Forms of our ideals

In these readings, it shows that people's  ideas of one another are all from a matter of perspectives. It's all because of how we were brought up in the world. At first, we are characterized at a young age. We can't do anything about the way we start looking like at birth. Life isn't like a character creation scene on a role playing video game. We didn't choose to be black or white, curly or straight hair, or even if we are a boy or girl (Harro 46). It was because of pure luck that we were born as we are.
As we develop during our youth, we hear many people call us many different things. when we are young, we could be called cute, handsome, and things of that sort. However, in this society, segregation is common. A child could notice this in many places throughout their childhood. One place I believe many people notice and learn about the idea of segregation is at a school. In Social Studies, kids learn about Christopher Columbus interaction with the Native Americans. Also, the idea of black people being slaves towards white people based on the color of their skin. They also learn about Martin Luther King and how he lived through a time of violence and civil war just because of black people trying to become equal with white people. Sadly, there is still signs of segregation deep under the surface
One example of segregation being apparent is the multiple cases around that deals with the problem of police brutality. There were many cases of this where the police attack a black man (or woman) and get out free because the police officer(s) appeal of the incident being an act of self defence. The news then announce the question of whether or not it is a sign of racism or not. Flaring up unnecessary controversy between all those who are curious about the topic.
Relating to the topic of the media, there is many reasons to believe that news and social media fuel the people´s thoughts. For example, as we discussed in class, the riots in baltimore this year. If you closely listen to what the news casters were saying before the riots even started, some said things like ¨no riots has occurred as of yet¨. This shows how they were clearly provoking and expecting riots to happen around the city of Baltimore. So, if there´s people to include in the cause of the Baltimore Riots, it's the media.
To conclude, segregation and ideas that root from it can come from many sources. It could be from our parents, with them telling us who to watch out for and the kind of people to respect. It could also be from school, where we learn about segregation and violence that came from it. Thirdly, we could get our ideas from the news, who feed us passive forms of discrimination to make us think badly of an situation
