Race

This week we talked about race!!!!!!!! Now Sal told us that if you go to Brazil, then you're a different race than you may be in America. This is really interesting because you would think that races would be the same in all countries around the world. Black, White, Asian, Hispanic, etc. But if you really think about it, race is just a word that our society created to categorize people. We gave race a meaning when it's just really a label. If we are considered a different race in another country, this just shows that race is just according to what people think.

Now this made me think of people who are colorblind. If there were two different worlds where on one side lived people who were colorblind and another where they had normal vision. If they grew up not influenced by each other and then were put together, would they categorize people and just things in general differently than we do?

We learned that after we're born our environment influences us. What if we grew up in a completely different social environment?
