Oh~Great Spirit, keep me from ever judging a man until I've walked in his moccasins.

To be honest, this unit makes me think a lot. For the reasons, in China, girls are always in the lower position. Unfortunately, I was treated in that way by the old. I always believe that girls are totally the same to boys and even in some situations, girls are superior to boys. Discrimination should not appear at this world or we can say in our close life, but in fact, it will exist forever.

I do not know what factors cause people to discriminate others, history? culture? gender? nationality? nature? education? any of the other reasons? Everybody has the same rights, it's unfair to be treated like that.

But in a real world, discrimination might be happen at any time in any places on any persons. As what we saw in the video, blue eyes and brown eyes changed by the atmosphere around them whoever they are adults or kids. For the devided class, students really experienced absolutely opposite situations by judging their eye-color. They know what was treated in different situation. Their feelings changed greatly for just one day. But for these persons, they knew how's the feeling and would never discriminate any one.

Judging a person cannot just from their outside but inside. These children they have felt others situations so that they have been doing well in their lives in this field. Standing on other side before you judging a person, take a thinking of theirs' situations. Then it will be more fair. I think that's want the topic sentance means. OH~GREAT SPIRIT, KEEP ME FROM EVER JUDGING A MAN UNTIL I'VE WALKED IN HIS MOCCASINS.

Hi Jarno,
Actually, the discrimination against the girls and women is a common problem in our world, even in my country, so i think we, the new generation "boys or girls", have to fight this problem because simply we believe that we are similar in everything. Not only the discrimination against women but also every way of discriminating have to vanish from our world to live in peace......
