Programmed and Labeled for Life Here it is, college, a new stroll down the pathway of life. This should be an opportunity to show more of which we are.

Although prejudice often finds consolation in debatable biological evidence, it is the product of stereotypes and general oversimplified ideas about an individual or group of people. The level of discrimination varies, and often comes in different forms.

On one hand, these individuals must try to manage the symptoms that arise with their disease. Mental health disorders can affect the way individuals perform at their jobs, their social life, and even being able to live alone (Corrigan Penn, 1997). On the other hand, the way society tends to view mental illnesses leads to stigmaRead MoreRacial Profiling and the African American Male1808 Words   |  8 Pagesfigure, especially if you are a male. The intersection of race and gender for the African American male provides a basis for premature judgment by many authoritative figures in their lives.
