Class Assignment - Quickwrite - Disrespect

Many situations rise in which disrespect cause conflict. Disrepect can be cause by things such as rascism, sexism, etc. Basically, it is usually caused by discrimination. A lot of the times, discrimination already exists, prior to the situation. For example, during the time of Civil Rights Movement, African Americans were being discriminated. They were forced to sit at the back of the bus, take different schools, etc. In their positions they probably feel sad, and mad, that they have to live in this situation. If I were put into similar situation, I would feel mad and offended. But at the same time, I would also feel embarrassed, because obviously, I've done something wrong that makes the other person feel like I deserve to be treated as less than the person I am. It is wrong to disrespect someone and make them feel like they are less than who they really are. 'Disrespecting' someone is like thinking you are higher than them in some way. That is both mean and offensive. But disrespect happens all over the world. That is why we should fight against discimination.
