''THE RACISM'' Solli Sarcinelli, San Severo (FG)

Nowadays racism is a phenomenon that increasingly affects us and usually racism occurs between blacks and white. In recent years, in Italy racism is emerging against the immigrants, because the Italians thing that the Chinese are in Italy to steal our jobs and the Romanians and the Maroccans for various violente crimes. But isn't so. Bacause as there are good and bad Italians, there are good and bad foreigners. Also the TV deceive us many times. Because every day we hear about murders committed by Maroccans, beacause thesestrike the people more than those committe by an Italian. I think we should look at immigration with different eyes, as Pietro Calabrese says ''Diversity can be a source of pride, living with peoples of different religions and different languages can only enrich us.''
I would like to start from this, from changing racism into a source of knowledge.

Racism, by its definition, is the "belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and copacities and that racial differences produce on inherent superiority of a particulare race". People whit raust benefits, or get preferential treatment.
According to the United Nations conventions, there is no distinction between the term racial discrimination and ethnic discrimination.

i think that the muslims and all the other religious like ours and we must consider their followers as our brothers. Not all of them are dangerous.I think they are good people and should be hosted in italy like our friend..
Infact, like as i have seen in the video about islam,in italy there are a lot of associations that take care about such aspect.
so, i think that we should allow everyone to practice his/her religion and give more space to such religions in general.

Impressions about a video on Islam in Italy, Nathalie

From the video that we saw about the Muslim religion, I have found out new things that I didn't know before.
For example, I didn't know that there are many Muslim associations in Italy; I didn't know about the different ways to name immigrants on the basis of the age when they arrived here.
I have always thought that Muslims are so diverse from us, as far as regards, i.e. How they think about women (especially the aged ones); but obviously, not all of them are like that.
People think that they are all extremists, but there are many Muslims, especially those of the 2nd generation, that are open-minded.
Sometimes, it's only a matter of religion and culture. Unluckly, nowadays, we live in a world with plenty of prejudices and stereotypes.
The Muslim association are created for this: to create a bridge between Western people and them, to fight against sterotypes and prejudices.

According to the common definition of the term RACISM, the human species can be divided into biologically distinct races, characterized by different intellectual capacities, value or moral, with the consequent belief that it is possible to determine a hierarchy according to which a particular hypothetical, racially defined grouping can be defined higher or lower than another. Many projects have been implemented to combat racism, but with no use for a lot of people because they still go on committing  acts of violence in the name of racism. I'm not a racist person because I think that we are all egual, there is nobody better than another. I hope that one day such people will understand that there are no distinctions.

Education is the process of facilitating learning, or the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and habits. Educational methods include storytelling, discussion, teaching, training, and directed research. A right to education has been recognized by some governments, including at the global level: Article 13 of the United Nations' 1966 International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights recognizes a universal right to education. In most regions education is compulsory up to a certain age.

This is a study on refugee education globally. The research conducted by Sarah - Dryden Peterson at the University of Toronto in November 2011 includes some really  interesting findings and feasible solutions to the problem. It may focus on Africa but it also informs us of the factors we need to take into consideration.  I feel it will help us substantially with our project!

Our idea is to speak about social integration nowadays starting for example from Michael Jackson's song "Man in the Mirror" as a good source of inspiration.

This song, by the American singer Lady Gaga, inspired millions of young people to love one another without caring about their gender, race or physical aspect.

This song by the american singer Lady Gaga inspired million of young people to love themselves according to gender, race or physical aspect.
This song “says” that we have the DNA different, but we’re all born this way.
“Same DNA, but born this way”.
And that we should fights for our rights, never give up and love always ourselves, because we’ve got the same rights and the same duties to respect, and of course a simple difference (about gender, race, etc...) can’t ruin our lives, we have to stand up and fight.
“Left you outcast, bullied, or teased, rejoice and love yourself today”.

In fact, a lot of young people “owe ther lives” to Gaga, because she, with this song and others, saved them, from doing stupid actions.
“I was born to be brave”.

GOOD EXAMPLES:
We have to fight for our rights, because we can’t  let us destroy from prejudice and badness, we are all equal, and we want to show it, people have to understand it.

I can’ be happy knowing that million of people don’t are themselves because they are scared of the word of others, or also people who don’t go out because they are afraid of being beaten for their beliefs or race.

I literally love when i see marches or parades, because i can see people who are very strong, people who love themselves and people who want equal rights, and until they won’t have them, they won’t give up, i have got a lot of respect for them, for this courageous people.

