Just about everyone has experienced bias, prejudice, and /or
oppression that they wished they would have said something in response to a
person’s insensitive remark or stereotypes.
We as a society are often afraid to say anything because of the damage
it can do to our relationships. Being a
victim of stereotype behavior motivated by prejudice regarding ethnicity of a
person close to me left me very sad. The
ability to automatically categorize people is a major superiority of society
based on social and other individualities.
Keep in mind ways of distinct bias, prejudice and/or
oppression which the incident diminish equity can be encounter by incidents in
real life situations as well as movie theater and television shows. Trusting on biases but keeping them in check
involves a tantalizing stability of self-awareness. The most upsetting feeling that prejudice
happen every day, and people believe it does not apply to them. And the reality of it all is stereotypes
might have offended you or somebody you care about. Awareness would be a change in order to turn
this incident into an opportunity for greater equity.
‘The unfinished character of human beings and the
transformational character of reality necessitate that education be an ongoing

isolation or individualism, but only in fellowship and solidarity; therefore it
cannot unfold in the antagonistic relations between oppressors and oppressed.
No one can be authentically human while he [or she] prevents others from being
so.’
