How sociological perspectives differ from psychological perspectives?
class,caste and inquality
What is the implication of biases of psychological assessment among cultural minorities?
According to my understanding,Minorities are the group of people which are lower in number as compared to other group. Bias, according to me is a curse to developing and underdaveloped countries as they are more prone to it. as of my subjective perception. I think people should not be treated on the basis of their coulr caste or religion as we cannot decide someon's ability on the basis of these mere things which dont even matter. I think a person should be known by his ability, intelligency instead of his/ her beauty, colour, caste or religion. Taking the example of my class., most of the students in our class are known for their work for their capacity instead of their beauty or color. As its already mentioned Dont judge a book by its cover. Dont be so judgemental just due to color or caste., if you really want to judge someone., just try to know what actually is inside a person's heart. A person's heart and mind makes him an attractive personality rather than his looks or religion.

Hope I helped. Luv, Ask Anonymous!Questions? E-mail me at nktorpado@yahoo.co.inumm brahmanism is about sacrafice and karma and impressing alot of gods its all about the vedas and the caste systems which sucks for people who are below the brahmans heres something that hopefully will make sense that my honors history teacher told me yo " by fulfilling your dharma you gain good karma so that in your next samsara your autman is closer to moksha with brahman" yeah boi that's what brahmanism is all about but ya its also the early form of Hinduism yeah i should be writing a paper right now about this but instead while finding info i found this totally wrong answer to ur question and had to make it rightpeace yo!Brahmanism means to get united with the universal spirit (atman connected with parmatma) BRAHMA GYAAN. It has nothing to do with outside worldly things like wearing some yellow(pitamber) clothes or having a pony tail at head. As per shastra or historically brahmans had a freedom to have non-veg. Although food has got nothing todo with Brahma Gyaan.Brahma is a state of mind. To reach Brahma is to experience a connectedness with the harmony and balance within the universe, and especially on Earth.
What are some stereotypes of Buddhists?
Buddhism is often confused with Tibetan Buddhism which is a branch of Buddhism.Some of the many Misconceptions about Buddhism: Hotei1. The Buddha is the fat guy.Main article: HoteiThe statue of a bald, fat Buddha is actually a Chinese monk who lived in the 9th century CE.2. All Buddhists are bald.Main article: HairAlthough the shaving of the head is sometimes fashionable, such as the basketball players in the 1990's, the shaved head is one sign of being a monk or a nun in the Buddhist tradition, where it is considered to be one less thing to identify with or be attached to. Lay people rarely shave their heads and primarily do so for the same reasons non-Buddhists do so; for ease, comfort, or fashion.3. All Buddhists are vegetarians.Main article: Vegetarianism and BuddhismMany Buddhists choose a vegetarian diet to better practice the First Precept, but not all. About half of all Buddhists are vegetarian or vegan and the other half regularly consumes meat, limits it somewhat, or eats meat only if served or offered it by others.4. All Buddhists meditate.Main article: MeditationMeditation has been identified as the central practice of Buddhism (Edward Conze said that meditation is for Buddhism what prayer is for Christianity). It is unclear how many Christians actually pray, but the majority of Buddhists throughout history have not meditated. Meditation has, until rather recently, been considered a monastic practice, and even then, as a practice reserved for only certain monks. The Buddha did place great emphasis on meditation, but some traditions such as the Pure Land do little to no meditation in their practice.5. All Buddhists who meditate sit in full lotus.Main article: Meditation posturesVery few Buddhists sit in full-lotus when they meditate. The Buddha advocated for mindfulness at all times and not just when sitting or in a certain posture. All postures are acceptable and used.6. Reincarnation is fun.Main article: RebirthAs much as anyone might like to come back to play centerfield for the Yankees, this is just not the way it works. If you are tired of people saying "Been there. Done that," just remember that Buddhists have been saying it in so many words for a couple of millennia. There is no place you have not been reborn, no form of sentient life that you have not already been a zillion times. It all should be a tedious bore right now, and all you should want to do is get out. Unless, of course, you're a bodhisattva.7. All roads lead to the same mountaintop.Main article: HeavenMany great Buddhist figures, from Dogen to the current Dalai Lama, are emphatic on the point that enlightenment is only possible by following the Buddhist path. You can only get so far following