MLK+ESSAY

Imagine that you live in a world where people are separated based on color of their skin. What would it be like to live in such a world? How might it change your friendships and/or your family? How would you feel? How would you respond?

MLK ESSAY

In today’s world there is racism and we have to deal with it every single day. Even though we have racism we are still able to coexist with people of different races. This is how I live everyday and I enjoy it. It makes life enjoyable and different and it’s changed my life for the better. So if I lived in a world where people were separated based on the color of their skin my life would be completely different.

To live in a world separated by skin color would be weird. My life would be so plain and I would not get any changes in my day. I would not like living in a world that was separated by race. If the world was separated based on skin color it would change my friendships quite a bit. I have had many friends of different ethnicities throughout my life and if we were separated based ‍‍‍‍on skin color the world have they would have never become my friends and my life would be completely different. In fact my first childhood friend was black and we have been friends ever since. As a person, I would be completely different because the friends that I have had of a different ethnicities have taught me many things and changed my life for the better.

Separating people based on color would change my school immensely. In my first period creative writing class alone, we would have eight fewer kids in the class. And if we did that with the whole school the schools population would be cut by a third. I would not like that at all because that is what makes Washington High School so special. That fact alone makes us different than all the other high school in Sioux Falls who are not as diverse, and that is why, I believe, we are so much better than all the other schools.

If this ever happened, I would feel so sad, like a part of my life is missing because having ethnicity in my life is what makes my life. And it makes my life more unique and more enjoyable. Also it makes the United States a better place to live because people of any ethnicity can be walking down and no one will care because we live in the United States. Imagine if we had the same kind of rulers that ran Germany during the Holocaust. A ong with what makes and has made me the person I am today and the person I will become. ‍ (Justin, consider editing this last sentence.)

If we were separated by color, I would have a completely I live. Since we live in the United States of America any one of any skin color, any size and any disability can be walking down and no one will care because we live in the United States of America and we are free from separation and discrimination so we will never have to worry about any thing bad happening. Imagine if we had the same kind of rulers that ran Germany during the Holocaust or if we lived in back during the Holocaust how bad it would be to live during that time or to even be living today with a terrible ruler, our country would be so bad and we would not have close to the number of people because our country is so diverse. But since we live in the United States of America the land of the free and the home of the brave, we will never have to worry about being segregated based on ethnicity because we are able to live free lives and that’s what makes the United States of America such a great place to live.
