I tend not to have any prejudice. I sometime hear about a gay from friends. I am asked what I would do if I had a gay friend. I always answer that I don't care about it. I think a gay is not problem at all . Instead of it , having a prejudice for gay is a problem. In my case , I don't have any gay friends , but even if I had such friends , I talk to them hang out with them just like not gay friends. I don't want to hang out with them only two though. I wonder that this is a kind of discrimination.. I think it is very hard for me to communicate with them naturally. I don't get used to talking to them , so I often talk to a friend of mine about it. He has a gay friend. He live in another prefecture and goes to university. The gay friend is very open as I hear from him. I think it is better than hiding it.
There are other prejudices. Some Japanese people tend to look down on black people. I hate it and I don't understand why they do. They probably have prejudice for them. When I talked an American about Japanese people , I was asked whether Japanese people look down on them or not. I couldn't answer clearly because I had seen some people looking down on black people. I sometimes hear or see that some people say some words indicated insults. I don't think all of people need to discriminate other people. I wonder that it makes people happy. Needless to say , having prejudice leads to discrimination and then discrimination leads to big trouble,for example , a war. Even if all of people are forced not to discriminate other people , people's thought wouldn't change or become worse. I have an idea that is all of people care about each other and cooperate with each other.
When I got into KGU , I experienced a prejudice. We met many students at KGU first time and asked which high school we graduate each other. I said the name of high school I graduated from. Some of people who asked me about it looked looking down on me . Actually , the high school I graduated is not good high school. There are many bad students who smoke , go out somewhere during a class there. Of course , such things don't match all of students in the school. I didn't match either. It may be fact that some of students in the school are not good or very bad , but I want people to know that many students in the school are eager and serious. I got a little hurt by being looked down me.
In lives of people , it may be imperative to be discriminated by other people. This because some people discriminate other people and the other people hate some people and then more and more the other people discriminate some people. I think prejudice have been made by history.Although it may be my prejudice , old Japanese people tend to have unfair ideas. Old people around me have terrible prejudice. For example , men shouldn't talk loudly. My grand parents said to me when I was primary school student. First time I heard that , I thought it was a kind of rule to live comfortably , but now I don't think so and it's a just prejudice or stereotype.
I learnt a one thing during a class in KGU. That is when people go somewhere they visit first time , they tend to have stereotype. For example , if a person meet a Japanese person who talks rudely and next time the person meet another rude Japanese person. The person thinks Japanese people are rude. It can't be helped. Because i have this knowledge , I tend not to think so when I go somewhere I have never been.
As a result , prejudice or stereotype like bad thoughts don't make good things at all. Even if people who look down on is happy by having them, other people don't feel absolutely. I hope someday everyone feels happy without them.To improve the world , we should do something very small but change our thoughts.
