PART 1: PERSONAL REFLECTION
TOPIC: What is one problem, issue, or need in the world, or in
your own community, that you care a lot about?
Racism is one of the biggest issues in the world, and a lot of
countries are suffering from it. The issue is not new, and we can
see the old history even back in the 13th century. The
classification on the basis of racism is always offending. The
people are made by the same Lord, they have the same organs
even their color and creed are not responsible for the abilities
and talents they have, but still, the world has observed a lot of
differentiation among the people. The problem is prominent in
the United States of America, where more than half of the
population nearly 54% say that race relations have made things
worse. The differentiation between white and black have led the
communities to be made, and it creates an atmosphere of hate
among the people. Back in the 13th century, an amendment was
made in the constitution, and it stated that there will be no

2. slavery from onwards. There were a lot of mixed reviews on the
amendment because it was terrible for some communities to
accept that black people will now be equal to them. If we see
the circumstances in the world, we will come to know that there
is an extreme need to eradicate the concept of racism from the
world. Black people should be accepted and should be given
their rights. There are a lot of heroes who have laid down their
lives in the struggle to see equality in different races. The
differentiation is not only made by the Americans, but it has
been seen in many other countries where the poor and lower
casts are looked upon by others. The world needs to understand
that everyone is important, everyone is equal, and all of us got
equal chances to make the progress and to move ahead in life.
This issue is important to me because being the student and
being the responsible citizen, it is my part of my duty that I
must remind the people that every one of you is important, and
the concept of racism has got no value now. There is a lot of
struggle needed to make it understand and to make it realize to
everyone that racism should be ended. It is destroying beautiful
relationships and friendships. The world is a place of peace, and
it should be made peaceful for everyone instead of promoting
racism.
PERSONAL CONNECTION: Why is this particular issue
important to you? Is there something in your life experience or
academic studies that relates?
This issue is important to me because being the student and
being the responsible citizen, it is my part of my duty that I
must remind the people that every one of you is important, and
the concept of racism has got no value now. There is a lot of
struggle needed to make it understand and to make it realize to
everyone that racism should be ended. It is destroying beautiful
relationships and friendships. The world is a place of peace, and

3. it should be made peaceful for everyone instead of promoting
racism. It has been observed that the people from the lower
casts and low creeds and even the black people made a lot of
contributions in the world. They are not less than anyone. They
are capable of leading the world, and Mr. Obama has
wonderfully proved that there is nothing to do with the cast,
creed, and color, but the capabilities and talents do matter. A
person should be responsible enough and mature enough to
make the world realize that he can do anything to achieve his
goals. That’s why the issue is important to me, and it is not only
me, but a lot of people want this concept to be ended.
Moving on, as far as my personal experience is concerned, the
circumstances have become far better in this century, and both
the white and black people are treated almost equally. The
concept has not ended yet, but there is a lot of attempts to be
made to eradicate the roots of this issue. I have seen many black
girls and boys in the college being embarrassed and being in
inferiority complex due to their color. So, it is our
responsibility to end this concept and to give the deserved
respect and importance.
ROOT CAUSE HYPOTHESIS: What do you think are some of
the root causes of this issue? Explain.
1. The difference in the color of skin as white people looked
upon the black people
2. Ethnic groups are differentiated on the basis of creed and
causes inferior complex in the lower creeds.
3. The differentiation on the basis of wealth and money as the
rich people do not like to talk to poor people
4. The teachings of parents towards children on the topic of

4. racism plays an important role.
AUDIENCE HYPOTHESIS: Based on the causes you have
identified, who would be a good audience for you to try to make
a change on this issue? Why?”
The audience for the issue are government authorities, ethnic
and religious groups, the school teachers, the law-making
bodies, and all the citizens.
RESEARCH QUESTIONS: The next step is research. What are
the three questions related to your issue that you want to answer
during your research? Think of information that might help you
better understand the issue in order to address or solve it.
1. Why racism is being promoted till now?
2. Who are being involved in the issue?
3. What are the attempts to made to resolve the issue?

America 2019. Retrieved from
https://www.pewsocialtrends.org/2019/04/09/race-in-america-
2019/
How can you tell that this is a reliable source?
This is a reliable source because it has provided facts and
figures about the racism in America.
In this column, make a list of the most important facts or
statistics you learned from this source:
1. More than 4 out of 10 people say that the racial
discrimination has not made progress.
2. More than half of the population is of the view that racism
has made the relations worse.

6. In this column, explain in your own words why the facts you
included to the left are important:
It means that efforts are not being fruitful till now, and there is
a dire need to improve the situation and to make the people
realize that these things do not matter.
It means that racism also affect on the relationships, so this
concept has to be eliminated out of the minds of people.
What was the most important thing you learned from this
source? Why?
The most important thing that I have learned is the concern of
people towards the class and racism while being in
relationships. It is quite painful because relations are not to be
judged by color but the emotions and feelings.

7. SOURCE #2: Include APA-formatted citation here, including a
link if applicable:
(NEWMAN, 2018)
NEWMAN, P. (2018). Causes and Effects of Racism in Schools.
Retrieved from Kick Board:
https://www.kickboardforschools.com/diversity-equity/causes-
and-effects-of-racism-in-schools/
How can you tell that this is a reliable source?
The source is reliable because it has discussed the root causes
and different facts that how the schools play their role in
eliminating or promoting the racism in children.
In this column, make a list of the most important facts or
statistics you learned from this source:
1. School funding basically comes from well known and rich
families that promote racism
2. Negative image between black and white is promoted by the
media and affect the minds of children

8. In this column, explain in your own words why the facts you
included to the left are important:
The poor families are unable to provide funds and endowment to
schools due to which their children are looked upon by others.
The media should play a sensible role because the negative
image presented by media has a strong impact on the minds of
children, and its effects are terrible.

9. What was the most important thing you learned from this
source? Why?
I have learned that children are like the seeds, and they get
adjusted as their teachers and parents say or instruct. So, it is
the responsibility of teachers and parents to change the concept
of racism from the lies of children. It is because children have
to lead, and there are the flag bearers, so they should be helping
towards the lower creeds. They need to understand that all of us
are equal. There is no concept of superiority and inferiority.
This concept in the schools can be very helpful and can change
the minds of students. They will be more responsible and will
implement such guidelines in their personal life as well.

10. How can you tell that this is a reliable source?
This source is reliable because it is all about the APA
conference in which the detailed discussion was done about the
causes and effects of racism. Different strategies were presented
by the experts.
In this column, make a list of the most important facts or
statistics you learned from this source:
1. Acknowledge and protect the rights of victims of racism
around the globe.
2. Support such groups socially, morally, and financially.

11. In this column, explain in your own words why the facts you
included to the left are important:
The victims are present in the whole world, and different
communities are affected on a worse note. So, it was
recommended that the things can be made better if the rights of
people affecting from racism are preserved. The people need to
understand that they have rights and they should be given.
Such communities are not given financial support and social
support, as well. They are looked at as filthy creation.
What was the most important thing you learned from this
source? Why?
It is an important role of us to provide with the rights, to do
something financially for them, and the most important thing is
to change their inferiority complex. They must be made realized
that they are important and they will be important for the whole
world.

to different institutes.
