Race

These past few weeks in class we have been discussing race. Race seems to be arbitrary in the grand scheme of things. It is only as important as we make it, which sadly, seems to be very important. Signs are everywhere of the implicit racism going around today. Things as simple as being taught by somebody of your own race or finding a band aid of the same skin color as you. There are things in society constantly putting great emphasis on race. When in reality, it is only a social construct. But how can we as a society change that? The answer is not very clear. I believe that we must change our perceptions of society and how we view the world as a whole. People should not be categorized based on color, or on any other sort of premise for that matter. We should all simply be human beings.
