Latvia
It
starts with a good definition of what racism is and how it appears.
The main and most important question is how can we eliminate
racism? There is no one solution for that but the Latvian team points
out an important start point. Start with one selves.
This
essay reveals how racism has always been a problem in the world. And
it also points out that because the money rules the world the
countries have different opportunities and quality of life. Even
though modern technology can be used to fight racism it´s not
assessable to all people. But with education and knowledge that we
are all people despite some differences we can fight this enemy.
The
topic is well defined and revealed.
Iceland
Here
is also a good definition of the nature of racism. The Icelandic team
thinks Iceland is not very racist country. Could it be because
Iceland has very few immigrants and the conflict between Icelandic
and other nations customs don´t rise so often in daily life? But on
the other hand Icelanders have through the years had liberal thoughts
about minority groups f.ex. gay people and their rights.
The
Icelandic team have some good ideas how racism can be fought and all
in all this essay is well thought out.
Estonia
As
the other teams, the Estonian team explains how racism appears in the
society. They have a good example of racism in their own country due
to the time when the country was ruled by Russia and the older
generation who lived that time have some negative experience and
thoughts from that time. But the people who are younger and don´t
have that experience have more positive thoughts. Young people in
Estonia today are more educated and have had more opportunity to meet
people from various countries and get to know them in a positive way.
They think that more education and more global communication is the
best weapon against racism. In conclusion this is a very good essay.
Lithuania
The
Lithuanian team points out an important thing, all of us think we are
not a racists persons but still we think about suburbs with people of
a different race than we are as “those people”. Can it be that
fear of the unknown is causing reactions that we think don´t exists
in our being? They quote in some famous people who have expressed
their thoughts about the matter when we judge another people. Very
good teamwork and the most important thing is “Never judge a book
by its cover, because within its page you might find peace.”
Finland
The
Finish team points out that the racism appears in Finland in fear
that the immigrants will take the jobs, places and money. Also fear
for people with other religion than Christian. Can it be that native
people think they are more superior and have more right to enjoy the
benefits of their country than other people living there? Why?
Fortunately most people in Finland have a positive attitude against
other races as long as they take part in the society.
The
Finish team discussed various ways we can fight discrimination. Very
good work.
