Speech on Racism for school
Answers
Answer:
Racism is the discrimination of people of a different race, according to many dictionary definitions. Ironically, scientists believe homo sapiens are the same race with nuances in people’s evolution. In effect, racism is discrimination of people of different slight variations which are often common to the country they originated from. Racism is prevalent in all countries at some time by some people. Today it is a crime in most countries by law. It is illegal in many countries to write discriminatory words that are racist. It is a crime in most countries to behave discriminately in fields of education and employment.
The virtues of tolerance. Tolerance is a key word today with regards to differences of skin color, origin, and ethnicity. Equal rights are an equally important sentiment which is a universal phrase for highlighting the equality between different nuances of people.
The ‘out-group’ perception rising to racism: Ever since mankind has kept records, people of different nationalities have settled in different countries for work, slavery or as invaders. Groups of workers or descendants of slaves can still call as outsiders or foreigners in a racist manner – which is now a crime in most nations. This racism creates an out-group mindset making them feel like aliens.
Racism due to diversity of identity: In some parts of the globe, old and narrow-minded societies consider people inferior or superior on the basis of their skin color, living habits and place of origin. Intolerance is frowned on in educated countries. After all, can anyone choose the way they look? Or from which ethnic origin they came from?
Racism in employment: for thousands of years the rich have sought cheap or free labor. Romans used slaves two thousand years ago and a few hundred years ago slavery from Africa was popular among European nations. These days the rich still seek cheap labor. Those of the poorest nations are often employed by businesses from richer countries to carry out menial work like fishing and baby care. Stigmas can then be fostered about the lowest paid. A good example is cheap care from the Philippines or fishing menial workers from Myanmar.
Respect for our fellow man would stop the cruelty of racism and breed fairer nations. What is clear is the rule of law and education plays a major part in ridding the evils of racism.
