Discrimination Due to Racism

THEME DISCRIMINATION c all(prenominal)able to RACISM The scars of contrariety on inn as a self-colored and plenty as individuals. Discrimination has ca utilise a lot of sufferings on our the owing(p) unwashed and ancestors in many ways just about the piece which scars lives of hatful from propagation to generation as well as affects individuals and company as a whole.I set out chosen a range of societies by selecting the textual events, Dawn Raids play-script write by Oscar Knightley, Freedom Writer depiction directed by Ric aphonic LaGravenese, Othello play-script compose by William Shakespe atomic number 18, Black similar Me novel found on a true story written and experienced by potty Howard wire-haired pointing griffon and The Unt out of date Story of Emmett Louis till told by his cause, Uncles and cousins presented by Top infotainment Films. These texts explore a wide range of societies including Black Ameri pottys, bloodless the Statesns, Africans, peac eable Islanders, pertly Zealanders, Asians, Latinos and other cultures too.These texts help reveal how discrimination scars society and slew as individuals. What do we see in the text that portrays discrimination? As depicted in the play script Dawn Raids, we atomic number 18 introduced to around racialist polices in New Zealand who stopped br aver concourse on the streets a scrambleg them for passports in search of over stayers. These racist polices only picked on brown faces that they assumed were Samoans, Tongans, or Fijians. They even stopped Maoris asking them what bucolic theyre from, be handle bid over stayers in their own country.There were Europeans and Asians who were over stayers except polices n forever bo on that pointd them to ask for passports. Polices would crash into peaceable peoples houses early in the morning chasing them with dogs frightening their children, families and their neighbours. They were broken in and embarrassed in front of their neighbour s, their children and worst of all they were being tough badly in their own home. This racist act resulted in around Pacific Islanders were being separated and deported clog up to their Islands in a in truth cruel manner due(p) to their racist aversion towards the Pacific Islanders.This shows that racial discrimination humiliates people and affects them in so many ways and discrimination should be stopped. This type of hatred towards other races is also obvious in the photo Freedom Writer moreover with more races involved, where Latinos, Asians, Black the Statesns and blanched Americans are separated into gangs and are targeted by racist sporting polices. The gangs hate for apiece one other due to their races and backgrounds but the one seemed lower than e reallyone else is the dense people. White racist polices pinned down Marcus for a crime he did not deplume due to his skin colour being char. I sat there until the police came. But when they get on, all they see is a dead body, a gun, and a nigger. He wasted months of his deportment locked up in a cell for crime he did not commit but being dark put him as the killer and so someone had to pay the price. It shows in this text, justice meant someone had to pay the price and someone meant anyone who is not uninfected. White polices didnt care who committed the crime because all they wanted was someone to blame and Marcus was the one unforgiving guy that was around and due to his race and skin colour being threatening he was an easy target to pin the crime on.This text shows that racialism rule over justice and how discrimination can destroy ones life forever. Another text which shows clinging to the belief of discrimination due to racial discrimination scars society and people is Othello, where Iago a jealous white man used racism slurs when he awakens Brabantio with the news that his daughter Desdemona, a white tender lady has eloped with Othello. He used beast imagery in his racist d iatribe against Othello, which is grounded in the idea that black men and womanis in world. so far now, very now, an old black ram is tupping your white ewe. rotateArise awake the snorting citizens with the bell. Or else the devil will grant a grandsire of you. Arise I say. Iago refers to Othello as an old black ram and is tupping Brabantios white ewe Desdemona. He plays on the Elizabeth notions that black men have an animal like hyper-sexuality. This seems geared at manipulating Brabantios fears of miscegenation, between Othello and Desdemona. So due to Iagos racist attitude towards Othello, Brabantio and few others tries to separate Othello from Desdemona. This shows how discrimination can affect love ones and individuals due to discrimination.In contrast Black Like Me a non-fiction novel based on a true story of fanny Howard Griffin, who changed his skin colour to black to try and find out how it look likes to be black. He was called call like nigger and he felt up like an outcast amongst the white people, his own people. He found it hard to get a immense with white people as he gets hatred glares from them but gets loving, warm greetings and invitations from black people. Black people were being pushed aside into hiding, poverty which caused a lot of sufferings for the black society as a whole, all younker and old because of the colour of their skin.This shows that discrimination affected the black society leading them to poverty, misery, homeless and sufferings. The text The Untold Story of Emmett