Race

The social construction of race has allowed us as a people to fear and label each other. Reading the class readings told me that scientifically there is no difference among people that can genetically define us as certain races. People have coined this term and defined it. Race, although it has been socially constructed, is very important to people. Everyone identifies themselves with a race and a culture. Both are sometimes interchangeable and I think that many people enjoy these constructs. It is important to appreciate our race and our background but also important to not deminish others based on their race. We could never grow to understand everything about people but if we try not to infer information the world could be a much better place.
