“Micro-Activity #7: Research topic

Racism or Racial Bullying

The topic I chose is racism or racial bullying. Racism is one of the most popular problems in our society nowadays. In 2020, there were lots of racism cases happening in your world and it is still going on. About this topic the first question that comes to mind is, what is racism? What is racist? Why are people racist? How racial bullying impact our society? How can people prevent racial bullying? In this case some people were treated unfairly and differently because of color ethnicity, nationality or race. That’s why others didn’t feel safe and comfortable outside. They were scared and discriminated against. I thought it is interesting because in this topic, we know about what is the current situation in our society, why racist are doing this, how can it affect on other people, how can we solve this problem, how can we fight or speak up for this crime and will the government take any step for this problem etc. That’s why I picked this topic.

    Sabah,

    Although it seems like a simple question– “Why are people racist?” is an extremely complex one. You will be able to find a lot of different sources to address this general question. The key to this assignment is going to be to decide on your focus.

    In other words, do you want to look at the psychological reasons behind why people are racist? Or how people learn to be racist? Or how racism in America is different from or similar to racism in other countries?
