In this post, I am going to
talk about an interesting concept for social sciences, a problematic and
controversial concept because the globalization has allowed the international integration
from the interchange of a lot of points of view around the world. I'll talk about discrimination.
Obviously, the people around the
world do not always agree –probably, they will never come to an agreement to get
one opinion and to make the same decisions-. Due to the variety of cultures,
the variety in the way people solve problems depends on the particular visions
about how they do things (a global world, a democratic world seems like an utopia). This could be the principal
reason because people discriminate.
For that reason, when we think
about the topic of “discrimination” we always think about what we need to do to
stop it. We can’t always have the same thoughts, but we could try not to discriminate
other people points of view. This is an important mission for the educational
system, where the people should learn to listen and respect each others
opinions.
We discriminate when we don’t
listen to others; we discriminate when we exclude another people because of their
age, sex, religions, ethnicity, social and economic status. We have to begin to
accept diversity, we can’t continue discriminating something because that “something”
doesn’t agree with our particular visions, we have to teach values like
tolerance, respect and solidarity.
I’m always been functionally
integrated in this society, practically I’ve never felt discriminated but I
have known people that had been discriminated and I sorrow about that, it’s a
shame that people keep doing this practises… I think that this had to stop now, for a solidarity and tolerant world!
Those are principally my ideas,
thanks for reading,
Santiago
