Race & Ethnicity (25)

This class has taught me that race is a very serious concept. Its both real and imaginative but the consequences of how it is applied its ascribed to people, can have a very detrimental effect. Race is the kind of subject matter that is hard to discuss, its even more intense to internally digest on your own terms. We as human being all have developed our own thoughts and feelings concerning race and ethnicity, its our words, actions and intent that has the real power over making this social construct of race bare the most meaning. Disputes over race has had very bad turn outs throughout history such as; wars, genocides and discrimination race hatred is just like poison. This class taught me how to open my mind, and think about things from other peoples perspective and realize that these issues of race and diversity in general is all over the world, not just in America. I know in order to make things better I have to start with me. I have to be sure that I approach each individual with the same respect I would want them to have for me. I don't know what the future of race relations will be, but I know I have hope that it can get better. This class has taught me that through educating people, (people who want to learn) about the issues things can get better. I have enjoyed this class thank you all for sharing with me in this learning experience. Best of luck to you all.
