The concept of race is not science.
As a society grows individuals try to find comfort in groups that share
something in common with them. The larges problem of this concept is that
groups discriminate others. By distinguishing others as superior the less
popular ethnicities and races are treated as minorities. These are the truths
of the social classes and the prejudice to those who are different.
Race is a set of traits that are recognize by others. There are
different social races that expand from there are 2 races to 200. The main
theory is that there are three race groups the Mongoloids, Engrains and Caucasoid,
but it does not apply to all the individuals of the world. In the other hand ethnicity are the people that share
opinions that distinguish them turning them into an ethnic group once others recognize
them. Many concepts of races and ethnicities cause the division in a society
the concepts of a minority group is created based on the idea that they are
less so they can be treated differently.
Once the minority group of an area
is established socially it becomes a trend to discriminate them based on their difference to the dominant race or
ethnicity. There are two types of discrimination legal and institutional
discrimination the only differences are that one would be punished and the
other is allowed. Way individuals create the weakness or bad reputation for a
group is with stereotypes to create a
concept of those individuals so that the rumors become true caused by the self –fulfilling prophecy effect. This is why racism exists, to solve it the groups must be allowed to be understood
and incorporated, because the minority groups are the scapegoats for the problems because they are different.
There are many minorities in the
social classes, races ethnic groups and economically the main reason for their existence
is that they are different and unpopular. Cultural
pluralism is allows cultures to keep traditions, allowing them to maintain their
identity. This facilitates their assimilation
because they can share it without being out cased. The problem is that some segregate the minorities with laws, de jure segregation, or with informal methods,
de facto segregation. These are methods
of subjugation in some ways it is
like mental slavery. In the worst case
this leads to genocide or ethnic cleansing. The five minorities
of the USA are the black, Hispanics, Asian, Native American and white ethnics
which are those that did not share the same beliefs as the English.
The truth of how the social
structures divide only to ensure inequality is destructive. The more it is
understood the better a society can prepare to neglect its growth. Every
ethnicity has its truths and knowledge that deserve respect. Sooner or later
the inequality will cause revolutions in the society that tend to have
violence. So less violence and more unity for the future this way we can see
the past a judge and analyze the why.
