    Raul Contreras debated about the nature and effects of prejudice. He defined prejudice as making judgements about individuals or groups based on attributes like race, economic status, or gender rather than seeing them as people. Prejudice is still common today and causes people to face judgement for their appearance, actions, and skin color. It lowers the confidence of those with darker skin who feel viewed as ugly. Prejudice prevents equal justice and liberty, as promised by countries like the United States, because discrimination separates and disadvantages certain groups in society.

    lection Paper on Raul Contreras' debate about Prejudice

    Prejudice is a feeling of like or dislike for someone or something especially


    when it is not reasonable or logical, an instance of such judgement. We may all have
    different views about prejudice, but either ways it still have the same point. However,
    I do feel the same vibes with Raul's definition about prejudice. He eloquently
    delivered the point of prejudice, where we give judgement to an individual or a group
    of people not on the basis of their being persons, but on the basis of their colors,
    economic statuses, sex, etc.

    Nowadays, prejudices exist in every corner of the world and even more
    worse. In today's generation, we call it a judgmental world where everyone is eyeing
    on you to what you say, your actions, the way you dress, and even our skin color
    matters today. As to what Raul said that even at their time, Filipinos used bleaches
    to whitened their skin although their arms or the rest of their bodies still show their
    true color. With technology and science everything became possible, which we all
    want to get that fair skin, a glass skin, and a flawless skin like a Korean's. Since we
    live in a judgmental society we lose the confidence when we have darker skin
    because we thought we are ugly and no one would dare to look at us or listen to us,
    and look at those who have whiter skin and dresses elegantly, they have that
    confidence where somehow they look down to the people opposite to them, that is
    the higher tendency.

    He also mentioned there about justice and liberty where he questioned the
    pledge of the United States of America that where is the justice they say when the
    separation of group of people and discrimination exists. It is a matter of fact that for
    some individuals there is justice, however to the individuals who belong in the lower
    class in the society they cannot have the justice they are striving to find because of
    those who have justice they do not want to share them. What also happen is that,
    people who belong to those discriminated always looking up at those in higher class,
    they are always on the ground, not because they would not get off but they cannot.

    Law is there, but justice is not when prejudice exist.
