Which was the point of the whole exercise.
How many of us make judgements about a person based simply on there title.
I remember this excercise from 9th grade mental health class. The teacher didn't like my responses. I replied that just because someone didn't have a college education, that didn't mean they could not be a productive member of society. She told me I had a chip on my shoulder.

So of course, me being me, I came to class the next day with a block of wood taped to my shoulder. I don't remember if they called my parents but I do recall being sent immediatly to the principals office.


That you may retain your self-respect, it is better to displease the people by doing what you know is right, than to temporarily please them by doing what you know is wrong.
