 * Why?**

I believe that people discriminate against others because of the fear that they might be neglected by society if they do not think like everyone else, which is single out those whom you believes are inferior. This inferiority usually comes from the community's history and the hatred that evolves from the past. The only way to end this discrimination is to stop giving history so much power. If mankind was able to forget about yesterday, tomorrow would be a better place.


 * Second draft essay paragraph:**

Every single person has his or her own prejudices. We, as human beings, have learned throughout history that acting on our prejudices will only cause pain but we still do it. Why do we still commit discrimination knowing that it will ruin another person’s life? Omar Raddad, a Moroccan gardener in France, faced discrimination from the French government based on racial and class prejudice. This didn't happen long ago. In fact, he was convicted in 1994 and sentenced to 18 years of prison. This ruined his life. He was an innocent man who had to go to prison and pay for someone else's mistake. His kids and wife had to survive without him for a long time. Even when he gets out of prison, things never go back to the way they were. People do not want to hire him because they think he is a criminal. People are scared of him and no one wants to befriend him. He always claims to be innocent but no one believes him. The same case can be seen with Tom Robinson in the book, __To Kill a Mockingbird__ by Harper Lee. He is convicted based on the fact that he is black. Although he claims that he is innocent, no one ever believes him because he lives in a place where blacks are considered inferior. I believe that people discriminate against others because of the fear that they might be neglected by society if they do not think like everyone else, which is single out those whom you believes are inferior. This inferiority usually comes from the community's history and the hatred that evolves from the past. The only way to end this discrimination is to stop giving history so much power.
