Prejudice: We Can Change the World :: social issues
hurt We Can Change the WorldWhen a person hears the word prejudice, he or she might think it only refers to the racial prejudice practically found between those with light genuflect and those with dark skin. However, prejudice runs lots deeper than a persons color. Prejudice is found between gender, religion, cultural and geographical background, and race. raft have severalised against others base upon these attributes from the beginning of time. Prejudice has become a difficult problem in our society today and much of our worlds history is based upon such hatred. In the 1600s, white men white plagued Afri give the axes as slaves and tempered them as if they were non human. Colored throng were non even allowed to use the akin drinking fountains as white people until the mid-1900s. Hitler and his men killed over five million people because they were Jewish or were non their comment of normal. The Ku Klux Klan exists today and openly professes its hatred towards Jews an d colored people. Our society is riddled with such hatred based upon peoples beliefs and origins and it seems millions are fighting each other for no relevant reason at all. I do believe that we can greatly reduce the amount of prejudice in our world today, in time I do not think that it will ever tout ensemble go away. Society has seemingly come to except all races, religions, and genders, and supposedly has achieved political correctness, yet there will forever be individuals who discriminate based upon these issues. These individuals often form large groups that recruit new members to impose their hatred of those with a certain religion or skin tone. Obviously, no one can tell these people that they cannot have their own opinions or beliefs, for they have the right to hate whomever they like. However, I believe we need to help our children to accept all people, no matter what god they do or do not believe in or what color skin they may have. If children are raised around peop le who are not the same as they are, then they will most likely not think anything different of people who do not look the same as them or believe what they believe. If we raise our children to believe all people are equal from the start, then prejudice will slowly break down over time. We, as the human race, need to focus on not judging people before we know them for who they are.
