The rise and fall of the laboratory racist
In this article the history or racism is dicussed and imporant questions are addressed. When did this all begin? what is racism? The first known attempt to racism is the holocaust and portraying the Jews as the devil. As time went by the enlightenment better empathsized this concept in bible teachings. As time went by it became more and more of a determine factor in social ranking, separation. As time has progressed into the more modern ages, people disagree with having these feelings, but it is known in a different kind of way. Studies of the human gnome show that a person is even more likely to show similarity with those of different races than those who look very alike. So what makes us think so differently?
Although people may try to deny it ideas are always apparent in ways of analyzing one another. We are all similar however, more similar than those around us. Is there really a difference between us and those around us? Should race play an important factor in our life?
