Q: What comes to your mind on the word discrimination and what are your views on them?
Ans: I think that this world is very unjust in nature. Eg. In a class, there will always be one person who will be a laughing stock to others. It may be because he’s fat, maybe because of his race. However, it is not his fault to be how he is, yet people tend to make fun of him because he’s different. They just follow the majority who bullies, and few have the courage to defend that guy or to tell the teacher. Hence, I think that this world in nature is unjust, as you may be discriminated against if you are different from the majority.
Q: What are your views on prejudice?
Ans: I think that prejudice occurs as it is human’s habit to stereotype. Although it is a much fairer world from the past, people still tend to stereotype. Eg. Some people still have a dislike towards some race, maybe because they have a smell they dislike, or maybe their culture. Hence, once they see one person of that race doing something wrong, he will think that everyone of that race is like that and forms a wrong perception. However, I think there is a massive improvement from the past. In the past, the blacks didn’t have any civil rights, but now, they can do the same as everyone else.
