Racism in our society


       In history class, we studied Reconstruction Era. Racism which also known as racial discrimination caused lots of problems during that time. So I want to talk about mordern racism.
    
      Racism is man’s inhumanity in our society. One race believe they have a higher social status than the others. According to the researches, Whites can earn more than Blacks and Hispanics regardless their gender. Whites have a higher “status”, white men with a prison record were more likely to be offered a job than African American men who had a clean record. During the Reconstruction Era, Black Codes and KKK were forms of racism.
 
Racism becomes one of the deepest problems in the world. So, how can we solve it? I have several recommendations: First, don’t make assumptions. Not every African American likes rap music or Asians is good at math. Stereotypes hurt everyone. Examine what your prejudices are and make adjustments to look at everyone as an individual. Second, working with different groups. Working as an equal individual on a common project is one of the best ways to undo prejudice and increase familiarity with others. Third, we should including more history from the past. We deserve to know the negativity of racism. Think before you say. Sometimes, we did not even realize our words hurt others.
In conclusion, racism is an evil. It affects our society so we need to try as hard as we can to address it.

The story about Messi

   Last weekend, I accidentally read an incredible story about Lionel Messi. I was shocked by him, and that story totally changed my mind. Messi, the greatest soccer player in the world who has won the FIFA World player of the year. Coached by his father, Messi really enjoyed soccer when he was a little boy. So he took this sport so seriously that he attended a soccer club in his hometown. Unfortunately and unexpectedly, Messi was diagnosed as dwarfism at a physical examination. He could not grow up to 140cm unless immediate treatment was received. Many patients with this disease would give up. On the contrary, he even practiced harder than before. Surprisingly, after two years’ efforts, the coach of Barcelona found his talent and invited him to join the teenager team of Barcelona. As a result, with his parents’ support, he  determined to move to the city where the team is. Finally, he emerged as the best among the team, and a medical group was organized to cur...

Dear ponyboy: My name is Susan who was a member of Socs. I know that you guys of Greasers might admire us. However, I need to tell you that you totally misunderstand us. Maybe we have good grades, good cars and good outfits in your eyes. But that's wrong, it was not the money that separate us. The surprising this for you is I actually nurse jealousy against the greasers. You guys are real and emotional. I think you are the first person that I've ever really gotten through to. Johnny and you even can understand each other without talking. Your gang is defined as family that each one of Greaser stick up for the members, make like brothers. This is so different from us. I will say something fake to a friend. I don't really a beer blast on the river bottom is super-cool, but I'll rave about one to a girl-friend just to be  saying something, then I realize I don't ,earn half of what I'm saying. It's really crazy, isn't it? But that is actually how we act i...

Thinking about the story of Columbus

   This week I read the story about Columbus who was a famous navigator and explorer. He was a controversial historical figure because he pend up the rise of American but he also murdered many American Indians. From his story, I learned that I can dream what I want to dream; go where I want to go; be what I want be because we only have one life and only one change to do all the things we want to do. Columbus was a charming person due to his braveness and innovative spirit. He did not have a correct and necessary map for his voyage. However, he still made the first voyage across the Atlantic.     American history is the hardest subject for me because I don’t have any background and English is not my first language. I even had the second the thought when I first looked at the textbook. From now on, I’m gonna say yes to this subject that I need to work on it. Nothing is difficult, if you put your heart into it.
