It is the same situation that happened in Taiwan. There are several dialects that speak in Taiwan. In different region, the way or the pronunciation from the people can be different. In addition, people tend to think that person who live in the north part of Taiwan can pronounce more accurately than the people who live in the south part. Also, people will look down on and make fun of someone, if he/she pronounces words with south accent.
As the example present earlier, I believe that this is the problem that not only happened in the United States and Taiwan, but truly happened in every country. Therefore, the best way to solve the problem is that people should change their point of views and their minds to brace, accept different kinds of dialects. Also, they need to learn how to respect different dialects and different culture backgrounds. In schools, teacher should help students to understand the reason why we have different dialects and help them to learn to respect different kinds of people, regions, and culture backgrounds which are present in our everyday lives. If children learn this basic conception in their early childhood, when they grow up, I believe, it will has less prejudice and stereotypes to the people who from the lower social status or ethnic groups.
