The Prejudices

Good morning to everybody, I will talk you about the prejudices.

First of all I want to tell you that all of us, at one time or another, have some kind of prejudices.

We usually guide ourselves with prejudices to save thinking that all of us are humans and we have our own personalities, and all of us act different from others because we are INDIVIDUALS.

-         Could you tell me some kinds of Prejudices? (yes you can see it on the frontpage)

-What does it means? When you use a prejudice you are relating somebody or normally a group of people to some kind of behavior (good or bad) and in a kind of atmosphere.

To make it easier I will tell you two examples…

The first example is the typical persistent student that you think he is a closed person and he doesn’t move from his desktop, but then you realize that he goes out every weekend to parties and has great fun!

The second example… When you see a Heavy with his leather jacket and a strange looking character, then you think, BUUUUUUF! HE’S REALLY FREAK AND SURE HE’S STUPID! But Then you know more of him and he’s the nicest person that you ever meet and in some times his life view point can surprise you!

WE ARE WRONG!                                                                                                           

Yes, usually we have prejudices which we can’t appreciate and it makes us think bad things about anyone in our first impression.

That’s the biggest problem about meeting people and for this, we are becoming more ignorant about different points of view in life!

  

PREJUDICES LEFT MARKS IN HISTORY.

At the beginning of time, the animals never had problems like this. They thought only about: “ OH LOOK THIS ANIMAL, Is he dangerous? No? Ok, HE’S APPELING!”

But when the development started and the “humans” moved away, there started the differences…

Slavery:

The first act in History which we can define with Prejudice is the “SLAVERY”,

But I think that I can’t define Slavery like a prejudice when it was used in the Ancient Egypt, When the slaves were usually criminals or poor people…

But when the WHITE men which were living above the Equator line started to “ENSLAVE” the black people who were taken from their countries mainly in Africa, then we can state that were Prejudice acts…

Nazism:

Then, the second Prejudice which revolutionized all the world was the Nazism.

There had been big demonstrations about the prejudices which we have in ourselves and also the facilities which make us think things like “Racism? Yes, it’s a good way…”

The Nazism was based on exterminating the LOW RACES (that’s the biggest Prejudice that I’ve never heard! )

These low races were the Jewish, black people, and some kind of “races” which weren’t like the DREAM OF HITLER, which described they were the BEST RACE…

 THE LAST CLUE!

Hey guys, do you want to know what? Hitler was wrong! How I Know it? I have a clue which completes my demonstration…

Jesse Owens, a black man from South America won the Olympic Games… And Hitler was there, in the bleachers looking how a BLACK MAN was winning the first position in the Olympic Games…

You can laugh! Of course! But can you imagine his face?

That’s real that the prejudices are good in some times…

For example, if you close your eyes and imagine this situation: You are in the street, alone, at midnight and suddenly you see a black person who’s coming to you in a suspicious way. Sure lots of you will start running.

But do you know that’s the same if you find a white person in the same time and at the same street?

That’s the prejudice which makes us think that a person with a different skin can be good or evil depending on his physical appearance.

Another prejudice at present is the topic of Homosexuality.It was persecuted by Nazis in the  30’s.

Nowadays, the society think that the men usually have a women’ behavior and otherwise, women have man’ behavior.

What can we do against these prejudices?

Firstly, we have to have an open mind realizing that all the people are different and you should be friends with everyone, leaving aside where they are from, their sexual preferences or their believes.

Another thing to do against the prejudices is to be aware that all of us have different life aims which, and we can take help from other view points.
