There many problems with racism, prejudice, and antisemitism in our nation. Actions need to be taken to prevent these things from happening. There are many actions you alone, or you with a group of people can take to help stop these things. The Holocaust and the Boston Memorial were big instances in which these terrible things took place. Martin Luther King Jr. fought against these things in his time and help make a change in his time. Nations have a lot of power when it comes to these problems. We need to work together as an individual or a group to help stop racism, prejudice, antisemitism, and bullying. I feel strongly about putting an end to these things so everyone on Earth can live happily and peacefully and continue human development. …show more content…

Little children ran away from their homes over broken glass and through spiky shrubs to get away. Some of the children had to witness their family being taken away and had to leave them behind to save themselves. A lot of them didn’t understand what was going on because they were so young. Not all the kids could get away and some were either killed or taken away to concentration camps. Parents lost their children to the Nazis and children lost their parents. The cost in damages were extremely expensive It was a horrific and grim day for Jews all around the world.
According to Barry Sharge “How can this be in this country, in this city, so near to the graves of patriots who fought for freedom and liberty in this place.” On August 15, 2017 the Boston Holocaust Memorial was vandalized. People were horrified at how heartless someone could be. The families of victims were upset and offended. This was very disrespectful to anybody involved in the or their families. The cost in damages was expensive. This wasn’t the first time the memorial was vandalized. We must take action to keep this level of disrespect from happening

Research indicates that “the “competition” between African-American and Jews has served to trivialize the malevolence which both has suffered” (Newton, 1999). According to L.

  • Compare And Contrast Essay On The Holocaust Vs 9/11

    Imagine sitting at school and hearing that one or both parents have been brutally killed for just being an American, or going through watching an entire religion being picked off and killed just for their beliefs? Even though those two scenarios seem far fetched and even similar, those were very real events that have scarred the human race for years now. The terror attacks of the Twin towers being hit by hijacked planes on September 11th, 2001, and the gassing of millions of Jews, known as the Holocaust, were very similar attacks, but the perpetrators and route taken were very different. Most of everyone is familiar with the german attempts at eliminating an entire religious race group known as Jews, but not many know about the attack that happened on US soil when the same type of attack was committed against americans that were in the world trade center.

  • Racial Slurs In To Kill A Mockingbird Essay

    920 Words  | 2 Pages

    In this world today, hate is becoming increasingly more abundant, especially as it concerns race. Whether it be an unarmed black man shot by a white police officer or the use of racial slurs towards someone, it seems like racism is all around us. In the book To Kill A Mockingbird, it shows a little girl named Scout using racial slurs. Racism is so culturally accepted in the town that it’s okay to use racial slurs such as the N-Word that even Atticus, a lawyer representing a black man falsely accused of rape, uses it a couple of times. Earlier this year, the Ku Klux Klan, a group of white supremacists, held a  violent rally in Charlottesville, Virginia and proved that racism isn’t a thing of the past. In order to combat racism, groups of like-minded individuals with a common goal of making the world a more accepting place must come together to stand up

  • Racism: A Global Issue Desperate for Unity by Andrew Leon Hanna

    1304 Words  | 3 Pages

    Most people would agree when I say that racism is a disease in our society that has been uncured for as long as anyone can remember. Even after the enactment of many anti-racism laws, racism still has not been eradicated. Andrew Leon Hanna from Duke University explains in his article, “Racism: A Global Issue Desperate for Unity”, that racism is a global issue in need of unity. He argues that, if everyone unites in an effort to end racism, we will eventually be able to stop it for good. However, his argument will not work because waiting for everyone to unite is going to take a long time. In addition, there is no way for everyone in the world to unite and fight against this epidemic because there is always going to be someone that has a different view than the rest of the people and will not cooperate. Because of the lack of unity in human nature, more realistic and pragmatic approaches are needed to combat racism.

  • Holocaust Museum Reflection

    197 Words  | 1 Pages

    Throughout my middle school years, my teachers taught me and my class about the Holocaust. We learned how devastating it was and how it affected people from all over the world. I can remember my seventh grade teacher reading The Diary of Anne Frank to us, and how stunned I was upon hearing what her and her family had to endure. She also let us watch the movie based on the book, which gave us an even more apparent outlook on their lives. In the seventh grade, our class went to the Holocaust Museum in El Paso, Texas, and honestly, it was the most real thing I have ever experienced. There was so much information and situations that seemed alarming and undeniably real. The Holocaust Museum serves as a reminder to several people about the events
