Essay+(Introduction+Draft)

Every single person has their own prejudices however, it is very important for people to stop themselves from committing discrimination because sometimes it can ruin lives. Some people think discrimination has disappeared in our perfect world but it sure still exists. 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. When one discriminates against another, maybe that one feels nothing but the other will always feel pain.
