Violence and Discrimination

    I would like to make a small introduction about this subject that has been considered priority in our country, because nowadays, people are worried of many actions that some persons do, violate the integrity of people. I consider these events don’t have to occur. We are in a different era with modernist thoughts so we can do the difference and make a change. First I will mention some ways that people with their acts discriminated other persons.

   

   Many years ago, not only Costa Rica was a country with discrimination. What I mean is that around the world have performed actions that governments make to keep their people in command and generates discrimination. Some governments feel higher and they need ‘’strategies’’ for keep people doing what they feel good for their country. For example: one case very popular that occurred long times ago were the World Wars, the first and the second. Both were extremely terrible, because caused material losses and human lives and not only that. Persons who were victims, were psychologically affected by the way that they were killed and discriminated, especially Jews.

   

   We can include many types of violence and discrimination for example: when men attack his partners and we can’t ignore that women can also harm too. Even many times people discriminate people who are sick, especially with AIDS. They think that, if you have some relationship with these persons you can get infected, but it’s not true. Only, if you have intimate contact with these persons. You can do the difference and integrate these persons into society.

   

   On the other hand, the salary has been a problem because, women are still paid less than men. It´s shocking because all people are equal as indicated our constitution but don’t apply what it says. Is contradictory women had to fight for many years to get what they have today for example: the power to vote, but they still fight to obtain equality that they deserve in the society.

    

   Finally I could mention many examples of discrimination and violence but could be a lot of information. What you need to do is to promote equality in all aspects: age, pregnant women, nationality, color of skin, religion, sexual preference and so on. Demonstrate that you can do the difference.  The world has to implement peace and love as used to say hippies and if you assimilated this phrase is true. I invite you to create a world without discrimination and violence and you can see smiles around you instead of sad faces.
