Why we should not discriminate: Discrimination is negativity judging someone or a group of people based on things such as their colour, cast, creed, gender and gender orientation, age, physical and mental abilities etc. This cruel judgement affects people’s everyday lives and how they live everyday as it severely impacts the way they are treated, looked at by society and how they feel about themselves. Many people have lost their lives as a result of this cruel judgement and behaviour of other members of the community, they could have lived good lives to help the community and the world, they didn’t have to die. Discriminating against someone is worse than bullying someone as bullies come and go, this will not last their whole lives. Bullying is a short term judgement of someone, it is based on things they can change for example their athletic or academic abilities. Discrimination is based on things that people cannot change for example their skin colour or their ethnic background, this lasts for their entire lives. In modern society, we need to support each other to tackle global issues such as global warming, world hunger, homelessness and water crisis in developing countries, we have learnt this in many different classes. How are we going to end these issues if we are busy discriminating against innocent members of our society? There is a saying: “it is okay for 100 guilty people to escape the wrath of justice however not a single innocent person should be punished, why punish these innocent people just because of their colour, caste, creed? There are many laws and rules enforced in modern society so that there is justice for everyone, discriminating against others is doing injustice to them so why discriminate against others? IT IS A WRONG THING TO DO! To make global progress, to right the wrongs of the previous generation we need to work together as the generation of tomorrow. How will we do this if we are judging others? So we should not discriminate against others, instead, we should accept people as who they are, this is why we should not discriminate against others.
Ways to minimize Discrimination
Now we will talk about ways to minimize discrimination in our school and communities. The ways in which we plan on enforcing to minimize discrimination in our school and communities are:
Spread awareness
Support each other
Social experiments
Social interaction
Community involvement
Interclass interaction
Develop non tolerant policies
Spreading Awareness
Discrimination is essentially a social problem, the best thing we can do is educate people about the situation so that they know the negative affects of this cruel judgement which will prevent them from discriminating against others. The negative effects of something often caused as a result of someone else’s actions is not often understood by the person who causes the negative actions in the first place, we need the people who discriminate against others to understand the effects of their action. This can be done by education everyone by spreading awareness amongst the public. People would also understand the severity of discriminatory behaviour and they would not support this kind of behaviour or engage in it. This is a social problem and requires society to take steps towards solving it, the first thing and the best thing we can do is spread awareness so that everyone is educated and is aware of the situation.
Social Experiment
Social Interaction
Social experiments determine how people are being treated within their school and communities and how they see others being treated in their communities. People have this feeling that they are part of a society where people aren’t discriminated against much or bullied a lot however the experiments can show the public how this is not the case, this further educates the people about the severity of discrimination and how everything does not run as it may seem. Some experience can also revile how people treat others or how they feel about others in their communities so that the problem in identified and can be solved. Further Interaction or open mindedness can be promoted to solve any negative feelings that people have about themselves and each other. These experiments can help educate the public and figures of authority who are tackling the problem
Support Each Other
Why we should not discriminate
Community and Inter-Class Interaction
Getting involved in the community and interclass interaction will make people of different ethnic backgrounds, colour, race etc. Interact with each other, this will allow people to get comfortable with interacting with everyone. Some people are not comfortable with interacting with other groups of people, this can be one of the causes for discrimination. One of the main reasons why people aren’t comfortable with other people is because they may listen to stereotypes, some stereotypes instill fear within the person preventing them from interacting with other people. The person, not knowing what to do will unknowingly make bad feelings against some people which will lead them to discriminating against these people. When people interact with one another, they will have experience working with these people they the person may have negative feelings about, these negative feelings will then go away because the person will realise that there is nothing wrong with these people. To make these people comfortable with interacting with one another, would mean to reduce discrimination.
Don’t be the bystander, take action. When we see our peers being discriminated against, we shouldn’t just watch as they are being abused, we should take action by standing up against the person who is discriminating against our peers. Supporting the victim will not only help them but will give them a sense of hope and happiness that people are supporting the victim. They will know that everything will be fine soon and that people are at their side ready to help them, they will not be discriminated against. This raises the victims self esteem and makes them more brave, encouraging them to fight for themselves which is exactly what is needed to stop discrimination. This also instills a fear in the person who is discriminating against others because they would know that people are not tolerating discriminatory behaviour which will prevent them from discrimination against others. This will help minimize discrimination.

Our Slogan
Our slogan “Why Show Hate? Its Never Too Late, Do Not Discriminate” has a rhythm to it as the key words “hate, late and discriminate” all rhyme. We defined discrimination as “The maximum hate for minimum reason,” our first phrase, why show hate is supposed to represent this definition. We are asking the audience including people who have discriminated against others themselves, Why are you showing hate towards others? this will get the audience thinking about our definition once again which is not only easy to understand but is a very accurate way of defining discrimination, this will result in the audience reflecting upon their actions and actually get them thinking, “Why did I actually discriminate against so and so?” They will then go on to read the next part of our slogan which reads “Its never too late,” this part shows hope to the audience and tells them they can right their wrongs. The previous phrase will get the audience thinking about why exactly did they discriminate against others, upon realising they had no reason to discriminate against others, they will feel ashamed, this is also applicable to members of the audience who even though may not have discriminated against others, they may have been bystanders who could have done something however didn’t meaning they are guilty.
Our Slogan (Continued)
This will get the audience members ashamed of their previous actions, when they move on to the second part of the slogan, they as mentioned before will realise they can still right their wrongs, the audience members to search for an answer as to how they can right their wrongs which pushes them to the final part of our slogan: “Do not Discriminate.” This part spreads the message out about how bad discriminating against someone really is and upon reading our slogan, the audience members will automatically understand that they didn’t have to discriminate against other, they could have stood up for victims of discrimination, how people feel when they get discriminated against and how they can fix their mistakes and make sure they don’t repeat their errors. Our slogan is effective at spreading out the message to people as well as making them understand the severity of this matter, how it feels to be a victim of this and how to stop themselves and others from committing this mistake as well as how to repent for their previous mistakes.
Develop non-tolerate policies
If we were to develop policies that discourage discrimination against people, the people would not discriminate against each other. Many people may feel there is no consequence for their mistake, they would feel free to do what they want.If we develop consequences for this act, policies that do not tolerate discrimination against people, the public would stop discriminating. Developing consequences and working together for one end result will result in achievement of this result. When people do not tolerate discriminatory behaviors, people will not discriminate against others, some policies would discourage discrimination, outline consequences for discriminating against people. An Example would be detention or even suspension if necessary. -prezi.com