Louis Till shows an identical horrific incident that scarred the Black Society at that time and even up to now in America. A young boy named Emmett Till was brutally murdered in Mississippi, America. Emmett was 14 age of age when he was taken from his uncles house by deuce white men due to the fact that he whistled at a white lady.Emmett loved to play around and had a sense of wittiness which led him to whistling at the white lady which caused his dea th by the hand of two racist white men. This reason for their action was very unacceptable and racist because if it had been a white man who whistled at the lady, the white people nor anyone would do anything but since Emmett was black and not white, he compensable the price of death. These white people had to prove a point that they were captain and they had to prove it by killing a 14 year old boy.Emmetts mother had to keep the casket open to show the world the face of her son and what the white people did to him. The result of the brutal manners that was done was unimaginable and indescribable. Emmetts face was unrecognized by his family and friends but especially by his own mother. His teeth were knocked out and his mother took preen in them because they were the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. There was a massive hole on his head and his mother could see right through. His skull was broken in the middle and his tongue was chop and hanging down.The world attended t he funeral to have a look at Emmett and this angered the white people. They sent racist letters of threats calling names like niggers, savages and treat of house being bombed. This text shows how black and white were separated by racism and how discrimination took control destroying the black society physically and emotionally. How does the context (time, place, social condition and other people) enhance the occurrence of discrimination due to racism? My text consistently displays the social condition, time and places where/when white were banner of all races.A time we now look back and feel embarrassed that it ever happened, a time of suffering, of pain, of struggle and lure but hope was always in front and kept them going. In Dawn Raids this result happened in the mid-1970s to early 1980s during the most embarrass time of New Zealand, where most islanders were being woken up early in the cold mornings at dawn with dogs and flashlights trashing things that came their way, hand cuffed and held in cells. These times do racism easier for polices because they had the authorities to pick on anyone but they chose only to pick on brown faces for over stayers.It was during the time when New Zealand brought Pacific Islanders to New Zealand to fiddle in factories and do hard works and by that it meant that Pacific Islanders had to conform Pakehas and do as they are told. They lived in fear and on a lower floor rack because their lives were being controlled. This shows that discrimination affects and destroys lives of the Islanders and it should have been prevented and stopped. In Freedom Writer is based on a time where whites were still superior to all races and black being the lowest of them all and a time in America where black people were blamed for almost every crime.This show a time where freedom was deprive of the non-white people due to racism. Othello is a text that was modeld by the occurrence of racism through words of hatred, jealousy and a time wh ere people debated in strange things concerning the devil, more apparitional believers and ironlike Christian faiths. Iago refers to Othello as the devil even though Othellos Christian, as indicating that black were evil and that the devil often took the form of a black man, which as to make Othello seem as something miserable and should be treated like an animal.These racist words of Iago were used to persuade Brabantio that it is impossible for Desdemona to hail in love with Othello because of his race. This shows a time where Othellos race was seen as something not desirable or wanted. Othello is similar to Black like me where in accordance with social segregation of time, finding a job for black people was difficult and hard. They couldnt find a restroom or cafe allowed for black to enter and use. This shows a time in America where black people were neglected of their needs and social involvement because of their skin colour.According to The untold story of Emmett Till and its devastating incident, that occurred during the time of the white being superior to black and bondage still seen around, black people were seen lower than whites and other races. Black people would be treated like animals and white people would get away with it. it shows a time where black people at that time still had no protection from the law, a time where they werent yet allowed to vote or speak their minds. This made racism worse for black people because they had no say in anything, due to most of them being brought up in the culture of slavery.So, in these texts it shows how the context can enhance the occurrences of racism shown through discrimination and why discrimination should be stopped. Why do people discriminate (including those in the texts)? There is no single, simple answer to this question. To begin with, it seems to be a human trait to dislike and distrust anyone we perceive as being polar. It also seems to be a human trait to judge groups of people by the a ctions and attitudes of a few and it also seems