Prejudice Writing Contests
Prejudice Writing Contest
When we think of ourselves and the world we happen to live in the word that comes to mind would be amazing but sometimes we humans seem to disagree in many different ways.
Some ways to start off is prejudice it is when someone is harmed or injured in result to someone else's negative action or judgment. It can start at the simplest word like “mean” to the deadliest stab or wound. It can be making up stereotypes without knowing if it is 100% true or someone being racist in the simplest form of judgment. Prejudice has been around for a long time and we have yet to fully understand it. When it occurs it usually happens because people are bored with their life or are going through a hard time. The question is why does
it exist? Scientist have been studying that question for a while now and what I know from personal experiences is that we are born with it though we might deny that we do it at all. It’s hard to admit to ourselves but humans are truly awful to each other.We see it all the time and that is what makes us think that it is normal and that it is ok to hurt other people but it’s not. Even if you say you’re joking or messing around you might lose a good friend because of a dumb comment that you didn’t have to have an opinion on. But that’s the thing without those dumb comments we would not have our own opinions and without opinions we wouldn't have anything to talk about. Therefore in a way we need prejudice people to keep our minds sane and busy. That's where all of the stereotypes like certain colors go to certain genders or jobs for that matter like woman should stay home and do the house work while men should be the ones to do the work anywhere else.
There really is no way of stopping prejudice it just seems to keep happening no matter what someone does to stop it. There are good people in the world but it is very hard to find a great sum of them though they are out there. The only way I know of to try to stop prejudice is to limit the explosion you have to that kind of mindset. Most of us try to be as pure as possible when it comes to being nice. I hope someday the human race will at least try to get along and work together!
