Blog #7 Cause and Effect

In my experience my appearance effects a lot of people. Some people may see how tall I am and instantly be intimidated by me. They think that I am a bad guy or someone that is going to hurt them at any moment in time. The simple truth is that it is hard for me to ever imagine hurting someone, I do not think that I would intentionally do that. I do not even want to destroy someones confidence by being rude to them. I have also seen how I have thought of people differently because of appearance. You will see someone with a black hoodie on and black pants and people are sometimes instantly afraid that they are a mugger, a gangster, or someone that will do harm. The simple truth could be that they were cold. 

With the example of the 9/11 attacks, the effect is that there are some people that will never look at Muslims the same again. There are people that will not see them as who they are but think of what had happened and think that everyone in their religion will do that. This has made an effect that has changed peoples minds forever. The appearance of some can have a big change on peoples minds, but it doesn't mean that it should be that way. We can learn to not look at the appearance and judge or judge from the little bit of knowledge that we have but for some it may take time to learn.
