Racism
is the problem and cannot be solved until now. Racism is the activity that
involves treating someone unfavorably because of a certain personal
characteristics that different with theirs and he or she married to. Racism can
happen in institution, office and etc. Racism mostly starts by a group of
people.
Racism
can be differentiating in many ways like religion, race, skin color, and etc.
Internalized racism is lies within individuals, examples a belief that you or
others are more or less intelligent. Interpersonal racism is occurs between
individuals, examples racial slurs, hate crimes and so on. Institutional racism
occurs in institutions or systems of power. An example a school system only
concentrates people of skin color most crowded in school. Structural racism is
racial bias among institutions and across society.
Besides
that, racism happens because many people seem to have nurtured preconceived
ideas about the other racial. The racially different person is viewed with
threat and distrust. Besides that, some people think that black color
identified with death, decay and the devil. This is because the superstitious
practice, they believe that when a black cat crosses your path it is a sign of
bad luck. So that, in this kind of preconceived notions will bring a wrong
impression in the mind of people, and it causing them to adopt unfair ways of
segregation (List Crux, 2014).
Moreover,
racism brings a lot of effects to the world, especially the victim. One of the
effects of racism is mental health (Mackenzie, 2016). The victim will feel
fear, stress, depression, angry and anxiety due to they feel isolated from the
world. It can destroy self-esteem of the victim and victim will have trouble to
make friends with others. Besides that, racism will reduce the productivity of
the person. The employee will afraid to go work on every day and lose the
confidence to work in their working field. Therefore, the employee will get
lower performance when the end of the month.
Last but
not least, in today’s modern society, racism issues still exist yet we could
not find a fair way of solving it which including the World Top Nation -
America. For instance, black (African-Americans) fresh graduates are offered at
a lower starting salary and less prestigious starting jobs (Mcelwee, 2015).
It’s absolutely violating the human rights and proven that America is far away
from repressing its racism issues. Moreover, there was an advertisement
released by Intel, which deciphered as the white man is their boss and those
African-Americans are still slaves. It’s overwhelming with the white ideologies
that perceive African-Americans as second rate compared to whites.

In the
conclusion, my group is strongly agreed that racism should not exist in this
world. It is because we all are human beings and we have the same internal
organs and same color of blood and so on. We are live in this different culture
world and we should not against each other, stereotype each other because of
the different from us.
