Race and Discrimination

1.      Racial and discrimination crisis have been a part of American people as well as people around the world. Discrimination, which is the unequal treatment between different categories of people, that is evident in various social institutions. For example, in the film, “Race to Execution,” African Americans faced discrimination in legal system such as in courts. The African Americans were considered the minorities, and minorities always face some sort of discrimination in my opinion. Other social institutions such as schools, college, and even work place we experience or have experienced some sort of segregation, which means separately different types or categories of people either physically or socially. In my experience of school, I remember there were many groups formed socially by students. The popular kids, the smart kids, and then there was me who didn’t belong to any of the groups. Maybe because I was not a part of such group I felt out of place at times in school. However, segregation is also experienced in our society such as high, middle, and low classes. Depending on which “class” a person lives, dresses, even eats that way.  Discrimination is still an issue that occurs not only racially depending on color but also within our society amongst people who are overweight, less good looking, and even in government. All these issues may not be considered extreme like it was in the past, however small issue’s still continue in our society. If we can do something to get rid of them our world would become a perfect place. However, even with great hopes, the word perfect is nonexistence but trying to get there can be possible.
