Hi, I’m Valencia and I lived in Japan for six years and I can speak english,japanese,and swahili. My world peace project is about the removal of racism. Racism is a problem out there that exists, not much action is taken into it. For example, foreigners have limited jobs available, or get different treatment just because you’re not white. Black people get different punishments from white people for the same crime. Also I saw on the news that a chinese family was being discriminated against in a neighbourhood in the US where some people threw eggs at their windows, etc. From my perspective I think that no one should go through this just because of their race, which is ridiculous. To make sure this never happens I came up with ideas that might help people to get to know about each other and understand that being racist isn’t a good thing.
For example
• Having a small local event where different types of race come together to present about their country.
• A sport event where we mix up people in groups or pairs and compete against each other seeing which group had better team work
• Making different qualifications for foreigners in job marketing and fair across different races
• Making fair laws among everybody so that different people get punished the same way for the same crime,and different people get rewarded the same way for the same action
If these ideas were not taken into action, this problem might just stay there and accumulate making the situation worse than before.
Conclusion
If these ideas can be changed into action, there will be a much higher possibility of better and brighter understanding between races which will slash racism in a meaningful way. And I believe getting rid of racism is essential to achieve world peace in my generation or the next generation
Thank you
