There is prejudice on every corner in every walk of life.?

Question

What is the worse you have experienced or hear of and how do you think it can be resolved?

Answer 1

because there is no tolerance of immigrant culture and traditions with large per capita representation.

the worst I've seen or heard of was New Orleans and the present presidential admin.'s response.....slow and paltry.

Legislation should be passed for basic human rights by all nations; especially, those in close proximity with one another. One right should be not to tolerate racist or non-conciliatory behavior by others. All people should learn and be informed about other cultures and traditions. It makes for a richer and happier life...................

Answer 2

I really don't think it will be resolved. The only way that I can think of possibly coming close to resolving this issue is by educating our children and teaching them about other walks and ways of life. The more educated the child is, the better off that racism will not pass down through them. I've been in a fight in h.s. with a girl that spat at me for no reason and called me a racist, derogatory name-so I beat her *ss. I don't think that it should be this way though. To me at the time, what else was I supposed to do? Now that I'm older, I'm able to pass this up a little better. I have 3 young children of my own and I don't want them to have to result to that behavior. But still-I think racism is more alive than ever before.

Answer 3

I believe I experience prejudice every day. but did you know that your own race can react in this very way as well? I have learned to overlook a lot of people and there ignorant ways. I realize that I can not and will not give them that type of authority over me and how I feel. By doing that I am becoming inslaved by these very people. " to become inslaved by something or someone is allowing that such thing to master you, gain control over you and your thoughts, feelings and action so I just refuse to allow this to happen. If a person wants to acts as if there more or better than I am because of there color, status, or what ever the reason. I allow them to but I don't act ignorant with them.

Answer 4

Honestly, I am aware of prejudice but I do ignore it in my everyday life because I am secure in who I am. People may stare when I walk into a particular place, but it doesn't bother me one bit because i'll engage each of them in a conversation that will surely crush any stereotypes they may have. I actually enjoy doing this and have done it often.

Prejudice cannot ever be resolved because it is in our nature to judge. All we can hope for is that people will be intelligent enough to know when these judgments are incorrect.

Answer 5

In this article we will explore truth , the first of five human values found in all spiritual traditions (truth, righteousness, peace, love, non-violence). Most people think of truth as simply being honest.

However, the spiritual essence of truth reveals much deeper implications as Sathya Sai Baba, a spiritual teacher explains:

Truth is not merely telling the facts about what you see or hear or know. These are temporal truths. Truth relates to the unchanging reality. It is changeless in all three categories of time: past, present, and future. That is Divinity.

Truth, from a spiritual basis, starts with recognising the unchanging, essential nature of Divinity in oneself and all creation. And this leads to seeing the Divinity in everyone. One spiritual-based executive told us:

There is no difference between two human beings, because we are all creations and manifestations of the same energy, which is God. Even as a child, I could not see any difference between people, no matter what their caste, class or religion was.

And another executive told us:

That fellow who is typing for eight hours is as close to my heart as a general manager. Both are human beings. Both are creations of God.

Just as a warm smile can be understood without words in any culture, truth from this spiritual basis can also be felt and understood across all cultures. Some ways that truth might be expressed cross-culturally are:

*Discerning and following what is helpful to others
• Seeking the wisest action to take
• Connecting heart to heart to solve difficulties without judgements or superior attitudes

Because each of us has a unique purpose and role in life, we will also have our unique expressions of truth. Anand Pillai, who heads a Centre for Leadership called ‘Intrapreneurship and Management Excellence’, shared with us how he expressed truth in his work.

Years ago, soon after he had taken a new position, his secretary told him that an angry vendor was on the phone and asked if she should tell the vendor that he was not in the office. With a peaceful mind, he took the call. After listening intently to the vendor, he promised to call back in 30 minutes after researching the problem.

Then he went to his secretary and explained:

If you say that I am not here, you are only solving the immediate symptoms. What is important is that we solve the source of his problem. We don’t want this man to leave as a dissatisfied vendor.

Within fifteen minutes, Anand discovered the facts of the case and called back. He promised the vendor that when the missing items were received he would be fully paid. The vendor appreciated the truthful way he had been treated, sent the items, and received his payment.

Anand explains the natural results that occurred:

From this experience my secretary gained a clear conviction to solve the problems and not the symptoms. More importantly, neither I nor my secretary will dread his call in the future.

The underlying basis for this leader’s actions was the spiritual connection he felt with his secretary and the vendor. He naturally wanted to resolve the situation for everyone. He knew if he reacted only to the symptoms, he would not become aware of the “full truth” of the situation. By seeking the true cause of the problem, and being honest in his communications, the vendor’s trust was re-established and his secretary became aware of the power of truth.

You might notice in this story how truth is inextricably linked with the other four human values. For example, if the executive had felt mental agitation, he could not have been so dedicated to the “truth.”

Also, you can see how the strength of truth can bring out the other human values in yourself. When you are truthful from a spiritual basis, you will naturally be ethical (righteousness), self-confident (peace), pure at heart (love), and dedicated to equality (non-violence).

Ask yourself: How well am I recognising the unchanging, essential nature of Divinity in myself and all creation? To what extent do I have a clear, objective understanding of “what is” (free from personal opinions, prejudices, justifications, rationalisations and assumptions)?

Answer 6

It will never be resolved in our lifetime. There is just too many things involved in it. Sometime, just ask someone you know if they are prejudice. I bet they say no. Most people do, but if you put them in a cituation they will show their prejudice, especially when it comes to blacks, whites, or hyspanics.

Answer 7

I like tea over coffee. I like blue over red, I like hot over cold...i like blonde over brunette...

those are all prejudices. there are more radical forms of prejudice, like racism...those are the ones that need to be worried about.

Answer 8

Humans are always prejudiced. Only way to resolve it, remove the humans...
