On a personal note, it can be said that all humans over complicate other people and situations in the world. For which reason we aren't sure, but in history and during present day it is necessary to point out how someone is inferior to others or just simply different. Why do we choose to assume what other people's intentions are without asking the person? Automatically we assume the worst in people and then call others hypocrites for doing the same thing.
Too often in the news there is a person's name on the screen, and their name and picture is there for the wrong reason. Too many people are killed or put away because of assumptions or ignorance to a situation. In a classroom it is said that knowledge is power, and that the truth will set a person free; too often that statement is contradicted by another's actions. Everyone wants to think they are right and that they can do anything. The problem is, no one talks about how even with the motivation and a goal in mind a person might still need help.

A simple question, why are people afraid to ask? It could be said that many people are too afraid to ask the hard questions, and instead we just assume the answer to a question that was never asked. Too many times a person doesn't know who they can go to for help, or who is safe person to go to. In elementary school students are given a list of all the good people to go to when a person needs help. Then as students get older it becomes harder to go to those people, and easier to put trust in the wrong person.
What is the point of assuming another's actions? A person's race, gender, sexual preference, or even IQ is enough for people to think what they want about the individual. People are judged on everything, from the big things in their life to the smallest thing -- such as their favorite condiment. It is talked about how judgement and lying is horrible and ugly, but there isn't a person in the world who hasn't lied or judged another person at least once. It's human nature; it is how each individual makes their choices for their own life by the influence of another person.
The influence of another person doesn't have to be good or bad, it's just there. Similar to a fact read in a textbook; a fact is a fact, what a person chooses to do with said fact is a reflection of that person. When one person doesn't like the actions of another they can ignore it or have that person not be apart of their life. The same goes for when a person is interested or intrigued by the actions of another; they can follow or just stand back and let the person continue.
In today's society there is need for control, humans want to control what others say and their actions, even when they don't know the other person. Today people are offended by who another person is, not another person's actions, but their personality. Too often many take it to heart of how another person acts or what another person believes in. Instead of just not liking the way something looks or how someone acts, people say it, "personally" offends them. Sometimes it can be very reasonable to say these words about another person's actions; instead groups of people will use it for petty reasons.
From a personal point of view if a person is not hurting another person or damaging public property leave that person be. If a person is not doing something morally wrong, why waste time in telling them that they are wrong in their choices? Not everyone can agree on everything, and there's no reason people should have to.
The United States was once nicknamed the Melting Pot, a place anyone could come to find their fortune and freedom. Yet it is also the United States that will tell people who they can be and who they cannot be on the social ladder. Instead of caring about the people who need help, so many are focused on topics that aren't as important. It's embarrassing to think about all of the people who have been refused help because of who they are.
