Throughout my week, learning about how ethnographers work and about the short story “The Cask of Amontillado,” I have come to realize that, in history, humans have often been very evil and biased about certain things. Just like with ethographing, people judge others based on how they present themselves, such as their color, sex, gender, and race. If it doesn’t fit a certain narrative, they try to perceive it as a bad thing or as not belonging in society, making certain claims about people unreliable or outright wrong.

Not all people have these biases, but it’s encouraged to dislike certain people or harm these certain people because these biases tend to challenge social norms of most societies.
