Discrimination
How it Effects Us
Discrimination At Its Worse
Discrimination is The unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people or things. Especially on the grounds of race,religion, age, and sex. One example would be in the early to mid 1900s. When discrimination was part of everyday life for the blacks. They weren't treated nearly as well as the whites. Everything would be separated into two groups, and the blacks would get the worse one of the two. They weren't given the proper needs to live a happy life. No one even cared one bit about the blacks, but the blacks cared about each other. It's still a global issue today, because it doesn't give the quality of life that a regular person just gets handed. They deal with hatred from many people in the world just because of the skin they wear. Many think they shouldn't have rights at all, which can cause outbreaks, dangerous outbreaks. Which leaves war at a very plausible solution for some people. War leaves many dead, which Is a very bad and terrible solution. A example for war is World War 2. Hitler wanted all the Jews gone, and once they were captured, they were treated worse than the animals. They didn't even care about how many lives lost for the Jews. They destroyed all they have to worship their beliefs. They burned down all the synagogues, where the all the Jews would worship.
Even though most races are excepted now, many people still think they don't deserve much, but we can't do much about it, since it is their thought
Some influential People
Martin Luther King Jr.
MLK went through so much and eventually his death to stop discrimination for himself and all others. He thought the problem was that it wasn't just for the grown ups, for the children too. He said he hoped one day that a black son would come home from school and play with his white friend. How could someone's skin color and what they believe in cause such an inspiration to die from a gunshot. Just because he wanted to change the way his family, friends , and himself live.
Adolf Hitler
Hitler is someone who believed in discrimination. Who was the one who thought, just because he had some trouble, it was their fault, because they were Jews. He started a war that killed nearly 5% of the worlds population. He would kill a Jew without a thought and never think about them ever again. He was one who made discrimination a bigger problem.
Rosa Parks
On a bus, Rosa refused to give up her seat to a white man, and because of this, she was put in jail for about a day. It was a crime at the time, but if you think, if she wore a different color skin, then that act would have nothing but an action. She stood up for her race and influenced many others to believe in the way that was fair.
The Part Resolution
Overpowered
Even though there are many people that discriminate, there are more that are against it. Some are even better, they give to different races on a daily basis. They believe they deserve more then they receive. Discrimination is a problem, but day by day, it's getting a little less worse.
