Effect of Discrimination to Minorities

Minority groups are sociological groups that can reach only the moon but not the stars. They can be categorized into racial, ethnic, gender and religion. They are usually discriminated, separated, excluded, or treated differently by members of the majority groups without justification and rationalization. They suffer extreme magnitude of emotional humiliation which affects their entire being as they grow up. Some people take it negatively where they look down at themselves and even turn themselves into what is perceived by other people for them. But some people view it as a challenge to better themselves and break those stereotypes people have created for them. It is hard to obliterate what has been done and what has been said especially if it gave a psychological impact to those individuals. Unnoticeably, you will just see them succeeding in their respective fields because the impact on them had been tremendously big and that it turns them to be persistent and tenacious enough to prove the people who excludes them wrong.

  3. Everyone has equal right to live well. But it is ture that the society have the issue of discrimination to minorities. I think education must be the most important way to solve this question, because it can eliminate people's thought.

  4. Dexter, you summed up one of the themes in "On Being Black." It seems that the panel members chose to "be persistent and tenacious" in the way they are directing their lives, despite the disrimination they experienced.
