REFLECTION 14:- PREJUDICE

Prejudice is a popular problem that has been around for centuries. It deals with feelings evoked towards an individual or group. This has to be displayed in a negative manner for it to be considered prejudice. For example, a black family moves into a white neighborhood and all the residents begin to move from that community. That what is displayed is known as prejudice in a racial manner. This problem comes about sometimes because one feels that he or she is superior. Prejudice always brings about conflict and segregation. Sometimes this major issue is seen in the classroom. This is definitely horrific. No individual should be judged by their color, socioeconomic status, friends and/or neighborhood, just to name few, in order to get around to do anything in life especially education. No one should be deprived of education and resources just because of the stated factors. Education is what makes the economy of a country get better and grow. Education is what makes the world what it is today therefore no one should not get one. Reading these articles inspires me to continue being the person I am today, an impartial body that loves and cares for everything on this planet. As a teacher to be, I would never in my years of teaching to come discriminate against any of my students because of any reason at all. Everyone in this world should be treated the same no matter who you are or where you are from. I think I know how prejudice happens now. It starts with a group of individuals believing in one belief. It then continues when this group evokes bad feelings towards others and tries to get other individuals to believe that what they are doing is very correct. During this process a lot of people do get hurt and the persons doing the damage do not care about its effect on others. Therefore, I close by saying “do unto others, as you would have them do unto you.” Never do something to someone that you would not like being done to you.
