Wow, how fast the time goes by. There're only four questions left and these are my answers: Should gay couples be allowed to adopt children? The society worries about gays as parents, but gay parents worry about the impact of society on their children. The prejudices from society can harm these adopted children only because it's still a rarity. However, if gays and lesbians were able to adopt more frequently, and without discrimination, society would be more open about gays as parents.

Allowing homosexual couples to adopt everywhere will have the rights to be parents given back to them, something that should have never been taken away in the first place. Are you born racist or not? Absolutely not. Racism is a learnt behavior. We teach children fear and they mimic our reaction to the fear causing agent.

The remaining two w...

Survey Results

We would like to start off this post by thanking all the people who participated in our survey. We only got 5 responses so far, however, the diversity of nationalities was impressing and helped us a lot to understand how people from all over the world look at discrimination. Firstly, all the people agreed that the meaning of discrimination is to treat people of another race, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, etc. differently, and usually unfairly. We were surprised to find out that no one responded "I don't know", since the youngest respondent was actually 13 years old. It was good to know that young people are aware of the situation. No one has discriminated against anyone and most didn't experience discrimination themselves except for one person who was a foreigner living in Japan. The respondent said that he was searching for an apartment and was not allowed to even look at some properties because he was not Japanese. That proved to us that maybe...
