After thinking about the week 4 topic over night I've decided that I don't believe prejudice against groups will ever end. Everyone is different and some people cant except that everyone is not just like themselves. Rather meaning to or not, people judge one another. I myself am guilty of doing this from time to time. Even young kids are starting to pick up on this concept. They are judging one another based on their clothes and the most advanced toys each others has. Kids don't enjoy just playing outside together anymore. This is being carried out through at a young age and developing even more as the kids continue to grow. I think the problem will continue to get worse if parents are teaching their children to value possessions this way.



Something that we all do self consciously is criticise and judge others. I think all humans were born with with the desire to judge other people. But their are some people who take judging others to the extreme. Everyone is different in their own way, not one person was made the same. Some people just cant accept this concept of other being different and take it to the next level. One group of people who has faced extreme criticism in the last few years are homosexuals. Although, I don't agree with this lifestyle, I don't think it effects my life in anyway.
If this lifestyle makes someone happy, they should be able to live without being judged or persecuted. Many times when a person has authority for the first time the thought of power goes to their head. They become consumed with ruling and making decisions, until whats best for the people is not important.
