 * Chapter 3**


 * Quotes**
 * Pg. 258 “And just because it looks unlike men, you don’t have to accuse it of being evil, or vicious or something”
 * Pg. 259 “You are displaying that childish human weakness of hating the different.”

Explain these quotes. What do they say about human nature and the habits of people to pass judgment based on appearances?

Mepeople summary: Chapter 3 is basically about Connant describing how if frozen lower life forms are frozen and thawed out carefully they will come back to life. He also says that if they do that to the alien it might not come back to life because some cells revive but others don't and the bodily foundation needs all of its cells working and they don't so they die. The crew still decides to thaw it out so they can find which world it comes from or if it could be from another galaxy. Finally, the crew decide that Connant will take care of it while it thaws and he states that he isn't afraid of it but rather the look from its face.

The quotes speak of how we tend to hate other beings merely because they are different from human beings. We also tend to accuse those different from us to be vicious and evil, and end up concluding that they must be destroyed so that we may continue to live peacefully. This tendency is a weakness that we as humans hold, how we judge merely on appearance. This is a weakness indeed because once it’s learned one could appear to be trustworthy and kind, but be the complete opposite in truth, and vise versa for those we believe evil but are actually good. I think that we judge people like this because we don’t want to spend time getting to know the person or being that we end up judging merely on appearance. It’s a tendency that we have developed over the years, such examples can be found in the period of exploration when the Europeans came to America and met the “uncivilized” Native American, they considered the Native Americans uncivilized merely because of how they looked and lived. In truth they could’ve been very useful and helpful had the Europeans gotten to know them, and even today many people judge each other on looks. Campbell is saying that a major flaw the human being has is this weakness, how we judge on appearance, how it can end up being our downfall. These two quotes contribute to the message about not being able to trust appearances, not to judge each other based on appearance. It’s quite a foolish thing to do once you think of it really, to judge one on mere looks alone.
