After reading The Scarlet Letter, do you feel that there are any modern-day "scarlet letters" that people are forced to wear or endure? Read the article, "Mental Illness Stigma: Overcoming the ‘Scarlet Letter' of Our Times" and decide if you agree or disagree with the author. Create a 3–5 sentence reflection.

There are scarlet letters today, even in an evolved and modern society.

Explanation:

The term "scarlet letter" refers to a novel of the same name written by Nathaniel Hawthorne, where a woman carried the letter "A" on her chest to show people that she was an outcast of society and thus marginalized her and provoked the embarrassment to her.

Currently, there are "modern escalating letters" that some citizens carry due to factors they have no control over, such as people who suffer from a mental problem or illness and are treated marginally by society, as shown in the article "Mental Illness Stigma: Overcoming the 'Scarlet Letter' of Our Times ". These scarlet letters unfairly define people and prevent them from improving their living conditions, but make them ashamed, sad and often even sicker.
