"Prejudice is a disease we can never get rid of." Discuss
I do not agree to the statement.
A disease is a condition that is caused by external factors that result in abnormal bodily functions. Prejudice would never cause abnormal bodily functions. Diseases are also health related, but being prejudiced would not cause a person to fall sick or land in hospital for non-injury causes. Thus, prejudice is not a disease.
Whether prejudice can be get rid of shall be the next part of this essay. Prejudice can be gotten rid of to a certain extent. The prejudice against females have almost been totally eradicated. In the past where men went to work while women stayed at home doing house work, there was prejudice against females. Some societies even disallowed women to study, for example ancient chinese society. But such prejudice is still here with us. In Japanese societies, the man still walk in front of the women. Although this is very minor, it is still a sign of prejudice. If there is someone who would stand up for the japanese women, or if the younger generation give little thought to such a practice, japanese men and women would eventually walk side by side. Effectively ridding prejudice from society could be done, as shown.
As such, i conclude that prejudice is not a disease that we can never get rid off.
Yet another quote. This has prejudice in it, so yea.
"This world is called fate.
The binding thread coils itself around a fragile, helpless prejudice.
Hatred. Sadness. It ends in tears.
Beyond the curtain, at midnight, any pending revenge will be taken."
There are no such things as coincidences in this world.
There's only the inevitable.
