Hate makes one feel shame, guilt, and humiliation for being who one is. Human. Everyone is human. Color, religion, even ethnicity, doesn't matter. Everyone is human.

Every day an extensive amount of people have to face hatred and bullying. Huge conflicts occur and lives are lost. The issue that plays a significant part in all of this is racism. It affects individuals and communities in every corner of the world.

People tend to deny, rationalize and avoid discussing their feelings and beliefs about race and ethnicity because they are sensitive topics that people want to avoid. People also deny race and ethnicity because there are uncomfortable feelings, because they are uncomfortable feelings they tend to deny they rationalize because they do not want to hear anything negative about their background, I also think it is part of stigma many people would deny their background. According to out lecture states “Some people by virtue of their ethnic heritage (something they individually had no decision in) believe they are superior or inferior to other simply based on their race or culture”. Therefore, people deny their beliefs, race and ethnicity because

I know a grew up a certain way but I didn't want to be that way no more. Why would I hate someone if they did nothing to me I have no reason to hate them or even discriminate them. Why would we want to separate ourselves from them because of their skin color because they look different because they don't look like the rest of us

So what action can be taken to solve this issue? Hate and racism are learned behaviors. Children are not born with hate; therefore, if they can be taught to hate, can they not also be taught to tolerate? Undoubtedly, this is a task that is easier said that done. This however, could possible if tolerance is taught early on. Schools in communities could implement new curriculum designed to support equality and purge stereotypes. Gripping our nation once again with full force, racism will only continue to grow worse if a course of action is promptly acted upon for our youth.

“You can't separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom.” - Malcolm X. During the 2016 Presidential Election there were many forms of cultural division, for a time when the nation was torn apart, the election did not help. Throughout the United States they are multiple examples of cultural division from the mosque burning, to the proposal of mass deportation, to the lynching of Frederick Jermaine Carter and Lennon Lacy. All of these show that there is a rift between society in America. Cultural division is prevalent in the United States and is revealed through many factors such as racism, immigration, and religion.

First of all, I feel like the community as a whole should not act out in anger. Although people may not agree with each other’s beliefs we shouldn’t use violence to react to it. In order to have equality and peace in our society, we should learn to be kind, treat others the way we wish they would treat us and not judge each other due to the past and things that have already occurred and cannot be changed. Globally, I feel like racism will always be a present issue but what truly matters is how the issue is handled. As long as race exists, racism will come along with it. However, if we act with kindness and learn to live together peacefully, equality can be achieved, worldwide. It is not easy, but it is

Community isolation is a cultural safety issue as ASTI are faced with discrimination, racism and generation of trauma due to living away from there tribe or their family in other parts of the community. Low levels of trust from the ASTI towards the community as of generation of discrimination, racism, this can cause anxiety and feelings of disempowerment and disorganization and they don’t know or have lost how to communicate with other that are not in the family structure or society.

The primary need on our campus is a diversity program. With the opening of another middle school campus this year, our campus has gone from being one of the largest and more diverse campuses in the district to being one the smallest and least diverse in the district. A diversity program will allow the minorities on campus to share their culture in order to build a community that understands we are all more alike than different. Currently this need is not impacting the achievement of students on campus, however, if not address I feel that ultimately this could become an issue that may allow students to feel uncomfortable and create dissention. By partnering with parents and members of the community, I think a program could be developed that allows every culture the opportunity to shine.

There exists in our community a monster, a monster as old as mankind itself. This monster is known by many names; some call it racism, others discrimination but the only thing certain about this monstrosity is that it can be overcome if we all unite to fight against it. Racism is “a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race” (Merriam Webster). Racism has multiple causes ranging from living in a secluded community, to the basic instincts of mankind which likes exemplify the differences found in others not like themselves. Racism can destroy the foundations on which a community is laid upon and can intrude upon the peace and sanction of many of its members. By informing members of the community on the reasons why racism continues to persist, encouraging acceptance and providing further education on how to relieve racial tensions, we can resolve the issue of racism once and for all.

Fragile X Syndrome is a genetic disorder that causes intellectual disability and is very common. The main characteristic is that children find it hard to process, understand information and work. You can identify fragile x syndrome is babies miss important developmental steps, or if their are noticeable physical traits like a different face or a big head circumference. This disability causes difficulty in learning, development and in their behaviour social/behavioural.

So how can this problem be handled? How can this precarious, disputed issue be solved if not with enforcing laws or re-education? The biggest, most crucial factor in taking steps to absolve racism and stereotypes from today’s society is being able change attitudes. The ideals of a racist or bigoted intellect can be dissolved if somehow shown the error in their morals, and the meaning of admission. The workings of the solecistic conscious must be altered in order to begin repairing all such perspectives have damaged. Any hope of inequality or segregation must be removed, pulled from thought. Acceptance and love must be understood, if the world can unite themselves in peace.

Please keep in mind that I do not have a textbook and I’m trying to improvise without one. I am not aware of any specific immigrant and refugee groups within my community, however per the latest census, my township is nearly 75% white and approximately 22% African American and less than 4% from other ethnic backgrounds

It is not difficult to imagine oneself being misunderstood when immersed in a new culture. Intercultural conflict is bound to occur when two people from different cultures interact because each culture has unique values. Therefore, when an American and an Italian American become friends, it is likely that their different cultures will cause conflict. The key to solving this conflict will be sympathizing with one another. Throughout this paper, a conflict regarding unalike views on the meaning of ‘on time’ will be described, explained, and solved.
