Refelction 14

I agree with Jim Cole to a point, when he states if I rather live in a world that discrimination is illegal, or would I rather live in a world where no one desires to discriminate. In my opinion I wouldn’t live in either one, part of it is if you don’t desire to discriminate than what other desires have you lost? I also believe that people need the chaos in their life to feel a common bound to when things go right once in a while. I don’t believe discrimination is right, but I do believe that once people stop discriminating than that means there will be eternal peace, and I don’t think people can live like that. I believe we all think how wonderful it would be to live in a world where everything is just that easy, everyone loves, and lives, and dies of natural causes. But in reality when everything is handed to you, what are you really living for? Coming back to the topic of discriminating I don’t believe everyone knows what they do, until they do it, and once they’ve done it their used to it. For example, take cell phones, once you have a cell phone and a couple of months go by, a new cell phone comes out, then you want another cell phone, and the many months go by, and the phones just replenish because that’s how our economy works, we don’t want what’s old we want everything knew, and up to date. I also believe that, that’s how it works with discrimination, but discrimination in the example of a cell phone, once the group who is being discriminated has lost of interest, then they discriminate someone else, and it continues. Of course the discriminating never stops, it’s who they discriminate that changes, and not everyone goes along with this change, because reality is most people who discriminate have been passed down with that hatred for generation to generation, and they don’t even know why they discriminate against that group, they just know to do so is to fit in, and no one wants to be left out. Another part of discrimination is what you believe in, and that is what the generation passed down from generation accounts for, but they only give you half the part, just because they believe it, doesn’t mean you half to. Believing to discriminate because they do, means that they have some facts that you believe in, there for you will discriminate as well. As for your vales, it’s passed on from what your parents taught you, into what you believe is right and wrong. For example having your son or daughter forbidden to date an African American, this is a side effect of your value; because you think sense you have such high expectations that if she date’s someone of an African American decent then it will cloud her judgment. Your attitude is where your values and beliefs are put into one and acted upon people.
