Race and Ethnicity

The traditional definition of race and ethnicity is related to biological and sociological factors respectively. Race refers to a person's physical appearance, such as skin color, eye color, hair color, bone/jaw structure etc. Ethnicity, on the other hand, relates to cultural factors such as nationality, culture, ancestry, language and beliefs.

Everyone has there own view on race and ethnicity which is completely fine. This semester I focused a lot on this topic which I often find as touchy ground because everyone has a different opinion. I think that the world is becoming better at accepting different races but we still have a ways to go before racism is completely demolished.  People will always judge others that's the way its always been and it is very natural. For now we all just have to live with this evolving world the way it is.

Below I have posted a link to a video on a child's view on race. during my groups presentation we showed a small bit of this clip so now you can watch the whole thing.
