WILL PREDJUDICES BASED OFF APPEARENCE EVER FADE AWAY?
"We Are The World"
Will there ever be a time where humans will not exclude certain groups due to appearence? Will we ever learn to accept a person for their personality rather then their complexion? Unfortunatly, the answer appears to be no. Naturally as humans it is our baised opinion to force ourselves to clique with the group that is similiar to ones self so we will not have to learn to accept and work with the ideas of others. It is unfortunate that we have been given the ability to look at a person and just assume everything about them, wether they are "good" or "bad" or "pretty or "ugly", it can all be determined by a glance. Race also plays a roll in the appearance prejudicy seeing as we all come from different parts of the world and are only used to what we have been brought up around. For example, if a white man and a black man met on the street forthe first time, it would be unlikely for them to begin to argue due to different looks. They would most likely fear each other since it is not anything they have ever seen before. Fear leads to seperation which is where we stand today. Based on the busy world we live in, just a glance at something or someone is enough for us to determine their value and exclude them if it is not one of our own. Though we can help the issue such as how Martin Luther King Jr. did in the black and white prejudcies of the Civil Rights Movements, it will only be a temporary solution before humans are back at discrimination. Humans have the ablility to form and change others thoughts but there is no possible way to get into a person's head and tell them what is right from wrong, it is all self opinion. Unless every single person is willing to give every other person a chance to get to know them then this issue will never go away. We seperate by looks because we are too coward to get to know indiviuals through communication. Until humans learn to communicate through one another, which seems to be a failing connection in the up coming years, then we will continue to judge others off of their appearance.
Where is the Love - The Black Eyed Peas
"But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate then you're bound to get irate, yeah"
This is a perfect example of how we are forcing ourselves to only love the people like us. IF we ever want to change the world it take everyone in it to pull their weight and find our love for one another in an effort to remove hate. Perhaps a hateless world will never exist but while you only like one group of people you never know what you could be missing out on by expanding horizons and accepting all regardless of their looks... If the world wants peace with others we must first find peace within ourselves.
