Last week in my Sociology class we discussed sensitive topics such as rape, sexism, and racism. The thing that caught my attention was that how all those issues still can be found in today's world. I understand that we can’t completely erase all of those problems in our society. Presently the topic of rape is one of the biggest issues we have. Im sure you guys remember how in the beginning of the school year, we had to pass a test on rape and how to avoid it in college. Well now I can see why they were forced to do that. The best solution to fighting rape is to spread the knowledge on the issue and how to combat it. Another issue we discussed was sexism. The professor talked about how sexism can be found in the workforce and how it negatively affects women. She stated that women get paid less compared to a male worker. I'm not sure if that is true nowadays, but if it is, I think it's very unfair. No matter the gender the person should get paid the same amount for doing the same exact work. Racism is still well and alive in our world. We may not see it, but it's still out there making people's lives harder than they already are. Nobody likes to be ridiculed for their ethnicity or skin color. What do you guys believe? Are these issues still happening in our world? If so, what can we do to prevent these issues from arising?
