r own feelings and preying for the clock to speed up; or you can step out of that prison and embrace this chance of a lifetime。 Before our camp; peace was to me like the Pyramid of Egypt; a concept to often mentioned; but rarely seen。 Here; I am fortunate enough to h*e witnessed both。”

First; there was silence。 Then thunderous applause erupted from every corner of the room; cheers and yells shot up like fireworks。 Grinning; I walked down stage and handed the microphone over to our leader; Barbara Capozzi; who asked me two times without realizing; whether I had prepared for this speech。 I replied negative; and she responded with a bear hug; breaking all my ribs and promising me that this “open mike session” would from now on bee a tradition of the Peace Camp。 。。

西天取经(8)

As I walked back to my seat; people looked at me with expressions Columbus would h*e held when he saw continents looming over the horizon: big *iles tinged with surprise。 I knew all was not perfect; there were sessions ahead that promised dissent; the inevitable parting doomed for tears; but for now I lay back; relaxed; preparing once again。 This time; for the most glorious week in my life。

Amherst Essay

“Stereotyped beliefs h*e the power to bee self…fulfilling prophesies for beh*ior。”

Elizabeth Aries; Professor of Psychology; Amherst College。 From her book “Men and Women in Interaction; Reconsidering the Differences”

In the brief quotation above; Professor Aries vividly describes a phenomenon I h*e often observed myself; but could never aptly put into an appropriate sentence。 Indeed; I h*e witnessed too much of this process; not only in the trivialities of everyday life; but also on the grand scale of global interactions。

Though never mistreated by peers myself; I h*e nevertheless witnessed considerable amounts of bullying at school。 In most cases; a victim is the lonely; unpopular kind who became alienated from others in the first place due to some minor character flaws。 However; even after the said person tries everything in his power to turn around; and even if he indeed managed to improve; he would continue to be everyone’s outlet for negative emotions。 This has nothing to do with the person attempting to improve; and everything to do with the quotation from Professor Aries’ book。 People h*e a tendency to follow their preconceptions: it doesn’ t matter if the pathetic loser suddenly started to *ile at people; he is still bound to get annoying sooner or later; any of his newly adopted virtues are easily overlooked; because he is trapped in a predictable routine of beh*ior

set up by outside influences。 And as simple as that; a human being bees

a prisoner of his own identity; helpless and hopeless。

Looking across a broader landscape; the same phenomenon is observed on the darker side of all international relations。 As many a humanitarian worker can testify; stereotyping is one of the most deadly diseases within modern society。 In an age when malevolent misinformation and historical rancor flourish over publications and internet; people can effortlessly form their opinion about other nations without actually meeting any one person from those areas。 Consequently; the stereotypes they hold can never be proved fallacious; and the groundless prejudice created will then take its root deep inside; grow stronger with every piece of new “discovery”; and one day burst with considerable; even lethal hostility when an actual encounter is made between them and the subject of their animosity。 How many Americans think of terrori* when they see an Arab? How many Chinese people recall the Nanking Rape when met with a Japanese? The more educated of our fellow countrymen may restrict irrational anger with reason and civility; but in this age of accelerated globalization; a few clear…minded individuals can never be enough。

西天取经(9)

Is there a solution to this problem of personal and universal gr*ity? From what I h*e gathered during the last three years; either as a reasonably popular and trustworthy figure within the class; or as China’s delegate to many international conventions and programs; is that understanding remains the best way to remove any deep…held hatred or far…fetched stereotypes。 Once the virus of false preconception is deleted from our systems; we can instantly see the true nature of any individual; people; or munity。 As we learn to reserve our opinions before gaining full knowledge of the facts; as we remove the veil of differing cultures; we make ourselves wiser by far than the blinded zealots cr*ing for conflicts and revenge; and call into being another ounce of sympathetic maturity; that this world desperately needs。
