Prejudice Answer the following questions in 100 to 200 words each. Provide citations for all the sources you use. • What is ageism? How does ageism influence the presence of diversity in society?

...However, Max is blind to such concepts as respect toward one’s superiors; they simply do not exist in his world. Instead he speaks to teachers and authority figures as if they’re his equals “by reconciling the poles of the contradiction so that both are simultaneously teachers and students” (Freire 72). This method is a crucial piece of the “problem-posing education system.” Freire says that despite the banking concept’s method of teacher only teaching the students, the problem posing education asserts that “The teacher . . . is himself taught in dialogue with the students, who in turn while being taught also teach” (80). Max demonstrates this ideal throughout the whole film, especially with regards to certain adults such as Mr. Blume, Ms. Cross, Dr. Guggenheim...

...I’ve become quite the night-owl my last nightmare being that of a monster looking at me had lion eyes. They were gleaming with spite. His voice was hollow as he spoke with flattery, trying to lure me into his lair. His floppy ears were enormous. They matched his vulturous nose. Grimy hair plastered his fierce face. He sneered at me when I took a step back. His caveman’s shoulders flexed once before he charged at me. With the stripping away of basic civil rights for the middle class homes, hospitals, and schools were ransacked, as a mob of people demolished buildings with axes and sledgehammers. This act of violence triggered looting, arson, mass murder, state terrorism, unreasonable arrests. Swarms of kids from Niparex, soldiers from Voxare, and people roaming the...

...The Garuda Purana This is a translation of an abridged version of the Garuda Purana. The Garuda Purana is one of the Vishnu Puranas. It is in the form of a dialog between Vishnu and Garuda, the King of Birds. The second section of this Purana (given here) deals with issues connected with death, particularly funeral rites and the metaphysics of reincarnation. Portions of the Garuda Purana are used by some Hindus as funeral liturgy. Indeed, some consider it unlucky to read this text except during funerals. Of interest are the intermediate states between birth and rebirth, which roughly correspond to the western concepts of Hell and Heaven. Since this was written during the medieval era, it is possible that the writer of this text had contact with Christianity. Earlier Hindu texts do not elaborate about 'hell' and 'heaven,' at least not to this extent, and the subject is completely absent in the oldest texts. Here, the torments of Hell are described in terms that would not be out of place in a Baptist revival tent (or Dante, for that matter). In addition, the four-square city of Yama, the God of Death, is reminiscent of the heavenly city in Revelation. However, these are way stations between incarnations (or, as termed in the Tibetan Book of the Dead, Bardos), not a permanent destination. The Garuda Purana starts with the details of the afterlife. Following this is an account of funeral procedures, including rituals, the astrological timing of the post-death observances, and ritual...
