"Dog Eat Dog World"

        Tannenbaum claimed that it is in all human beings to have a callous indifference to the suffering of others. I believe that there is an evil and selfishness in all of us which under certain circumstances it can be unleashed. Tannenbaum also claimed that the United States is divergent from other parts of the New World in the sense that we have morally separated ourselves from ever accepting an African American. Till this day African Americans are automatically looked upon by the color of their skin. Regardless of all the laws that have been passed stating that African Americans have rights, there is a level of ignorance that will always remain in our society. A level of ignorance so unattainable that we will go as far as to ignore laws that have prevailed over the years and pick at our stereotypical image of what an African American has always been seen for. History has repeated itself and in our times I believe we are more prejudice than ever. We have a larger variety of people and groups to target, not just African Americans.
        This brings me back to Tannenbaums claim on human beings and their callousness. There is a connection with the way we continue to perceive African Americans and the way we all target other groups or people that proves the callousness that's buried in each and every one of us. The ability we have to morally separate anyone from our society now and days is essential to Tannenbaums claim. It really makes me believe that it is in all human beings to put others beneath us if in the end it is beneficial to us. Who ever said it’s a "dog eat dog" world wasn't kidding.      
        Tannenbaum portrayed human beings as such unselfish beings which he was far from wrong. There was something Tannenbaum saw in humans that he knew if in the future we weren't targeting African Americans we would be morally degrading another aspect of our society because it is in all human beings to have a callous indifference to the suffering of others.
