Ben Carson's Stereotypes
On Monday, November 9th an article from the New York Times was published about Ben Carson. As many are aware, Ben Carson is running for the 2016 Presidential election. Mr. Carson is a devote Christian and the first surgeon to separate conjoined twins. From the article that was published, the writer Charles M. Blow wrote about the different lies that Ben Carson has been caught in lately. The first lie that Ben Carson was accused of was that he claimed that he had received a “full scholarship” from West Point. Unfortunately, Mr. Carson never actually applied; therefore, he was not granted admission from the university. Another example was told in his autobiography, “Gifted Hands.” Mr. Carson claimed that when he was at Yale University he took a class called Perceptions 301. On the final exam paper for the class, all the students were required to retake the exam, because of a fire that burned the initial exams. Reporters were able to find information from the Yale Liberian Claryn Spies stating that there was never a class called Perceptions 301. Stating all of these facts make many conservatives worried about future lies that Mr. Carson will tell America and the public during his presidential election campaign. …show more content…
Carson’s incident when he tried to stab a friend. During an interview, all nine of his friends claimed that this incident never occurred. The tenth person said that he has no recall of the information and thought it could have been a rumor. In this article, “Ben Carson and the Truth,” Ben Carson has been accused of lying in several situations. As a conservative, the Republican Party should watch Mr. Carson carefully and examine his arguments for any false

    Bernie Sanders has lead the poll in New Hampshire and Iowa, according to CBS News polls Sanders has surpassed Clinton by 10% in Iowa, and 22% in New Hampshire. He claims to be a Democratic socialist, for some that’s a red flag in this “self-made” society. But apparently this is not the case anymore. There has been a lack of belief towards Sanders, even though he shows leading the polls, people believe he won’t make it to the White House. Although, Sanders supporters are extremely enthusiastic, with all the media focusing on Clinton and Trump, Sanders has made himself a symbol for the American people. He is not extremely wealthy unlike Clinton and Trump, and he is not accepting super PAC. In other words, he is competing against millionaires…

    I believe that with the upcoming presidential election we have viewed many public speakers using ethical wrongs within their speaking presentations. We have seen presidential candidates and supports present fact to the public that may not be properly research or only half truth. By committing beguilement they are persuading there audience to believe what they feel the truth is. We have also seen many be every deceitful, speaking on fact that they know are not true. When public speakers are deceitful in the information they are presenting they are cheating their audiences out of forming their own true option on the facts. When you look at the ad 's and the speeches that are presented to the public when it comes to presidential candidates lying seem to be used the most. When these men and women stand before us knowing what they are saying is not true they are being deceitful. I believe that when you lie, you lose credibility and people doubt any information you present, Whether it be the truth or not. When we see public speakers discrediting or make false accusations about people or events they are bearing false witness.…

    In the article I read was about when people lie and how at times it could be the right thing to do in certain times and how some people might view it as the wrong thing to do even if it is for a good reason. We see every day that people who are in power or famous lie about something so simple that it ends up destroying their career or even ruin their lives at home. An example of this from the reading is when Ross Perot lied about not going into the people who worked with him private life. Ross did not have to lie about going into people’s private life knowing that someone would eventually find out the truth. Even though people probably did not care about what he did because people in his position always tell a lie or scheme their way into…

    There’s an old saying by Eleanor Roosevelt that states “You can never really live anyone else's life, not even your child's. The influence you exert is through your own life, and what you've become yourself.” I believe this statement is true. However, what Eleanor Roosevelt fails to mention was who, or what kind of people come into our lives and influence us to change for the better. Do these particular individuals shape our paths, or our futures? Or when these people come into our lives is it meant to happen for a reason? No one knows for sure, but when we meet someone who leaves such a profound effect on our hearts and minds, like foot prints in the sand we remember them forever. Ben Carson always mentions that his mother helped shaped his life, as well as his family, students, teachers, his strong belief in god, and his love for books helped shaped his future. Throughout middle school, high school and college these key influences would lead him to what he has become today.…

    Today, some may argue that we at the dawn of a new emerging Progressive Era. Most historians cite the Progressive Era as the period between 1890-1920. The United States saw massive industrialization, paradigm changing inventions such as electricity, the telephone, and automobile, but also extensive activism in social change and political reform. Walter Lippmann wrote Public Opinion in the twilight of the Progressive Era. In chapters, eight and nine, Lippmann explores the idea of “progress” in terms of stereotypes and addresses the “blind spot” inherent of all stereotypes. He delves deep into the multifaceted relationship of moral codes with how they relate to stereotypes and the facts.…

    This is one of the quotes that has made Donald Trump gain so much attention and fame in the last two months. Why? Because he is stereotyping the Latin American race. Unfortunately, Mr. Trump is not the only person in the world to stereotype against the Latin American race. Many people around the world may assume that the Latin American race is all about the spicy food, the distinct mariachi music, and the clothes, and the language. In the United States, the stereotype that many people have against us have changed over time. Now, it’s that we only work as carpenters, lawn mowers, restaurants, and any other type of leftover job that other people do not want; and we all know what Donald Trump’s stereotypes of Latin Americans are: drug dealers,…

    Ethical Misrepresentation

    Many may argue that her decision to keep her secret went against her morals and was not an ethical misrepresentation. She made a poor moral decision when she falsified her resume but went on to have a truly successful career. Perhaps dismissing her actions at the University and letting her keep the position would have been a solution. She admitted, “I misrepresented my academic degrees when I first applied to M.I.T. 28 years ago and did not have the courage to correct my résumé when I applied for my current job or at any time since” (Lewin, 2007). She resigned from the University on April 27, 20007 after her academic credentials became a conversation about the truth. People struggle with ethic misrepresentation; they do not feel it is lying. “Misrepresentation is distinct from lying because it is an embellishment of true facts, which partially explains its morally uncertain status” (Weber, 2009). She falsified her accomplishments when applying originally with no malicious intent, not thinking about how the University and Community would be deceived if they ever discovered her actions. “This was not just any lie. It was a lie in the very area in which Jones' job requires her to expect the truth” (Kinsley, 2007). Each person is given a responsibility, and we are to be “faithful” in that trust. According to the Bible, 1 Corinthians 4:2: "Now it is…

    The Northwestern University states has a new idea on the racial-ethnic achievement gap. In their article “Do race-based stressors contribute to the achievement gap?” they introduce these ideas.
