Becoming A Better Nation :: social issues

Becoming A Better NationAs an American citizen, it would be easy to say we should sanction both haleness and diversity, but, in truth, it is almost impossible to appliance such a great idea. Our nation would be a utopian society if we could implement both global or nation-wide unity while keeping our citizens diverse. Unfortunately, its an oxymoron like saying were all al unity together. Part II The Dream Answer A. Utopia We could always take each individual aside from all they knew and brainwash them into believing that everyone was created equal, allow 10 year olds to vote ripe the same as 90 year olds and 45 year olds, and create family units of brothers and sisters who are of all different ethnicities. Then our nation would have both unity and diversity We could erase all those years of slavery, deception, and racism by never thinking of it again Wow. Wouldnt that be lovely?Unfortunately, we dont rest in dreams. You see, even if we were able to rob citizens of their United States freedoms and brainwash them, still our nation would have our racists, and wed lack both unity and diversity coexistent as one. Racism is the reason we cannot have diversity and unity. Now this is because of the meaning of this word racism. Part III Racism A. Opinions Now, lets think of this logically What is racism? Now when we want to find this out, duh, we go to the dictionary and what more famous than our trusty (and dusty, in my case) Websters Dictionary? Rac ism (r siz em) n. 2 whatsoever program or practice of racial discrimination, segregation, etc. based on such whimseys rac ist n., adj. The main word in this definition is the word beliefs. A belief is not based on a fact its based on a personal opinion. How can you make everyone not have personal opinions? By brainwashing them? Racism never ends. Therein lies our problem with full unity. Part III Racism B. Expression(s) We all look different, but how do we see different? By expressing ourselves. Some people are racist some people are creative. Everyone has their own way of being themselves and this is what makes the world diverse. No one is exactly like his or her best friend, neighbor, spouse, or even one of his or her parental units.
