Discrimination
There are many reasons for discrimination, mainly based on race, religion and geography. Generally speaking, there is no difference between these types of discrimination, and they all exclude a group with a different identity. People in this world are diverse, and these diverse people may be from different regions, different skin colors, and different beliefs. It is cultural differences when they are big, and living habits when they are small. It is precisely because the earth is big that these differences exist, but they cannot be What is denied is that we all live on a sphere, and each group and even each individual has their own freedom, no matter how others behave, as long as it does not affect us, we can disagree, but we do not have the right to exclude.
In terms of race, the United States is a typical example. After the European colonists entered the Americas, they massacred the Indians. This hatred continued later and became the discrimination against the aborigines by the Americans. This is one of them, and the other is white people. Discrimination against people of color is most strongly expressed by blacks. That is why there is a black movement and Martin Luther King. Although it has eased now, especially after Obama took office, blacks have been treated unfairly. Even the shooting incident is still in the ascendant, which shows that some consciousness has a deep foundation and cannot disappear for a long time. Besides black people, yellow people are also discriminated against. The term "sick man of East Asia" is the best example. Foreigners also discriminate against Chinese, so it is said that "the status of Chinese in the United States is not as good as that of black people." Chinese people are more likely to be onlookers, they find it very novel, and they have to express their welcome. Therefore, this is by no means a simple explanation of occupying resources. There are cultural differences in it, or the Americans are a stingy nation. used to discriminate against other ethnic groups.
Speaking of religion, the world's three major religions, Christianity, Buddhism and Islam, will inevitably have ties due to their different teachings, and differences between believers and non-believers often appear, not to mention other small sects, even cults. There are too many disputes here, and many large-scale bloodshed events in history are closely related to religion. The most representative is the Jewish people. On the surface, Germany is the most anti-Semitic country. Because of Auschwitz in World War II, in fact, the whole of Europe strongly rejects the Jews. On the other hand, because some Jews lent money and accumulated a lot of wealth, many people could not afford to pay it back, and they were not used to it, so they took measures to suppress Jews, and later, Jews In addition to being shrewd, his image is all occupied by ugliness, such as greed, insidiousness and selfishness, and has become the communicator of some epidemic diseases in history, such as leprosy and the Black Death. Of course, these remarks are all rumors, and they are the fear of Jews in the West. The reason why the Jews are suppressed by others is mainly because they have no protection from the state. They are scattered all over the world, and they are relatively smart, so they will inevitably be hated by some stupid people. From this point of view, the discord between Judaism and Christianity is not the main motivation for anti-Semitism, but the American anti-Muslim behavior in the film is more or less blamed for religious reasons.
Finally, when it comes to regions, the simplest example is in my country. According to the test of regional discrimination in our country, there is a long history of discrimination against Song people and Zheng people. The Northern Song Dynasty developed into discrimination between the north and the south. Today, cities discriminate against rural areas, Local discrimination against other places abounds, and Henan people are even pushed to the point of public opinion. Why? Just because a small number of Henan people violated the law and committed petty theft? And which province and city in the whole country has not violated the law and discipline, petty theft? Or because Henan is a big agricultural province and a big population province, so people in Henan should be ignorant and diverse? It is simply unreasonable. If you insist on saying what happened to the people in such and such places, you must show evidence. You must speak with facts, and don't make lies. Compared with racial and religious discrimination, geographical discrimination is the least meaningful.
In addition to the above three types of discrimination, discrimination against persons with disabilities, gender discrimination, status discrimination, etc. also exist in large numbers. It can be seen that discrimination is ubiquitous. The so-called equality of all is indeed an idealized state.
It is always said that these discriminations are unnecessary. If they rise to the height of human beings, why can't they live in peace? Maybe some of the reasons for discrimination are justifiable. It is true that the discriminated people do not do well in some aspects, but not everyone. Therefore, these discriminations are often misguided by generalization, and reflect the narrow mind of the discriminator. And the psychological loopholes of selfishness. Just like the hatred of the Americans for all Muslims after 9/11 in the film, it seems to be too emotional and indiscriminate, thinking that all Muslims are the perpetrators and should bear the consequences of the twin towers being bombed. Who knows there are good people among Muslims And the bad guys, the guilt should not be borne by the innocent. This involves the division of people, but Khan's mother is right. The mother drew two people in the book, one with a stick in his hand, and the other with a lollipop in his hand, asking Khan, who is Hinduism, Who is a Muslim, Khan replied, they may all be, the mother touched his head and said that there are only two kinds of people in the world, good people who do good things and bad people who do bad things, this is the only difference between people.
Hinduism and Islam
Hinduism is a native religion in India and belongs to polytheism. Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva are the three main gods. They eat pork, regard cows as sacred objects, believe in sexual liberation, and their religion is relatively peaceful.
People who believe in Islam are called Muslims, one of the three major religions in the world. They are mainly distributed in Arab countries and some other African, Asian and European countries. They belong to monotheism, believe in Allah, eat beef, not pork, and women cannot show their faces. , must wear a headscarf, religion is relatively violent.
The struggle between the two sects began in the 16th century. In 1526, the Mughal Empire was established and Islam was introduced into India. Since then, Hinduism and Islam have become antagonistic, but the founding emperor Babur implemented a policy of religious tolerance, and the two factions conflicted. It is not obvious, but later during Aurangzeb's reign, the Islamic law was implemented, and Hindus began to be squeezed. Hindus were not allowed to build temples and celebrate festivals. The status of Hinduism was gradually threatened. Since the mid-18th century, the British colonial power has rapidly Entering India, it was stubbornly resisted. In response to the constant disputes between Hinduism and Islam, the United Kingdom adopted a "divide and rule" policy, trying to provoke the relationship between the two major religions and fan the flames, resulting in serious sectarian conflicts, more than 500,000 people People were slaughtered, millions were displaced, and eventually India and Pakistan were divided, which was a blatant religious division. Later, India was dominated by Hinduism and Pakistan was dominated by Muslims.
