The W 10 deals with two topics. Topic 1Race and Ethnicity, topic 2 is Gender.

Topic 1

Ethnicity is determined inherently and acquired. In acquired, Ethnicity is determined by social characteristics that nationality, tribe, religious faith, shared language, shared culture, shared traditions. Race is determined inherently. In other words, will inherit parents ' race that skin color, face shape, hair color.

People are wary that looks something different me and To determine if it is superior or inferior than herself. Because of this will create racial discrimination. Racism is divided into level - individual racism, structural racism, cultural racism, historical racism, color blind racism. I think there is no racial gap. If there is racism, we will help a poor race and we should not be ignored. In addition, racial discrimination is to ignore a basic human dignity and tread down a human’s right. Racism is immoral, therefore, very bad crime.

Topic2

Gender and sex looks the same and different. gender is associated with society, sex is associated with biology. To be more specific, sex is a word used to distinguish between the XY chromosome and the XX chromosome and Gender is a word that represents the behavior pattern of sociologically distinct people.

There are many theories about gender. For example, Gender Socialization, Structural Functionalism, Conflict Theory, Symbolic Interaction, Feminist Theory etc. I will talk about Structural Functionalism and Conflict Theory. Structural Functionalism says that the division of roles between men and women is to maintain a stable society. In Conflict Theory, however, I have the opposite opinion of Structural Functionalism. In Conflict Theory, the role division between men and women argues that men have more power than women, so men play a more favorable role than women.

Question

Why do Koreans ignore Southeast Asian people Koreans knowing that racial discrimination is bad?
