None of us knows exactly what our world is. Hotel of Transylvania is a hotel in which monsters have a great time & simultaneously hide from humans. Monsters hide from humans, isn’t it silly? The reason of hiding is that in old times some humans attacked them and they killed Dracula’s wife. But it wasn’t all the population; there were some unruly and stringent people. In our world difference is something temporary; everybody has their personality, has their characteristics. However, sometimes because of difference some people criticize us for our congenital features; our hair, our sex, our religion, our nationality, and ignore from our education, our politeness, our dignity, or our philanthropy. Do you believe that our characteristics should be the basic criteria to join in a company or to make friends or to do what we want? Moreover considering that a prejudice leads to racism, we can see the reasons for World War 2. Why was it s made? Of course, because of some people’s conviction that some people do not have the same rights as the others have .To sum up, should we contemplate on our daily life, the world may change a lot.

I am not going to make any corrections; the point of this activity was to make us all think! <br /><br />Here is Hercules' comment on the Literature Blog:<br /><br />In the film hotel transylvania monsters dreaded people and they thought that people would treat them cruelly and inhumane as a result Dracula built a castle in which only monsters could have access. He also deceived his daughter as to stay away from people. However a young man found out that place by chance, when the monsters first met him they believed he was one of their kind.While the monsters realized that he was a human they got surprised and they changed their minds, they stopped the prejudices against human.An extraoridinary and strange part of the movie is that Dracula's daughter and the young man fell in love.<br /><br />I reckon that being prejudiced against different people is rational if we dont know anything for them. Nevertheless if we come in contact with different people it's abnormal to be afraid and scared of them.Christina Markoulakihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06460428861771429571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7548275635979603095.post-57287799344371291122013-07-30T21:11:00.941+03:002013-07-30T21:11:00.941+03:00After watching the film, we were left with a diffe... After watching the film, we were left with a different perspective, as far as discrimination is concerned. Take monsters, for example, not only do they not try to scare people, but they are also scared of them themselves. The same kind of situation exists in the human world. Both sides are not fond of each other, although neither have something to worry about. That is a fairly simple example of discrimination within our kind.<br /> It is quite common, especially for older people, to be prejudiced against certain groups of people. However, such a behaviour cannot be justified nowaadays, as there are plenty of organisations, or even simply some people, that fight and protest for equality and justice. How a person, or a group of people, is treated should not be decided based on their gender, ther nationality, etc, but on the way they treat others. Furtheromore, it is not our right to judge other people with criteria WE have set. Everyone should be entitled to be different from other, as nobody is exactly the same as somebody else.<br /> As was very nicely illustrated in the film, false prejudice is created in various ways. As I see it, the most important of all is misinformation. Spreading rumours or your personal opinion about a person or a group is the most usual way to do that, particularly if the people you adress yourlself to have not received a proper education and/or are easily influenced by a certain person's utterances. This usually happens in rural or enclosed societies, the people in which do not communicate with the outside world often or at all. Furthemore, parents play an essential role in the conduct of their child towards these people later on. From a very young age, children with prejudiced parents learn to consider such people inferior or to be afraid of them, because their parents have taught them to do so.<br /> In a nutshell, I believe it is absolutely wrong to behave badly to others, whatever their gender or nationality. Everybody should be and considered equal and be treated that way!NasTournhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03200705027369208866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7548275635979603095.post-14617134579566390472013-07-30T16:27:49.857+03:002013-07-30T16:27:49.857+03:00In this film there is an unusual prejudice....Mons...In this film there is an unusual prejudice....Monsters are afraid of humans!Two different sides are met in this film, dracula's daughter and a teenager human...The unexpected of this film is that these two teens manage to overcome this prejudice by learn more one for the other.We shouldn't be prejudiced for something or sb we dont know about because thats probably wrong.We should first learn about something and then we can express our opinionAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10024725125830210098noreply@blogger.com