Islam and terrorist
attacks are intensifying in the West, and 9/11 was only one of the more striking ones. After that, al-Qaeda led by bin Laden was brought to the forefront, and the three words "Muslim" became the spokesperson for terrorists , as if all the attacks were done by them, in fact they did most of them, so why do extremist terrorists prefer Muslims?
This has to start with the teachings of Islam, that is, the Koran. Similar to other religious works, it is also magical, but its content is very broad, not only in religious rituals, but also in all aspects of social life. It is very specific. It is precisely because of this This kind of specificity has caused the believers in later generations to have no room to play, and they have gone into the extreme of thinking. Of course, if later generations believers do not copy and have a sense of reform, they will not go to extremes, but some people are stubborn and conservative, such as Wahhabi, an Islamic scholar in the 18th century, who called on everyone to return to tradition and strictly follow the Koran. ”, which involves a term, fundamentalism, that is, conservatives like Wahhabi, so why do these people listen to fundamentalism?
This has to do with the history of Islam. Since the founding of Muhammad, Islam has developed rapidly, and it has given birth to the Arab Empire and the Ottoman Turkish Empire. The latter destroyed the Eastern Roman Empire, which was dominated by Christian civilization at that time. Before and after the First World War, Western countries expanded aggressively, the Turkish Empire collapsed, territories were divided up by Western countries, and traditional Islamic areas became colonies of Western countries. This is called the pain of bereavement, because the traditional set does not apply, the industrial revolution is rising, and Western civilization is invading, and the old will be replaced by the new. , they directly blamed the destruction of the empire on the Western colonizers, incited hatred among the people, gradually raised fundamentalism to modern Islamic radicalism, and gave birth to a well-known organization, the Muslim Brotherhood, referred to as the Muslim Brotherhood .
At first, the Muslim Brotherhood only called on everyone to rebuild and revive the Islamic society according to the "Koran", but a guy named Qutb wrote a book "Vekhi" in which he declared that non-Islamic culture must be completely eliminated, which made He became the founder of contemporary Islamic extremism, and the Muslim Brotherhood developed rapidly. The most worth mentioning is the fertile soil of Afghanistan. During the Cold War, the Soviet Union launched three coups in Afghanistan. Outcroppings gave birth to things like Omar's Taliban and bin Laden's al-Qaeda. Both organizations were strongly suppressed by the West. After 9/11, the Taliban went underground and their edge weakened. In 2011, bin Laden was killed, and the theoretical master Zawahiri became the leader. The activity also declined for a while, but a new This is the very arrogant ISIS in recent years, whose full name is "Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria". It can be seen that these guys are not afraid of suppression. "Building a country", to establish a big Islamic State, and then hating all non-Islamic States, wouldn't it become the world's biggest scourge?
This kind of worry is not meaningless, but terrorists are a minority after all. According to the statistics of the US Counter-Terrorism Center, there are only one million suspected terrorists in the world, and Muslims are distributed in more than 200 countries and regions, accounting for 100% of the world's population. Twenty out of 20,000,000,000,000 is not even 0.001%, so there is no reason to worry too much. The vast majority of Muslims are moderate and advocate peace. There are not a few people like Khan in the film, and they can be. Khan is also a congenitally ill person who needs us to be treated fairly no matter what.
About those who are disabled and strong
, Raymond in "Rain Man" has autism like Khan. He has a deep brotherhood with his younger brother Charlie and has touched countless people; A-Gump in "Forrest Gump" Gan, born mentally handicapped, has been running all his life towards his legendary life; Sam in "I Am Sam", who is only seven years old in intelligence, did his best to defend his love for his daughter Lucy. Love; Brad in "Call Me Number One", Tourette's disease has plagued him since childhood, but he has a dream of becoming a teacher, and he succeeded under the guidance of perseverance; Hawking in "The Theory of Everything", the whole body Paralyzed to only a few fingers, but still swimming in the black hole of the universe.
As for the Khan in this film, although he suffers from Asperger's syndrome, he is afraid of new environments, strangers, sharp voices and yellow, and his movements are a little slow and rigid, but he has a good memory and is good at repairing all kinds of equipment. Originality, and most importantly, he's a good guy. To live up to his wife's angry words and to express his grief over the passing of his son Sam, Khan took to the road to meet the president. While chasing the president, when he met Dr. Faisal Lehman who was inciting some Muslims, he ignored the revenge of his compatriots and bravely reported to the police to avoid the spread of extremist forces; when he met Joe and Jenny's mother, who had knee injuries, he felt William The beauty of the small town of Mina, when the town was suddenly hit by a hurricane and the government was indifferent, he decided to go alone to lend a helping hand to the affected people, and brought more people to the town to help the town. disaster recovery instills hope. As Khan's influence grew as he was arrested, innocent Muslims who were often bullied by Americans stood up to defend their dignity, as in Khan's favorite song, "We Shall Overcome." We will win, originally sung by Joan Baez, who sang it at the nearly 250,000-strong civil rights demonstration in Washington in August 1963, and Martin Luther King Jr. It was at that march that he delivered his famous "I have a dream" speech, and it's not just black people who need to be treated fairly, Muslims too. It was Khan who gave Muslims a fair chance, as great as Martin Luther King Jr.
It is these disabled and determined people who, like Khan, do not give up their lives because of illness, and can often make amazing achievements. They are inspirational models in this world. If they can prove themselves and reflect their own Value, should those of us who are alive and kicking be ashamed?
