Ethnic conflicts

Around the word many people has been creating ethnic differences between themselves, this is why we say that this is a common topic that can be seen in today’s society.
How discrimination, religion and prejudice can create ethnic conflicts. Base on differences like social status, economical status, and ethnic conflicts. Sometimes the social status gets affected because people believe that if someone has more money that person becomes superior to the other one. On the other hand there are other people that see differences between them just because they have a different accent, physical expressions, style of living, etc. In reference to the movie Crash (2010), that shows us how we can commonly find discrimination in the word. There was a scene where a Mexican guy worked as a locksmith and he was prejudging as a gang member or a thief. Buy a negligent women who had a high social status and this was because someone came to steal her house.
The movie shows us how is the real life in USA, a nation that was created mostly by immigrants. People usually tend to judge before knowing the other person. I remember a scene in the movie were they show that the accumulation of stress can guide us to become a violent person. Basically the scene show us were a police guy was trying to help a guy who abused of his authority previously in the movie.
Moreover, people create which the limits of the territories mark the diference of razes, because if you are from Nicaragua and me from Costa Rica, in this case there is a diference , even more. Jus because community think that Nicaraguans are citizens who steals , who don’t know like us, but theses things are visualizations from a group of Ticos who received a bad action, so then , they discriminated to Nicaraguans , and other persons generalize , constantly. Although there are bad Nicaraguans, like there are Bad Ticos , bad gringos; there are good people in wherever place, so the way to generalize is wrong. We should to see the people not like group fate like a person , and try to know them, and finally create an image.

A way to reduce incident of ethnic conflicts is asking ourselves “What if?” asking ourselves that question will make it more easy to understand someone else point of view or state of mind. As it was explained in the previous ideas ethnic conflicts are very common; do to that misunderstanding whenever you ask your selves what if the other guy is from another religion? What if he has another point of view? Prejudice takes another role in ethnic conflicts; most of us tend to judge base on person lucks, style of living, etc. We need to have an open mind mentality and be able to understand and accept people ethnic differences.

  1. "community think that Nicaraguans are citizens who steals". Here is the saying "Because of one pay all" It's bad to generalize, but most come to work or do damage.
