The first time that I encountered haters was when I was scrolling my Facebook news feed. I saw a series of different posts and comments on a teenage group of dancers. Should I speak of the name of this group? Hmmm, maybe not now. Just to be safe.
It was funny on how they made fun of these people by saying bad words, making memes, and worst of all, flooding of bad comments on any post of a particular member of a group and tweeting hate messages to their account.
It was very funny for me at first. I even found myself commenting on some posts. But then I realized, "Why do I hate these guys?" They are just normal people who sing, dance, and do some interviews on YouTube. But then, I also realized that many of these "haters" are anonymous. They do not use their real profiles when they make hateful posts about this teenage group.
What is hate? Hate is an intense feeling that we feel towards someone or something. Like saying some hateful words to someone or something that you don't like. For example an artist who became popular and mainstream for only a month so there will be a hater. Someone will make a Facebook page full of angry comments and hateful posts about the artist.
I found an article about hate that can clearly define hate entitled,
"How do you define hate?" by Alia Hoyt . In that article the author really come up with the detail part on how do you define hate. According to the article we hate something when we proclaim to dislike it. Like when we see those people we dislike we usually get irritated. And in that article it was mention that one of the greatest reason why we hate is fear, usually some different types of scenario like being punished and traumatize.
In the article the author come up with 3 different kinds of hate. One kind of hate is Racism, racism is the act of discriminating someone by their looks, appearance, skin color, and nationality. It was mentioned that hate is being learned by people and some study shows that racism is being influence by other people. Another is Religious and politically-based hatred, the author mentioned that this kind of hate is depending on how you fight for your race even if it is political or religion. The author gave an example about the tribes that were fighting for their race. And the 3rd is hatred based on sexual orientation. In the article it was mentioned that american psychologist says that homosexual and bisexual are subject to social problems such as prejudice, violence and discrimination.
I agree to the article, because of the reason that it was normal to us to hate and discriminate. Somtimes the three kinds of hate is usually happening to us like our religion and what we are fighting for. It was clear in the article that the meaning of hate is to dislike or a feeling. But it has a lot of branches and we will talk about that on the next blog post.