And now, finally, in Italy, homosexual people can marry each other.
And, it’s like an “evolution” for our country, because a lot of people went out of their closed and antiquated mind.

For my opinion is useless hate a person only for his aesthetic and sexual taste, because it’s not a choice, and not even a guilt, it’s just a taste, nothing related to the behavior that a person could have or another tastes that he could have.

It’s normality, it’s nature, it’s life.

we will show you a video about INTEGRATION. There's always a way to change things.
The video is in Italian so we translate it in English.

Introduction:
The facts told in the video had emerged from a social research realised with teachers and students by a group of young researchers.
Words on the boy: obese - gipsy - disabled - isis - swot - insecure.
Words on the door: no money  - no laboratory - no financing -  no resourches - no time.
Intercultural workshop
The students' voices:
- To me at the school integration  can be free to beeing different without the fear of beeing different;
- Wearing a VEIL was a sudden thing. My friends got used to it gradually. Also my parents had encouraged me because it gives responsabilities like to know that you can't do something and you have to follow a dress code. It was the first year of the high school in Cremona, but I keep it because I made a spiritual choice.
Growing up I've understood that what make us different makes us free.
It was a difficult change. At first, I felt better when I was in Marocco, but I don't know how things would become.
My school SUPPORTS integration. There are some activities for disabled. Then there are some language courses.
Working in progress . . .

Happy, Pharrel William

Happy is a very famous song that everyone knows. It's written, produced, and performed by an American singer called Pharrel William. This song is the background of the renowned film “Despicable Me 2”. It was released in November 2013 with a video, in my opinion, very nice. This video shows a fantastic way TO SEE THE DIVERSITY . In the video you can take note how, big, small, of all origins, dance without making any kind of distinction.

This is in contrast with nowadays, where every day we hear on TV episodes of discrimination. But not all of these events are announced on TV, because most of them have suffered silently.

Lebanon is a country of around four and a half million people, as big as Sardinia, and today it hosts more than a million Syrian refugees (with higher estimates putting the number at a million and a half), added to 300,000 Palestinian refugees that have found a home in Lebanon over the last 30 years. The Lebanese government decided to keep the borders open and welcome the refugees, recognizing them as such and allowing them to remain in the country, and putting a system of aid in place with the help of international agencies (above all the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, or UNHCR) which works, albeit beset by difficulties. This is the result of clear political choices that has seen a positive reaction among Lebanese people, without provoking ancient rivalries, demonstrating a great solidarity.
In my opinion this is a very good action and example of how we can deal with the immigrants...

VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN

Violence against women is a  violation of human rights an it maybe a consequence of discrimination in law and also in practice, and of persisting inequalites between men and women.

Violence against women and girls can be avoided and prevention is not only possibile but also essential. Violence against women continues to be a global epidemics.
There are different types of violence:
-Phisical Violence;
-Economics Violence;
-Psychological Violence;
-Sexual Violence ;

The Assembly of the United Nations decided on November 25 as the date of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against women and THIS IS GOOD PRACTICE !

On 25 November,
in Italy, we celebrate it and in our town, CREMONA (as in many others) on the steps of the Cathedral or in other squares and symbolic places of the town many SHOES are displayed as the symbol of this violence but only FEMALE RED SHOES !

this song represnts the oppressive mentality AGAINST  a young foreigner.
These years foreigners are the most discriminated,
for example in the USA the black people and latino American communities are oppressed by society, it is shown by the police who are very violent against  a lot of black people.

Sometimes being different can be hard. People want to match with others, be a part of the flow. And all that because it makes everything easier: making friends, joining groups and generally being accepted by everyone. But the thing is, you can't really define whether you are going to be different or not. It is just a part of who you are. In the end you realize it is as easy to you as to everyone else to be a part of the whole,  but in your own way. And you may even find others that are as different as you are. Still, having different interests or habits with one person, won't stop you from matching with them. In fact, it could be a really good cause to be interested in different types of personalities. So accepting yourself just the way you are and progressively become, is positive. You may once meet someone totally different than you are, yet you make them your best friend.

I think this is an example of GOOD PRACTICE

Some large companies are taking note to resolve discrimination, companies like Benetton, who made some conflicting, shocking advertisement that help people to reflect on their actions, something  provocative and really revolutionary.
“No one was born to hate their fellowmen for race, religion or class to which they belong. People learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can also learn to love, for love, for the human heart, it is more natural than hatred. " said Nelson Mandela and I think that every one should take example from him to make a unite and better world to live together.
