The world, as we know it, has made many drastic changes as it has evolved and grown over the last few hundred years. Women’s rights have progressed tremendously, marital freedoms have advanced, and religious tolerance has expanded. It’s true that the human race has come a long way in terms of its ideas of acceptance, but let’s not be fooled into thinking that the evolution of acceptance is anywhere near its end.
The year is 2013,
and the concepts of racial diversity, religious diversity, and cultural
diversity are not new to the world. However, it seems that intolerance,
disrespect, and ignorance are still a big issue. Why? Every day, news is
reported and stories are spread about racism in the workplace, or children
being bullied at school because of their ethnic or religious backgrounds. Even
verbal abuse and threats in public are still a common occurrence. THIS HAS GOT
TO END!
I have attached
the following video with the hopes of spreading an understanding about where
racism comes from and how it started. However, what I’m more interested in is
where does it end, and why hasn’t it already?
