Definitions for my self.


Racism: I consider Racism as a rejection based on a a skin color or a cultural image. For example people might treat you wrong for being a colored person or for being American, even though your race doesn't make you different from the other people in the  world. Even though the levels of racism has diminished there are still high levels of racism all over the world which make life harder for people in certain places. This shouldn't be as it is because  we are all the same no matter where we come from or what we look like. If some one doesn't believe this is true, there are a tun of investigations that prove this right. 

Ethnic Group: I believe an Ethnic Group is culture, is a group of people who share a culture, a past and similar principles. It might also be defined by race, but it not always mean if you are black and you meet someone from the other side of the world and he is also black he will be part of your ethnic group. People who share a culture, similar ideas and way of looking at the world as well as a past make up this group. I don't think this is a really framed or distinct, it is really difficult to identify your own ethnic group because it not something that really defines you as a person, for  my self, but for the eyes of others I really think it is what gives the first thought or  idea of you, even if you are completely different from what the group points out to be. 


Prejudice: this is a judgment people do about who you they think you are based on you culture or ethnic group. This might be a general image someone once created about a group of people and now, if you are form that certain group they will have already an image about you. This are thoughts of people even if they are not true. As the reading says, “ if a person says a Mexicans are lazy is a a guilty prejudice.” This are judgements people make about others without having real notions about who that person really is.


Discrimination: This is when you are acting based on prejudice you have. If you believe a person is a bad worker because  of where he comes from and not hiring him for that image, is discriminating him for the image he has. I believe many people are being discriminated without being known, and once again we must not be judged without having real arguments and bases to do so, because of the lack of this many people are being discriminated for wrong prejudice.
