Quote 1:
Look at it this way. What can anger lead to? Think about it in your own school, among your friends or other groups of kids. If someone gets angry, what is usually the end result? Loss of friendship, damaging words, maybe a fight, etc. I don't know what your goal was for this particular assignment, but I would use examples from school to back up your logic.
Quote 2:
People are very quick to judge others. When we don't understand something or someone, we make snap judgements. Think of it this way. Here in America today, Barack Obama keeps being called a Muslim. People are afraid of him and scared of him because they think he's a Muslim. Now, he's said many times that he's not, yet it is still being used as a way to put him down. People don't understand Islam or Muslims. Because they don't understand the religion, they assume all Muslims are evil terrorists. To say Obama may be one is condemning him on this basis of just not understanding who he is or what Islam is.
Another example... Look at today's "emo" culture. Many people don't undersatand kids who wear black and have sideswept bangs. They assume they're all cutters or druggies.
Basically, we put down what we don't understand instead of getting information about it.
