Ignorance And Ignorance

In Jeremiah 29:11 it is clear that God has calling for the individual that follows Him, “For I know the plans that I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope” (New American Standard Bible). Therefore, in life, man is searching for his purpose and in that search he must be able to control his thoughts so that he can rationally view events. Thus, allowing him to ultimately reach his goal of fulfilling his purpose.

Racism is a serious social menace not only in the US, but also the world over, including Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. The situation has escalated to a new high, especially in this twenty-first century where technological advancements have necessitated mass and quick sharing of information (Nairn et al. 188). Indeed, social media elements like Facebook, Snap Chat, Twitter, Instagram, and What Sapp has been core in enhancing globalization and its effects, some of which affect and influence racial discrimination both directly and indirectly. As opposed to the views that racism is real and has gained momentum globally, the work of media has on the other hand chosen to report the manifesting cases on the extreme degrees, so that it appears as though the world has come to a halt because of such discriminations. At a critical approach, scholars have noted that media is a channel that creates awareness about racism, and hence could easily escalate the situation if a critical balance on the news and reports aired to the public are not balanced between estimates and practical occurrences (Baker and Rowe 443). While discussing the subject of racism and racial discrimination, it is not only essential to outline how the situation is apparently but also imperative to confirm that race relations are depicted to be really bad in today’s times but the media tries to persuade people to believe an exaggerated side of the situation.

Nigger and negro, the two most common words in To Kill a Mockingbird by everybody in Maycomb even the children say these two dreadful and hateful words towards black people but why? Jem, Scout, Dill and mostly every white man, women, and child in Maycomb like to say the word Nigger to black people ignorantly. They say nigger to black people because they feel as though that they have the right to call them that, and that black people shouldn’t even belong on the planet. But for what reason? Because black people deserve it, because black people had it coming to them, or is it complete and utter ignorance. The most important theme in To Kill a Mockingbird is knowledge vs. ignorance.

Racism has little to do with race, and everything to do with ignorance. Ignorant people like to imagine a world without whites would be a world without slavery and racism, but they are wrong. The reality is that a world without whites would still be a world with people, and some people will always be guided by greed, ignorance, and hate. Search all throughout history and you will see this illustrated time and again with homogeneous cultures enslaving and denigrating their own race. From the ancient Egyptians to the Greeks and Romans to the English and Irish to the Native American (pre-colonialism) and even to African and Middle Easterners today, humanity has consistently shown little discernment for color when perpetrating its evils onto the

The solutions to the ongoing issue of racism is that if people were not ignorant of other cultures, and races , people could actually live in a world together in harmony, without racism. Until people can learn to respect on anther and not condemn them for their appearance or culture, a world of racism cannot die . The reason being Racism stems from ignorance that is present in the mind of people. racism is not something that is inherited , it is taught. the ignorance that was created many years ago have traveled from generation to generation, people have honestly just become ore accepting to it. if we can teach future generations to refrain from the ignorance and racist tendencies of older generations, one day we can reduce racism . Not

In addition, racism is a reason for choosing a biology career. There are still some hospitals in different parts of the world where they value and cheat people based on their race, ethnicity, and religion. They snatch more money from people of color and who are impoverished. How they snatch more money from them? By authorizing inappropriate medical tests and doing medical experiments on them and capture as much money as they can. These poverty-stricken people don’t understand which tests are vital and which are not, hence these racist doctors take benefit of them. When I witness such type of activities happening around me it always occurred to me how I could avoid these things from happening thereupon, I forethought of being a doctor and open

This country is built on the bless and ignorance. Ignorance that stems from fear and hatred. Fear that some will not always be able to preserve their power in social status, which feeds into the hatred toward those who threaten the status quo. Since the beginning of civilization people have been discriminated against for differences they have no control of such as,but not limited to, race and gender. These people have been ostracized and conditioned to believe their differences are abominable and unacceptable to the rest of society. Desegregation's have generated violence disorder in demanded of equal civil treatment. A nation that pledges indivisibility under God, how have we become so disunified? What needs to be done in order to restore

Ignorance is defined, according to Dictionary.com, as  “lack of knowledge, learning, or  information”. Ignorance is not having a clue what is going on, and not willing to figure it out. This can be damaging to anything you do in life. Say you are at this new job and your boss is telling you to do something, and you do not really know what to do, and are too embarrassed to ask, do not sit there and fake your way through. Take the time to educate yourself, and get to where you are comfortable with it. Now ignorance can also be a good thing. If there is some drama around you, ignorance is bliss. It is best to not get in the middle of all that.

