Introduction to sociology : Race and Ethnicity & Gender
Race and Ethnicity
Racial distinctions are starting from biological factors. Meanwhile, in the past, Cause of slow development speed of civilization, blacks have been dominated by the white people of Europe. Because of that, black received a slave treats, even now there is a tendency that is weaker than the past has been sustained. Not only black, a variety of race has been discrimination. Discrimination when sociological classification, there are various things.Gender
Sociologists, to classify the gender in sociological gender and biological gender. Sociological gender means the behavior of individuals that studied by culture. For example, "obey", "emotional" represents a woman, "calm", show a man of such things as "brave". Discrimination between people in such elements occurs.Opinion
Making people loss with unfair in any point is not good. (Criminals are excluded.) In particular racial discrimination is a problem. The color of the skin, can not be a reason of discrimination. This is because the color of the skin, is only a physical characteristic. For example, it is the funniest thing to differentiate the rabbit of the white and brown. Because it is all cute rabbit.However, discrimination of gender is a little more complicated. Women and men has a majestic physical difference. In general, men have stronger muscle than women. The plan that to cover the risk of women have to provide. However, we have to care that the plan not to be reverse discrimination about men.
I think you make an interesting point about the rabbits. Although rabbits in general are cute, some people do prefer a certain colour or even species of rabbit to the other. Judgement based on physical appearance is quite inherent in people, as can be seen in Korea's culture, where a person's appearance is taken very seriously. I don't think society can ever get rid of this unfair phenomenon, because judgement based on appearance allows us to assess people from afar, to determine whether they are safe or interesting to interact with. Getting closer and understanding what is on the inside takes effort and also a bit of risk. It is much easier and safer to judge from afar.
