RACISM

Misc texture 1

&#160;In my opinion, a person should not be judged by skin color, sex or religion, because we are all from the same race: the human race. I am an Italian student and, even if we live in different places, I am the same as another student who lives in Africa, Japan, etc. Unfortunately all over the world there have been and still are acts of discrimination in the conflicts of other people . An example is the apparraid in South Africa, with the fact that people could not stay in the same restaurant, bus, university, and even be on the same sidewalk with a person of color. Another example, in addition to the horror of the Shoah, is an event that happened a year ago, where a Chinese citizen was beaten in a room by a gentleman, who accused him of having brought the covid to Italy. I agree with Article 3 and it is right to punish people who have a racial or religious hatred, because everyone is free to profess their religion, be born with a different skin color and come from another nation.

“All citizens have equal social dignity and are equal before the law, without distinction of sex, race, language, religion, political opinion, personal and social conditions.” This is the third article of the Italian constitution, this article is very important for this constitution because still today in the world there is a lot of ignorance and it must be defeated because in the world there must be no prejudices towards people with different skin color or for different language because we are all brothers and sisters, we must all have the same rights. We must say “No more!” to racism, prejudices and malice that is manifesting itself more and more in the world.

I fully agree with the content of article 3 of the Italian constitution, our skin color, or our religion, doesn’t represent us, we all have the same DNA, if a person has a different skin color from ours, or profess another religion, it does not mean that it is bad or that have bad intentions, people with bad spirits are everywhere; it's like an apple, outside it can be red, green, but the fruit and its flavor remain invariable. Still today many people are discriminated against, and I believe that all this is not fair at all, we are all different, this is true, but this is how everything is better! What would the world be like with all people alike?

“It’s easier to break an atom, than a prejudice” - Albert Einstein The test that has been reproduced is called ‘doll test’ and it’s a psychological experiment to test the consequences of racism on black children.From video you can see that children believe that the white doll is good and sweet and istead the black doll is bad and ungly. In my opinion the final affirmation of Albert Einstein is completely right because a ‘global’ prejudice will remain forever or will be very difficult to eliminate.

The article 3 of the italian constitution says that all citizens have equal social dignity and are equal before the law regardless of their sex and color of skin. In my opinion this article is totally right  but it should also be put more into practice because there is still discrimination and differences between black and white people and between women and men.

Article 3 of our constitution reads as follows: "All citizens have equal social dignity and are equal before the law, without distinction of sex, race, language, religion, political opinion, personal and social conditions. It is the duty of the Republic to remove the obstacles of an economic and social nature which, by limiting the freedom and equality of citizens, prevent the full development of the human person and the effective participation of all workers in the political and economic organization, and social issues of the country". By formal equality we mean the assumption that everyone is equal before the law, by substantial equality we mean that these laws must guarantee equality for all, but with some particular regard for the weakest. In our society, there are the weakest, and there are in large quantities, just think of the women who are forced to suffer abuse and violence by their companions, or the immigrants who have found themselves on a boat and to whom the routes of entry into Italy. The closure of the access roads to Italy, for many, meant the end of humanity, where equality is. In light of what has been happening in recent times and putting the text of Article 3 of the Constitution before our eyes, I really believe that each of us should do our best to respect others, to live in a better society.

The article 3 of the Constitution is really important since it well explains the concept of an individual's liberty, of their equality and identity. All citizens are equal under the law, without any discrimination or distinction due to their race, sex, language, religion, political views, personal and social background. The article makes us understand that an individual's liberty and the assertion of identity are not ideas to be taken for granted. The State, for this reason, has to grant them. The equality of people within a state depends on several factors. The need to put this concept in the Constitution took origin after the Fascist period, during which the government changed the law at will and for their own ends. Therefore the article 3 aims at protecting and guaranteeing the citizens' liberty.

United against racism

&#160;“It’s easier to break an atom, than a prejudice” - Albert Einstein Sometimes the prejudices are so strong that they cannot be broken, and it could be easier to break an atom, which is near to the impossible.  In the video you can see some children answering questions about two dolls, a black one and a white one. The prejudices have become so strong that even some children are thinking that black people are bad, they’re not good. The only method we have to finish this and to educate correctly the new generations is to know, knowing is the key to avoid ignorance and so the prejudices, the hate, the racism.

NO Racism In the video two dolls are featured, one with white skin, the other with dark skin. When the children are asked who the bad doll is, they respond by saying that it is the one with the dark skin. In my opinion this is a way to make it clear that small children are "taught" the difference between light and dark skin and it is wrong, no one has any differences. Even today according to everyone, the other is different. I don't think it's fair, because we are all the same and it doesn't depend on our skin color type.

“It’s easier to break an atom, than a prejudice” - Albert Einstein &nbsp; Unfortunately today we live in a world that is based on prejudices, on the color of our skin, on our culture and even on what we wear, but is all this really important to identify who we are? I don’t think this is going to help us understand a person’s values. Just as Albert Einstein used to say, it’s easier to break an atom than a prejudice because a lot of people just look at the people around them and get bad ideas without even knowing the person they’re judging and all this made me realize that few people see with their own eyes and think with their own heads.

DOLL TEST I think that this video is able to make it clear to all the people who watch it that regardless of the color of our skin we are all the same and that it certainly cannot be our skin to decide whether we are good or bad. Also dealing with the subject through the considerations of children makes us understand how already as children we are influenced by what surrounds us. &nbsp;

no more racism
 no more prejudices, 
 no more discrimination
 do not forget what others have experienced.

I agree with Article 3: all citizens are equal before the law and there should be no more inequalities in the world. And I hope that there won't nbe episodes of racism in the future &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; STOP RACISM

In my opinion racism shouldn’t exist, also because it doesn’t even have the right reasons: the fear of the different culture, religion or traditions is just the justification of being racist. Today we judge the people by their origins, their color of skin and more, we see them as bad people, when in real life there are bad people in every part of the world, doesn’t matter their country, their traditions, religion or color of skin. First of all I think that we need to teach this concept to children and teenagers, then we have to break the prejudices there are today. The real problem are the adults, because they grew and lived with that prejudices, and today some of them lead others. For this reason we have to teach the youngest that, yes, we are different, but that doesn’t make us good or bad people, that doesn’t depend on our religion, color of the skin, traditions, the language we speak or something else. We, children and teenagers, are the future of the world, we have to improve it and turn it into something better.

This video struck me a lot because it made me reflect on the fact that even today there are prejudices against black people, even children believe they are inferior only because they are black, only because society requires them to. It's really bad to see these children so demoralized for this reason. We don't have to fight with black people, but with the ignorance that led to racism. Martin Luther King said he wanted to have a future where all people were not known for their color but for their character, today it is still hard to have this world but we can do it if we say no to racism and against all kinds of prejudices
