Racism- The Greatest Evil In All Societies
Have you ever judged people because they are from a certain country or belongs to a certain race? Have you
ever felt every eye on you knowing that you are being continuously observed and judged? If you haven’t been
through this, just imagine. How would you like it? Not even a bit, right? So, if you don’t like it, why do it to
someone else.
Racism can raise its ugly head everywhere. It may occur in an active way or a passive way. It may be by
exclusion, leaving people who are different out of social groups and gatherings, not considering their views
and experiences, out casting them aside, calling them names and insulting them. Racism is demonstrated
mostly in behavior and activities that reflect a dislike, abuse, violence directed to a certain community.
Discrimination based on color, clothing, religion or culture is racism. A strong legal community is needed to
protect people targeted by abuse.
Discrimination haunts many people worldwide. It can makes their life worse, full of pain and struggle. It not
only breaks hearts but also wants to make people give up in progressing at work or socially. Loss of a job, loss
of a promotion and such events can destroy morale. They can become reasons for venting out of everyday
frustration and aggression. Legal systems are evolving all the time and in more advanced countries there are
legal protection instruments in place.
Before you judge someone or do something cruel to someone, based on color, country of origin or an issue of
appearance take a minute and think. Would you like to be in their shoes? Please stand where they are. Would
you like to be treated the way you are treating them? The answer is no. Then why do something to someone
that we wouldn’t like to happen to ourselves. Racism is a vice and it needs to be eradicated.
