Hi I'm supposed to ask 5 people about discrimination. Can you please help me by answering just these 2 questions. Thank you.
1 . What kinds of discrimination have you experienced or observed?
2. What do you think can be done to end discrimination?
1. blacks looked down on.
2. education
Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. When I lived in Japan I was discriminated against as a "round eye." I could fully understand the rationale, although I do not agree with it! Knowledge ought to end this problem. I used to tell my students: "It is neither better nor worse; it's just different."
1. During the height of the Civil Rights movement, I heard a white business owner in our small Michigan city say that if she had to hire blacks as clerks, that she'd lose customers. (Of course, she eventually had to hire blacks -- and she didn't lose customers.)
Within the last year in our city, a young black man was harrassed and arrested by the police for playing his car stereo too loud. The case came to trial this week and he was acquitted. The jury felt that the harrassment was caused by police discrimination against African-Americans.
2. Community awareness and pressure on those who discriminate can help end discrimination.
Thank you for sharing the experiences and insights of the individuals you spoke with. Discrimination takes many forms, including racial discrimination, as seen in the examples you provided.
To understand and address discrimination, it is crucial to have open and respectful conversations with people from various backgrounds. By asking individuals about their experiences, you gain insight into the different forms of discrimination they have faced or observed.
To answer your first question, the individuals you spoke with mentioned experiencing or observing discrimination against African-Americans. This includes being looked down upon and facing harrassment and arrests by police based on their race.
As for your second question, the individuals suggested that education and community awareness can play a key role in ending discrimination. By increasing knowledge about different cultures and experiences, people can gain a better understanding and empathy towards others. This can help challenge stereotypes and biases, ultimately leading to a more inclusive society.
In addition, the individuals mentioned the importance of applying pressure on those who discriminate. This can be done by communities collectively condemning discriminatory behavior and holding individuals or institutions accountable for their actions.
Please keep in mind that these answers are based on the experiences and perspectives of the people you interviewed, and may not encompass the full range of possible responses to your questions.
