Hey folks...
How are you?...Hope you?re all fine!!!
Well...now, I?d like to discuss about prejudice, and the fight against it...and, to do so, I?ll base this starting post on the following movies:
"Gattaca"
"Bicentenial Man"
"Remember the Titans"
Mankind has been facing prejudice since the beginning of times...and we still have to deal with it...and my question is:
Will we ever be able to end prejudice, in the world?...Where does prejudice come from?Does it come from fear of the other?From a feeling of low self-steem?...Who knows...
In "Gattaca" and "Bicentenial Man", we see a futurist version of prejudice...of course, prejudice may not exist that way in the future, but these movies make us think...Are men always gonna come up with some sort of prejudice?...Why do we always plant the seed of some kind of negativism in the world?...I know there are also a lot of good people, but, sometimes...you know...
Well...then, in "Remember the Titans", we notice the fight of some against the prejudice...we see friendship, courage, dignity, endurance, love, kindness...and, also, anger and other bad feelings...
Yeah...this is a difficult subject...and, then, I sometimes think...Was prejudice created by some kind of "God"(if any exist), to test our capacity to do good towards others, our strength, our courage to help, etc...etc...? Is prejudice any kind of self-protection instinct within the souls of less enlightened ones?
So...How about you? Are you prejudiced? Do you have prejudice of any kind?
How are you?...Hope you?re all fine!!!
