Standards against racism

1. Discussion

What are races? Do you have friends of a different race? How do you feel about people of a different race?

1. Watch the cartoon and write sentences with 5 new words.

 

2. Now read the text on standards against racism. Title the paragraphs of the text and give the title to the text.

Paragraph 1 

A race is a group of people who have the same skin color and physical features.  There are a few main races in the world, like Europeans or Caucasians, Blacks, or Asians.

Racists are people who believe that some races are better and more important than others. They think that their own race is the best and that other races are physically and mentally inferior to them. In many cases racists feel threatened by others. Racism exists in many countries. Minorities are often discriminated against and have problems getting jobs, houses or the same education as others.

There has been racism throughout history. Western scientists and philosophers have often tried to prove that white people are supreme to others. In the past, governments have often justified their legal and economic system with racism. It has led to slavery and even the cold-blooded murder of whole population groups. Racism has made people afraid of their leaders.

Paragraph 2 

In ancient Greece and Rome, enemies were captured, made prisoners and turned into slaves. In ancient Egypt thousands of foreign slaves built the pyramids of Giza.

When the Age of Exploration began in the 15th century Europeans founded colonies in the New World. The English, Spanish and French tried to civilize Native Americans because they thought they were barbaric and different.

In the United States Blacks were kept as slaves for many centuries. They had to work on the cotton farms for no money at all. After they had been officially freed by Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War they still continued to be discriminated against for decades. Racists groups such as the Ku Klux Klan emerged as a sign of white superiority and hatred towards Blacks.

Members of the Ku Klux Klan burn crosses in the American south

Australia held racist attitudes towards the Aborigines.  In the early decades of the 20th century Aboriginal children were taken away from their families and civilized in a white environment.
During World War II Nazi Germany murdered over 6 million Jews in the Holocaust, the largest genocide in history.

In South Africa, the white government followed a policy of segregation which they called Apartheid. Whites, Blacks and Asians lived in separate areas, attended their own churches, hospitals and schools. Apartheid ended in 1990 when Nelson Mandela became the first Black president in the country and the ANC took over power.

Paragraph 3 

Although racism may not have the same influence today, it still exists. In Europe, right wing parties are very successful in their attempt to scare people by telling them there are too many foreigners in the country.
In America there is aggressiveness and often hate towards Hispanics, often considered to be unintelligent.
In sports, black athletes are often insulted by racist colleagues and spectators.

BULLYING AT SCHOOL

                       

 

  It doesn’t matter if you are a student, teacher or parent of a child. Everyone has a role in the prevention of school bullying.

  There are several types of bullying to know about, and different ways that teachers, schools, and parents can help stop bullying at school.

 

1. Emotional Bullying

- Involves using ways to cause emotional hurt to another person. 

* F. e. saying or writing hurtful things, purposeful ignoring, or spreading rumors*

 

2. Physical Bullying

*F. e. throwing items, tripping, beating up or eliciting others to cause physical harm to a person*

How To Prevent Bullying

 

1. Teach Kindness and Empathy

Children should know from an early age what effect their behavior has on others. They should be taught to see others’ perspectives.

2. Create Opportunities for Connections

Make the school or classroom feel like a community. When students feel that their peers are part of their group or community, they will be less likely to bully.

 

3. Participate in Simulations

Have a class act out a bullying situation together and explore alternative ways to handle conflict. This will increase their empathy and help them come together to come up with bullying solutions.

 

4. Set Clear, Enforceable Rules

Rules should be in positive terms, cover multiple scenarios, and be age-appropriate.

 

5. Use Open Communication

Communication is key with bullying prevention. When children feel like they can talk to adults in their community, they are more likely to report bullying.

6. Take Actions

If you find out that there is bullying happening at school, take steps to prevent it.
