Discrimination is a big subject nowadays! People are being cut out just because of their skin color or gender. Why would that even be a thing? I mean why would someone do that, it’s just stupid. We are all humans and in someway have a lot in common. Because discrimination exists people are treated differently and people see others differently. It changes our identity!

I hate that discrimination even exists. I don’t like that people are treated differently than others. For me there is now better and worse. I once experienced this happen, I was waiting at the bus stop and a bus came, two people were standing there one was white one was black. But the problem was that the bus was completely full only a few more would fit . And then the black wasn’t allowed to go in but the white was. I mean WHAT! that clearly showed discrimination.

In the picture that I put for this theme is you can clearly see the answer to our question. Two white people (fingers) are pointing and making fun of a black man (finger). And they are just doing that because he is black! In that case YES discrimination influences our personal identity.

For example if a white person describes someone else who is black would they see them selfs over him or will he say we are both the same except the look but that does not matter. That what you normally say! but when discrimination comes to play it is the exact opposite! PERSONAL IDENTITY this is what everybody has, mostly it is how you look, your characteristics, and who you are in general. Threw discrimination the personal identity changes for effected people. Because other people see you differently and would also treat you differently. Would you do that?Would you treat someone differently just because how they look. That isn’t fair is it?

Even though we are all humans in one way we are different but that is not something why people should be treated differently than others. DISCRIMINATION CHANGES PEOPLE SEE THINGS AND IT CHANGES WHO YOU ARE. EVERYBODY IS EQUAL! What do you guys think should discrimination destroy personal identity or should we all have our own personal identity? Leave you opining and thoughts down below. Discrimination changes lives of others!

In some countries their tradition includes a forced marriage. As the name already says, forced marriage is when two people have to marry, age doesn’t matter, and who you marry also doesn’t matter, it is (forced). This is a thing in many countries but it is against the law and should not be done. This poster clearly shows that it is a problem, in society. I agree with this poster, and also think that everybody should have their own right and are not forced to do something. This poster also shows that a forced marriage is part of a tradition and that the woman in the picture doesn’t have the choice, over what she is doing.

Forced marriage is not good, even thought it is a tradition for some people, it is harmful for the ones that are involved. I think that this tradition should not be continued in every country. For the person that is in this situation it is hard and they have to face a lot of things!

Pressure, is a big aspect in this topic. I think everyone of you guys have experienced pressure and know how it feels. And in this case the cause of pressure is not knowing what to do and how to feel, there are too many things going on in your head. In this poster you can also see that in the background there are a lot of messages from people. saying that she has no choice and that it is important for their tradition. These texts show what is going on inside her head. I think this is nit good to put so much pressure on a woman, just because of a tradition. I and you guys also have experienced pressure, it is terrible!

Cruelty, this is how I feel about this topic. I think that it is not good for their later life and health. Forcing someone to marry at a young age, and someone that you don’t love is, cruel to the person that is effected. It is not good for a person to marry at young age, to be pregnant at a young age is dangerous for their body. But it is not fair that others choose who they marry. This is a cruel tradition. And in my opinion, even thought it is a tradition it has to be stoped.

This tradition is against the law and against the human/child rights. Every child should have a good childhood and live their life as a child.
