Upholding social justice won’t occur if it’s applied to one person and only will occur if it’s directed towards a society of people. In seeking to uphold social justice is to stand up for justice in basic rights and fight for equality for all. Gladwell’s view is Atticus does not uphold social justice because he’s not a civil rights activist.

Body 2: Similarly‚ the concept of thin-slicing has its disadvantages because it proves that people are “really vulnerable to being guided by stereotypes‚”(Gladwell‚ 233). This holds true in cases often regarding race. For example‚ prior to the school integration of white and black children in the late 1950’s‚

Introduction: In 1980‚ Social psychologist Greet Hofstede has developed “Cultural Dimension Theory” using the huge data collected from 117‚000 IBM employees during 1967 to 1973.