I grew up South African, in poverty with very little. Adding on to being very poor, racist apartheid laws limited my abilities. I could only work a limited number of jobs. I was very disconnected from the world due to not having a television or any other forms of communication. My parents and I were separated when I was a child. I was young and all alone in a racist society. In the summer of 1975, I turned sixteen and it would change my life forever.

Webster’s dictionary defines ignorance as lack of knowledge, education, or awareness. However, it can also be seen as a refusal to acknowledge information. Bliss is defined as complete happiness. Does the idea of ignorance is bliss really hold true? Can happiness be a byproduct of a lack of knowledge and awareness, or the flat-out refusal to acknowledge? The people of Omelas seemed to have achieved that. The townspeople of Omelas live in a prosperous Utopian town where everyone is happy, but in order to maintain their way of life a child must be subjected to inhuman treatment and suffering, “They all know it is there, all the people of Omelas…[T]hey all understand that their happiness...depends wholly on this child’s abominable misery”(Le Guin).” How can they allow such atrocities to take place? Well, as Mark

The Bible mentions in Jeremiah 1 verse 5 [1] – “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart…” It also mentions in Jeremiah 29 verse11 – “For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future”. [1]

Twentieth century political theorist Albert Memmi defines racism as, “the generalized and final assigning of value to real or imaginary difference, to the accusers benefit and at his victims expense, in order to justify the former’s privileges or aggression.” The United States has not only assigned value to the concept of race, but was founded of off white supremacy in regards to it. This is further demonstrated and proven by Connor Cruise O’Brien’s article Thomas Jefferson: Radical and Racist, the Supreme Court decision regarding Plessey V. Ferguson (1896), and Lee Atwater’s 1981 interview on the Southern Strategy. A blatant disregard and misrepresentation of minority’s within the context of the American political system is one founded upon racism and further implemented through racist policy.

A large ominous figure approaches a shop in a suspicious manner. The store clerk --who is already on edge-- begins to fidget, and while watching the shadowed figure approach he finds his eyes dart underneath the counter where the store’s gun is hidden. As the man comes into the light just before the shop door he is seen with bloodshot eyes and wearing filthy clothes. In a quick instinctive motion the store clerk runs up to the door, and before the man can enter he tells him the shop is now closed. The man begs the store clerk, but with no success. The store clerk turns him away without hearing his story. Many individuals just like this man dismiss others without ever understanding them. Because of society's ignorance and refusal to understand others, equality continues to escape our reach.

Eichmann followed the will of the Fuhrer rather than his own and this also indicates that he himself had no real motives for his acts; his fault was in the fact that he refused to think about what he was doing, or refused to recognise the truth of what he was in fact doing.

The United States has always been the melting pot of the world; its population being one of mixed race since its very beginning. Such diversity however, birthed discrimination, racism, and oppression towards people who did not bear features like those of the European colonizers. Almost five hundred years later, the inequality survives with too many people unaware of its endurement. Jo-Vaughn Virginie Scott, a African American rapper more commonly known as Joey BadA$$ took notice of the evident injustice still present in America and turned towards music to deliver his enraged message. In 2017, Bada$$ released his sophomore album, ALL-AMERIKKKAN BADA$$, where he spoke out against the corrupt political and economic system of the country in addition to tackling inequality and denouncing the government. In his final song of the album, “AMERIKKKAN IDOL”, Bada$$ prompts listeners to question the explicitly racist government system and take action against the country’s oppressive racial maltreatment as to prevent society from growing even more unjust than it already is.
