As many years have passed, Race has become increasingly important in multiple areas. Although race played a large role in someone’s future during the 1700’s, race continues to effect how one should lead their life.

In my sociology class, we learned that race is simply a social construct. It is a way of categorizing people based on their physical appearance and has been used as a predictor of one’s reliability and value. Since our physical appearance is based on genetics, no one should be judged based on this. After traveling to Cuba, I saw that Race was nonexistent in the Caribbean. People are treated equally and judged based on their past performance rather than their phenotypic traits. This type of behavior should be adopted Be America, but it seems as though America was the first to implement racism (I could be wrong).

With all the discussion about race and identity, I think that it would be important to acknowledge each other as part of the human race. We are the same and we should all be treated as equals. If we can learn to accept one another for who we are, we could create a better sense of community in the United States and promote equality across the world. In my opinion, this would be very hard to achieve but it is a cause that I would be willing to put my effort towards.

Those are my Thoughts for Food.
