Prejudice And Discrimination...

Posted by thebluefairy on March 24, 2009 at 6:14 PM

I have recently been thinking about somebody who at the end of last year tried to judge me and bring me down... so I thought I would rant...

 

Everybody in this world has prejudices. Anybody who declares that they do not, is a liar. This does not make us bad people, we are only bad when we act on these prejudices and start to discriminate people. Other people do not have prejudices about certain groups of people but will still discriminate against them, maybe because of fear, peer pressure or ignorance.

 

Every person on this Earth is born equal, but it is society and environment that determines who we will become. You may have certain values and ethics that are totally different from the person next door, and these are hard to change, especially as they have been moulded over time from the day that you were born, but you must realise... you may have some pre-conceived view on certain groups of people... you may believe the stereotype that you have in your head... but just because you believe this and may be narrow minded, it doesn't make your judgements true.

 

Nobody has any right to judge another person, or presume that they either understand or know them. Every person is an individual and need not be judged by classifacations of culture, race, class, belief, looks etc, but be commended on the positive actions that they take in life.

 

We must all learn to be more open minded and non judgemental, in general. If there is something that we do not understand, we should learn to have the decency to ask or research, not judge nor bring down.  Rather than mirror the insecurities we feel within our own souls, onto others, we should learn to accept that this is a very diverse world, full of very different people. It is akin to the colours of the rainbow... everybody has different beliefs, cultures, race, likes, dislikes etc and this should be embraced and people should be proud to share with others as this world would be a very boring place if everybody looked the same, had the same experiences, beliefs etc.

 

Yes this is an extremerly idealistic point of view as there are people out there who are just pure negative... but if you look at their history you may just start to understand and appreciate that because they were treated and moulded in a certain way, they act in a certain way, and then you may just become enlightened to the fact that, your actions could change the rest of somebodys life.
