Racism is the fear

Evi Kokkalis, Psychologist M.Phil
And while the experience was positive, however he was cautious and very suspicious, due to the diversity of the other person’s…
What is racism and what mechanisms cause it?
According to surveys of Social Psychology, people tend to respond favorably to others who are members of their social group. This identity can be religious, political, social or racial. Often, the prejudices and discrimination against others, help people to improve their own self-esteem…they Feel powerful when they belong to a group.
To secure a “stable framework” to develop stereotypes and prejudices against diversity, with suspicion, bias, and egocentrism. Any diversity, it seems “enemy” that threatens them…In a society of moral relaxation, thrives on racism, that conceals a fear of the “foreign” and “different”.
But, when we are marginalising some people, due to diversity, they inevitably will create a kind of “ghetto” in order to protect themselves. As a result, sometimes progressing to acts of violence, crime, etc.e.Fear is a common denominator of the “opponents” and thus creating a vicious circle.
Not understood but, at a time to create wondrous achievements in humanity, that we can’t combat racism.The responsibility we all have, and not “the others”. Required to take with staff to fight everyone. To ΑΠΟΔΕΧΘΟΥΜΕ diversity as a feature and not as a disadvantage.
To ΠΑΡΑΔΕΧΘΟΥΜΕ that every human being is unique and important.To fight racism, you must first defeat him in us! The “enemy” is foreign, heathen, different color, ugly, fat, crippled, idiot.But it is a MAN.
We belong to the same phylum, in the same “group”! Peace will win the war…The “spoils” of victory, is the acceptance and tolerance of the different, and if you conquer it, we must deliver to the new generation. Humanitarian education can be a bulwark to the spread of racism, and this depends first from family and then from school.
Parents well, with the main axis of the acceptance of the different, should open up new vistas to the children in empathy, humanism, personal maturity and democratic consciousness. I’m not a racist… and he’s not “black”. We’re both just PEOPLE.
