Hello again. I got some really good advice the last time so I'm back in hopes of getting help again.
The prompt asks:
Choose an issue of importance to you-the issue could be personal, school related, local, political, or international in scope-and write an essay in which you explain the significance of that issue to yourself, your family, your community, or your generation.
"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts." Mark Twain evoked the significant social impact traveling brings about. Today, many issues arise from the ignorance of those who have not experienced another culture's life. Travel is the one portal to eliminating the hatred in our societies heart. Hatred against a group of peoples such as Jews, blacks, Asians, Hispanics, and foreigners can all give way with travel.
Native Ukrainians are rallying and fighting Pro-Russian separatists, The French animosity of Islam is spreading, and prejudices in the United States endures. Blaming or stereotyping the essence of one group off of a minority with a similar background such as the belief that all Islam's are terrorists when in fact Jihadists only make a fraction of Islam is poignant to everyone. Not only
We as a country, as a community, and as humans must come to see the different culture and to not be ethnocentric.
Racism and prejudices begin within the family and often last for a lifetime, yet even the most devoted racist can change his or her views with one step outside of their country. Thieves, thugs, or gang members can transform into hardworking, spirited, and hospitable people in the eyes of the intolerant through traveling.
Traveling should not be a one sided activity. Both sides, Ukraine to Russia and Russia to Ukraine, Iraq to France and France to Iraq, the U.S. to the World, and the World to the U.S. should experience each other's cultures. A white racist of African American people may renew into a person offering a lending hand to erect a new black church. A religious narrow-minded Muslim may convert into an advocate for peace.
As a child, I knew little of Qatar's geography let alone that my family would reside there. I am convinced that experiencing another culture made me a more acceptant individual. I admired how Muslims lived, marveled at their loyalty to their religion, craved to gain their desire to learn, and I treasured their innate desire to become more open to the western world.
The world has to be open enough to accept the challenges that come with tolerating different cultures. Traveling has made me more tolerating of different cultures and I believe traveling will make the world a more tolerant place.
I dont know if this is strong enough or if I'm being too broad in my issue. Please let me know if I need to fix this.
THANKS
