Today we watched five video about Holocaust Memorial Day, most of the videos were about cases of racism and discrimination. When I saw the video, I was slightly shocked that racism and discrimination was this severe in this world of ours, such as the video where the islamic woman was not allowed into a school just because she was wearing a veil and the black guy who was beaten to death just for being black. In my mind, I was still happy that some people such as that old woman who intervened when two girls were bullying a Jewish girl, if people don't intervene when racism around them happen, our world will be a dark and cruel place, as people think one race or religion is better or worst than another.
If the people acted differently in the video such as the principal allowing the Islamic woman to enter, the woman helping the boy who's father was arrested since he was a Jew, maybe they would have done a little more goodness into this world of ours. Racism in our world now, isn't a very tough problem to solve, is we just dimiss any speculation and low our barriers and embrace each religion as it's own, we can make this world a much better place for this generation and the next.
Thoughtful and personally engaged reflection.
