.
I would also like to point out that “hate crime” is as specific a term as “genocide” is and not all of the previous articles depict a hate crime. Gay bashings are hate crimes; not all bullying instances are hate crimes.

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/07/nyregion/man-injured-in-gay-bias-attack-in-greenwich-village.html?_r=0
This news article is based on an “anti-gay” act that happened nearly a year ago in New York on a subway platform. It involved a couple of two men, and another man that they didn't even know. According to the article, the couple was waiting there on the platform when this man approached them asking if they were gay.The couple just ignored the man, but he then started to make belittling remarks concerning homosexuals. It is then said, in the article, that this man punched one of the men and ran off.
I would categorize this act under, not only one level of hate, but under various. It started off as “Individual Acts of Prejudice” but then escalated to “Bias-Motivated Violence.” This man had no reason to go up to this couple and ask them if they were gay, especially because they were complete strangers, then his vulgar remarks toward the LGBT community were completely unnecessary. The man was basically bullying the couple because of their sexual preferences, which shouldn't concern him at all. But then this man punched one of them, a 39 year old from New Jersey, and he was left with a broken nose, a fractured orbital bone, and a cut above his eye that required stitches. He assaulted this man and used violence towards the couple because he knew, or assumed that they were gay, which he clearly had a problem with.
Iriana, I agree with your statements 100%. It is very sad that someone would go out of their way to harass a happy couple, then assault one of them. In particular, I agree that this act falls under various categories. In my opinion it could be listed under all except for genocide. Maybe something has occurred in the the man's life to hate others so much, but either way it is still not an excuse for him to harm anyone.

I think that this type of hate was an individual act of prejudice because a lot of people picked on her. I don’t think it was any higher on the Pyramid of Hate to begin with because her friends didn’t turn on her. It would have started on a higher tier of the Pyramid of Hate if everyone in the school bullied her, but she said her best friend had kept her from doing anything stupid.Then it turned into discrimination when she got bullied for six years and people were exploiting her problems.

This story saddens my heart because children should be able to attend school and not feel unprotected. Seven-year-old Keyaan has been bullied for 2 years, and it does not seem to be stopping anytime soon. Keyaan's mother has filed complaints with the school, but nothing seems to be changing. Fauziya could no longer bear the fact that she was sending her son to an environment where he could not protect himself, so she is temporarily taking him out of school until an alternative school is found.
This predicament falls under the category of bias-motivated violence. Kayaan has been coming home with swollen eyes given to him by classmates and he is not defending himself, he is also being threatened by his peers. This situation is tragic and happens way too often, and not just in school. At first, the situation seems like it would fall under the category of individual acts of prejudice due to the bullying that has been going on, but the situation is much more severe than that.

A group of nonviolent students led a march with Dr. Martin Luther King and countless other civil rights activist. In the pursuit for African Americans rights to vote. So after a protester Jimmy Lee Jackson was shot by Alabama officer. A march wass scheduled for March 7.600 protesters led by John Lewis gathered in Selma anxiously waiting to cross the Edmund Pettus Bridge. They were greeted by a sea of officers.After they refused to leave the troopers shot and brutally attacked the peaceful protesters with clubs barb wire gas and much more. Hospitilizing over 50 people. "Bloody Sunday" was broadcasted all over the world and a wave of horror was in the air. This fits under all these acts of hate because, innocent people were attacked and hurt over the right to vote. It all stemed from hate ,in my opinion. I say this becasue White people hated African Americans so much and wanted to keep us from progress so they were willing to do everything possible to do it.

This article details the reaction of a black man to the tragic murder of Michael Brown on August 9, 2014. He specifically details the way in which the media portrays Brown. The articles are titled things like, "Police Kill College-Bound Kid". The article goes on to explain how the emphasis on Brown's bright future is almost an apology for the fact that he is a young black man, and how it doesn't matter whether Michael Brown was on the honor roll or a dropout: he was an unarmed kid either way. The murder of Michael Brown of course falls under the violence segment of the pyramid, but this particular issue fits into the prejudiced attitudes segment. These media outlets are, often unknowingly, making it easier for stereotypes and prejudice to exist against black people, by making excuses for racism. By emphasizing, endlessly, Michael Brown's "good-ness", the death of a troubled black kid becomes less tragic.

On March 2, around 12:30 a.m a brutal assault took place at Greenwich Village subway platform in New York. Reporters say J.P Masterson and his partner were currently a homosexual couple, being attacked for their sexuality. As soon as the suspect came in contact with them they assumed that he needed assistance, but suddenly and unexpectedly the suspect started attacking J.P. Masterson. The suspect also stated surprising unexpected words such as: "I f***ing hate faggots", leaving J.P with a broken nose & fractured eye socket. After the incident occured J.P said he was disappointed because not a single person on the platform came to rescue, but satisfied that he was able to give a complete description on the late 20 year old man.
Therefore I honestly think this story falls under violence. I say this story falls under violence because this was a severe assault, which could have turned out to be a major deadly murder for no apparent reason whatsoever. This act of violence is in fact a crime and shall handled directly with charge of aggravated assault. Until tables turn and the suspect gets found, J.P suffers from a broken nose & fractured eye socket, still currently happily with the love of his life, and unforgettable memories of March 2, around 12:30 a.m.

Although both men were charged and convicted of assault and menacing as a hate crime I believe that this event would be placed in the violence level in the pyramid of hate because both men attacked the trooper just because of his race, nothing was done to the two white men to cause them to do this type of discrimination/violence which is something I can’t even imagine why a person must do this.