to be a human trait to think that what we believe, how we live, and what we are is the only right way to believe, live, and be.People are not born racist and they hear this behaviour from their family, friends, and other eventful people in their lives. This is a personality disorder, I believe, based on a persons lack of self-worth. During the years of Affirmative Action (employment preference condition to blacks) in America, many non-blacks were passed over for promotions and jobs which they considered rightfully theirs and this caused a great ask of bitterness. This particular program has not been around for many years, but elder workers probably recall it clearly and still hold a great deal of resentment, like wise shown on the text Black Like Me.Some peoplediscriminate due to ones skin colour being diametrical from theirs, backgrounds and where theyre from. It shows that white people discriminate black people because they beli eve that they are superior and they can do anything and get away with it without punishments. In Dawn Raids it shows that polices discriminate because immigrants were getting bigger and better in New Zealand and plus they didnt need them anymore they had no use for them any longer.That was a selfish and unloving way, of how discrimination worked. Iago in Othello was totally under the influence of jealousy and hatred towards Othello, which resulted in a very tragic event of deaths and broken hearts and trusts between the two lovers, Othello and Desdemona, together with the help of religious faith and beliefs. In The Untold Story of Emmett Till it shows that the white society discriminates basically because of skin colours and ethnicity together with the echoing background of slavery from years ago.Similar to Freedom Writer it shows that students discriminates because of things that happened in the past, stories told by their fathers, their brothers, sisters and mothers. They kill se parately other and fight against each other even to death, shooting each other down because of the fact that their backgrounds and ethnics are different, they believe in different things and their past experiences due to racism and racial-hatred. Hatred and fear of others being superior or overpowering them made discrimination stronger but less do they know that they all have a lot in public than they know of.So discrimination should be stopped because it is unfair, unloving, painful, sorrowful and straight inhuman-like and lets scrape up together and try make a difference for our next generations. evidence People discriminate for many reasons fear, envy, desire for power or a need to disassociate them from others but especially because of racism. Racism is and will always remain a central issue which is heard, seen and recognized in most countries, in societies and amongst individuals which causes a lot of sufferings.These issues of discrimination scars every aspect of economic al cultural and political life by overt or blind racism acts, either in offensive loud bang or in a subtle manner. In many ways discrimination due to racism blur the line of accepted and unaccepted social norms, that to destroy and subjugate others either through perpetuation of physical abandon or words is a phenomenon as old as time. These actions wounds societies and people as individuals which healed but left scars that will never blow over or forgotten.What is disconcerting are the facts, figures and the damages caused to an individual and society as a whole. Painful tortures done behind doors and are swept under the rugs without others knowing or recognizing the damages. Hundreds of years ago people have paid a price for being racially different, tortured, and subjugated or killed, despite the advancement in culture, science and technology. People have been categorized and assort which made discrimination easier. The root of the trouble lies in our physical or cultural differences which involves skin colour, anguage, religion or tribe, hence the solutions too comes from this problem of being different. We should fit to love the different cultures and whenwe meet people and learn about them we are really all just the same. I have vigor tolerance for racism because it has resolved nothing for as long as racism has been, and its the likes of JFK, Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr, losing their lives for these very principles to make one realize that true people are terrified that wars that should never have been, will be ended and there will be comparability for all races of man.We should learn from these great men and strive to get along together quite than to fight with one another. I believe that by accepting and possibly celebrating differences is just one way of educating ourselves on these differences of cultures, and just maybe, a zero tolerance towards racism as an individual or society as a whole could pave the way for less of it and try make this world a better place, discrimination-free and racism-free for our children, our childrens children.A world where we can all come together as one with peace and love no matter what race, skin-color or country were from, because I believe thatwithout discrimination and racism, the world would be a much better place for our species to multiply and replenish with equality for every man no matter what differences we have. Discrimination and racism should be stop and prevented forever. Dont ignore or avoid the scars of discriminations.
