Race

This week in class, we talked about Racism and about how it is an issue around the world. We took some time looking at a chart in class that showed people from all different races and what other people called them. It basically said that no matter where you are in the world, there is someone out there that does not like you. It is sad to think about, but for the most part it seems to be true.

Also is class, we talked about where someone learns about different races. Racism is not something that you are born with, it is something that you inquire growing up in society. Different regions of the world experience different living conditions and that can relate to social interaction with other races. A limited social interaction will not give anyone an understanding of other races and can make people jump to conclusions.

We did not watch this movie in class, however, the movie Crash does a great job showing how people jump to conclusions. I can go into detail, but it is one of those movies that you need to see because it is fantastic. It contains a great message that jumping to conclusions is an extremely bad thing to do and can hold serious consequences. I recommend watching it.