other religions: all roads lead to Everest base camp, but from there, Buddhism is the only route to the summit. Buddhism holds that anyone can get to heaven leading a moral life and precepts from any religion, but the ultimate Nibbana is through the Buddhist path.8. All Buddhists live in monasteries.Main article: Upasaka and UpasikaMost Buddhists throughout history have been laypeople and hence have not lived in monasteries. They could not do so, because without the laity the monasteries could not survive.9. You must be a monk or nun to get enlightened.Main article: Upasaka and UpasikaThere are reports of lay people from all traditions who have attained enlightenment.10. All Buddhists are hippies.Main article: PreceptsHardly, many Theravadins are quite conservative, as are some Zennies and Vajrayana Buddhists. Some follow what might be called rigid precepts and do not even drink alcohol.11. Buddhists are idol worshipers.Main article: IdolatryNot true, some traditions don't even use statues much. And those that do, do not worship them, just pay respects to the teacher and teachings. There is a Zen saying that if it is cold and your statue is made of wood, throw the Buddha statue in the fire to keep warm.12. The Dalai Lama is the head of Buddhism.Main article: Dalai LamaThe Dalai Lama is the spiritual leader of the four major schools of Tibetan Buddhism, but not of the many other Mahayana schools, Zen schools, or Theravada.13. Buddhists believe in reincarnation.Main article: AnattaIt is actually rebirth, not a transmigrating soul. Buddhists wear fashionable clothes just as much as non-Buddhists14. Buddhists must wear robes.Main article: Clothes & fashionMain article: Buddhist fashionBuddhists wear whatever they like and are not required to wear robes. Some Zen sects wear a robe, but that is only for the meditation session and it is immediately taken off before leaving the zendo. It is also worn over the regular clothes. Other schools of Buddhism, such as Vajrayana and Theravada do not wear any robes even during meditation and retreats (except for monastics of course).15. The Buddha is God or one of the gods.Main article: BuddhaThe Buddha was as mortal as any of us and got sick and died too. He attained enlightenment and Nibbana but was born a human in 563 BC in his final life. He was not a Son of God either, as found in Greek mythologies.16. Buddhism is a pessimistic religion.Main article: The Four Noble TruthsThe first noble truth is the noble truth of suffering. But there are 4 Noble Truths, not one. The rest deal with us getting out of suffering.17. It's all an illusion.Main article: 2 truthsNothing can bare ultimate examination. It is not all an illusion, as if nothing is there. It is all like an illusion, as in being dependently arisen; dependently arisen is not something that is obvious to the ignorant mind.The following extract from - Do objects Exist ? by the Dalai Lama : "Analysis does not contradict the mere existence of the object. Phenomena do indeed exist, but not in the way we think they do."18. Buddhism is a reformation of Hinduism.Main article: HinduismBuddhism is in sharp contrast to Hinduism. The Hinduism at the time of Buddha was Brahmanism and included a transmigrating soul, the caste system, polytheism, and animal sacrifices. The Buddha's teachings rejected a permanent soul, the caste system, and animal sacrifices. Buddhism is often referred to as a non-theistic religion.19. Buddhists are all dreadfully serious people, don't wear make up and never have any fun.Main article: CosmeticsMain article: Smiling and laughterBuddhists wear cosmetics, if they so choose, but do not use them during retreats and other days when they want to focus on their meditation practice. At other times, Buddhists use or don't use cosmetics at the same rate as anyone else in the community / nation. Buddhists strive for equanimity, which is a balanced state of mind, primarily so that they do not react to situations especially with anger or without thought. Buddhists still can know how to have a good time, but attempt to do so without attachment. Ajahn Brahm and the Dalai Lama as well as many other famous teachers are known for their great sense of humor and frequently tell jokes, laugh, and smile.20. Buddhists are not allowed to desire anything so cannot play sports or achieve anything either.Main article: Archery & kyudoMain article: The Zen of GolfBuddhists play sports and some do very well at it. Tiger Woods is a champion golfer. Buddhist athletes do very well at archery and other sports too. Phil Jackson has won more championships in basketball than anyone else, as a player and coach (combined). Jackie Chan, Steven Seagal, Goldie Hawn and numerous others have made a success at acting. Steve Jobs is the CEO of Apple, Inc. Steve Wynn is the highly successful casino mogul in Las Vegas. Ellison Onizuka was a NASA astronaut. Several Nobel Prize winners have been Buddhist, winning awards in the sciences, medicine, literature, and peace. The Pali term chandha refers to intention, will, and zeal and is used for good and wholesome desires. Not all desires are bad or not allowed.
