Do you think that just black people are on section 8, If so why?

Q: Ok, I know a lot of people are extremely opinionated about government assistance and the type of people they believe are on them. My situation is as follows I have a son and I am in school full time and I work part time. I am studying to become an RN. I really would like to move out, I currently live with my mother. I would prefer not to work full time right now b/c school, work and trying to raise a toddler, plus studying hard I don’t know if I would have time. What my question is, is why do people have such a problem with people on food stamps or section 8 ? And why do people assume or from what I have heard that the only people that get it are poor black people? Also can you get someone to accept section 8 if they currently do not b/c I do not want to live in a section 8 area, they don’t all seem well taken care of. I don’t receive any assistance but I almost don’t want to b/c I dont want to be judged or looked down on. I have thought about it to get a start and then when I get out of school, I will not need it. I just don’t want to be looked at as one of “those people”, that’s how I feel they are seen as. Black people are not the only ones on these programs and especially not all blacks. Whites, Mexicans all races are on this type of assistance. So, why is it tht ppl say it’s just blacks or ghetto people? I am black and it almost makes me embarrassed to even think about trying to get any gov’t assistance just because of the way that it is portrayed.

A: I believe with our society being such a big melting pot its slowly changing in statistics all the time. I see more refugees receiving government assistance more than Americans that live or were born in America. I don’t think you should worry about the race card anymore… Things are changing and it differs from different cities; neighborhoods… you know various section 8s.. The only thing not to do is take advantage of government assistance and start relying it too much regardless of color; religion; yadayada..I’m not sure where you live but there are areas where they offer subsidized housing or low income/no income housing on “scattered sites”. If I were you I would research into it; see if your eligible to rent a duplex; house and have it subsized. Sometimes rent can go as low as 5 dollars while you’re buliding yourself up or showing progress you are attending school and they may even offer free daycare. So you don’t necessarily have to live amongst a community where its ALL section 8 around you.It really depends where you’re at. Its general assistance to the low income. Don’t feel bad… there’s an inevitable stratification ladder that will always be there when there isn’t equality amongst a society.

What does being on section 8 have to do with not handling your responsibilities???

A: I don’t know about the kind of people that get Section 8, but all I know is that I don’t want to pay taxes to people who can’t handle their responsibilities.

Can you please proofread my essay, thanks a bunch.?

Q: There are approximately 6,602,224,175 individuals inhabiting our planet today and hundreds if not thousands of distinct cultures. So, why is it that people choose to stereotype, undoubtedly fitting countless people in groups in which they do not belong? Face it, everyone uses stereotype. Some of these stereotypes may be positive towards a group, whereas others are put down on certain groups of people. For Instance, Irish people are known as drunks, Asians are the smart ones in school, Blacks are athletics, Caucasians can’t dance, Mexicans are gardeners, Arabians work at 7-elevan, and Indians are poor taxi drivers or rich doctors with a stay at home wife and 4 whiney kids. For some people all these stereotypes may have started at one point in their lives a long time ago, and now it becomes apart of society. People cannot deny that they have never stereotyped another group, because even at a time when they consciously do not know they are saying it, in reality they are. Some people use stereotyping for entertainment and joke about it, while others use it to hurt someone. It doesn’t matter what you stereotype against, all stereotyping has serious repercussions. Stereotyping promotes ethnocentrism, narrow-mindedness, and bad feelings. Ethnocentrism refers to judging the world in terms of the values and knowledge of your own culture exclusively. It’s really annoying when you think your culture makes you “special”, or that since you are in the majority culture, majority cultures should try to act more like you. In Canada, we are multicultural. So we are supposed to accept and respect people of different cultures, creeds, colors, etc. because it’s this diversity that makes us stronger, makes us a great nation. But sometimes ethnicity can set people apart, or more so foster a ‘Canada vs. Them’ mentality. Obviously, it’s not hard to see that Ethnocentrism has negative affects everybody. If you judge a strange culture you’ve just come in contact with based on your values and beliefs, you could run into the danger of indirectly creating generalizations and stereotypes of those people because you would feel superior to them, when in fact, they are just like you, although, they might do things a bit different. At its worst, Ethnocentrism has led people to commit the destruction of cultures, and genocide, the destruction of entire populations. This happened, for example, to Jews living in Nazi Germany in the 1940s. Cultural narrow-mindedness is when people tend to label a certain characteristic on groups such as race. Let’s say you’re a black guy. Would it be right if I said “all black guys shoot people”? No, that’s just not right, because not all black people carry around guns, simple as that. What if a black man applies for a job and their boss refuses to hire him because he heard the stereotype that all black men shoot people, when, in fact, that man has 2 straight A kids, a loving successful wife, and volunteers at a homeless shelter everyday to help people. This is why stereotypes are narrow-minded. Once you’ve heard that all black people shoot people, you might go around believing that and never be able to trust a black person. Every culture has its own little traits that are simply a part of their basic manners. It is the exaggeration of those traits that make stereotyping hateful and stupid. Thus, promoting narrow-mindedness. For instance, Bigots take a little piece of some other culture, blow it out of proportion, and cause it to appear as foolish, greedy or even socially unacceptable, because it is something they hate. Stereotype at many times is used to hurt feelings. Stereotypes lump people into a group and take away their individuality. Their unique talents are negated and they are attributed with qualities they may or may not have. For example, if you have a job applicant come in, and let us says he is African American. You have seen a lot of gang related stories on the news and in the movies that show African Americans involved in gangs, and even though the applicant is dressed appropriately, you decide to circular file his application. Basically, you would be giving this person an unfair evaluation solely based on his/her personal thoughts and beliefs. When we are grouped or judged by race, gender or cultural heritage, it often makes us feel as if we are no longer people. Racial profiling is one of the worst ways a person can be hurt by stereotyping. Racial profiling takes away one’s dignity, it abuses our civil rights. The fact that the world is an unsafe place and we are at war in the Middle East does not justify stereotyping people based on the fact that they appear Arab or have a darker skin colour. It has hurt many Arab-Americans in the wake of 911. For instance, many Arab-Americans were and continue to be detained without just cause, simply because they have been stereotyped and wrongly labeled. This stereotyping has destroyed families and lives. The government justifies it as the “war on terror.” I see it as an abuse of power. Since the beginning of mankind, stereotyping has just been a normal nature of humanity. Or am I just being stereotypical? Stereotyping should be humorous, and taken with a grain of salt, and should not be removed from our lives, because it is a thing that helps us all to see and to realize that people are different, and unique. You may act as though you don’t see or notice a difference between nationalities, and colors of skin, but you would be lying to yourself, and creating a false environment for your children. People are different. Always have been, always will be. It’s interesting, fun, humorous, and delightful, and those differences should be embraced, and nurtured. They shouldn’t be ignored, because if you can’t see what attempting to make all people the same has done to society today, perhaps you should begin to observe the repercussions that exist now, because of the so-called “liberal-mindedness” that is so common among those who have never been anywhere outside of their own living rooms. Travel, and learn from those other cultures. Listen to them, and laugh about your differences, and poke fun at one-another. There is absolutely nothing wrong with making good fun of your friends, and allowing them to do the same to you.

A: I’m sorry I can’t help more, but this is just too, too long to ask anyone to proofread it for you. You should at least use Microsoft Word’s spell checker, because you have many misspellings. Try breaking up the paragraphs; they are too long and contain too many ideas. Then, maybe ask us to proofread a shorter paragraph.
