ENGLISH ESSAY ‘racism’ FROM 675
TO 700 WORDS
Racism could be a belief that sure races of
individuals are, by
birth and nature; superior to others. Racism divided the world
into superior and inferior classes. This belief is practiced commonly around
the world. Racism is believed to be the primary determinant of human traits and
capacities and the racial differences tend to make a particular race superior to
others. It is one of the world’s major issues today. Racism exists in our
schools, colleges, workplaces, public areas, etc.
Racial discrimination is often used to describe the
differences between two human beings on the basis of ethnic or cultural basis differences.
Other parameters like skin color, facial features, nationality, religion,
caste, etc., also from the basis of racial discrimination. Racism is
usually understood as either belief that totally different racial teams are characterized by
intrinsic characteristics or skills which some such teams are thus naturally
superior to others,or
as practices that discriminate against members of particular racial groups. Discrimination or hatred based on race is a
clear reality in our society that affects all people. Although, racism is a
social evil that continues to shatter and destroy lives of the people. There
can be various causes and effects of racism in this world. Each individual
experiences racism in some or the other form which affects his life differently.
Racial
discrimination is practiced usually in any country towards the immigrants who
have come to settle in their country and are taking away their employment
opportunities. Many cases have come up where Pakistanis have been victimized of
racial discrimination's in various countries. In the recent times, many
Pakistanis are getting bright job opportunities in various countries and thus,
these countries like Europe, Australia, and America have realized that
Pakistanis are taking away the jobs which ideally should be given to their
countrymen. Thus, the cases of racial discrimination against the ‘blacks’ are
common around the world.
The
effects of racial discrimination do not even spare children and so educational
institutes like schools and colleges also show racial disparities in giving
admissions. Taking a
child’s right to find out is
inappropriate, and whole wrong simply because of their race.
Racial discrimination based on caste system
has been very popular in Pakistan in the early ages. The people of religiously
superior class and caste labeled the lower caste as untouchables and this
unhealthy practiced continued for ling time. Racial discrimination did not
allow them to seek admissions in good schools, work places, government
positions, etc. This all lead to the reservation policies.
Effects
of racial discrimination have a strong impact not only on the individual or the
group who faced it, but overall on the society. It leads to frustration and
anger among-st the whole race. Further, it sometimes results in protests,
quarrels, and violence, riots in extreme cases.
The
time has come that we as youngsters and future citizens of our country start
realizing the evils of racism and try to control it on individual levels. As of
now, there is no particular solution to this problem as people are afraid to
discuss this issue openly. This is because it sometimes leads to extreme
violent conditions and disturbance in the peace of the society and country.
Racial
discrimination can be largely controlled and stopped by the education
community. There is an understanding in the education community that it is
essential to provide equal opportunity and access where everyone is treated the
same. Racial and ethnology
cultural heritage square measure valued, and an understanding and appreciation
of variations in
gender, ability, values, lifestyles, and language square measure inspired.
The
governments of various countries and United Nations together are working to
control this issue. Thus, the Committee on the Elimination of Racial
Discrimination is the first body created by United Nations. This organization
is called CERD (Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination).
On
the individual level, and as responsible citizens, we should always be alert
and aware to avoid getting victimizes by
racism, but wherever it is seen happening, we should take desired actions
required to control and stop racial discrimination.
