Science Against Prejudice by https://padlet.com/gabriellamattar/w67ec3v2zvpgriis Every kind of prejudice is not related or explained by science en-us 2020-06-08 16:40:34 UTC 2023-02-23 12:44:07 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f9ec.png Allegiant- book and movie (2013/2016) gabriellamattar https://padlet.com/gabriellamattar/w67ec3v2zvpgriis/wish/621078316 In this book (3rd of the Divergent collection), the main characters, Tris and Tobias, find themselves in a genetics center where they find out people are divided in there as geneticallly pure and genetically damaged, based on characteristics they are born with, and there is a group of scientists who plan to create a serum to kill many "genetically damaged" people. The story relates prejudice based on genetic material. ]]> 2020-06-10 16:41:00 UTC https://padlet.com/gabriellamattar/w67ec3v2zvpgriis/wish/621078316 Human race is a sociologic, not scientific concept gabriellamattar https://padlet.com/gabriellamattar/w67ec3v2zvpgriis/wish/621110308 Many people think, and so did I, that race was a scentific concept, that black and African people necessarily have most similar genes than a black person and a white one. A german, white, blonde and pale eye person and a black, dark hair and eyes person can have closer DNA than two very physically similar people. Race is actually a social concept and was created to make it easier to divide people in different groups, and with this, decide some hierarchy between those groups. This proves racism has no scientific explanation.

He is a cleaner in a space center by has a dream of going to the space. One day, he does a pact with a man called jerome, who has the right genes but was paralyzed in an accident. Vicent will have Jerome`s identity so that he can go to space. The movie happens with the fear of both of them of being discovered. This movie relates a story where genetic engeenering becomes common and with it, different types of prejudice.  ]]> 2020-06-10 18:01:37 UTC https://padlet.com/gabriellamattar/w67ec3v2zvpgriis/wish/621211870 Our physical characteristics gabriellamattar https://padlet.com/gabriellamattar/w67ec3v2zvpgriis/wish/621237432 Our physical chacateristics such as eye, hair or skin colors are result of our DNA chacateristics but are also relative. Someone may have a very pale skin but start living in some very hot place and the skin gets darker. We can even change some of those characteristics such as our hair color or our eye color with lens. Is important to have knowledge that the way we look outside shows nothing about us and in same cases it may not even be natural.]]> 2020-06-10 18:18:51 UTC https://padlet.com/gabriellamattar/w67ec3v2zvpgriis/wish/621237432 Genetics are much more complex and difficult to be labeled than the idea of races gabriellamattar https://padlet.com/gabriellamattar/w67ec3v2zvpgriis/wish/621253612 2020-06-10 18:29:02 UTC https://padlet.com/gabriellamattar/w67ec3v2zvpgriis/wish/621253612 This image shows 5 skulls from 5 different people from different populations gabriellamattar https://padlet.com/gabriellamattar/w67ec3v2zvpgriis/wish/624227794 It shows that having a different skin color or being born in a whole different part of the world doesnt change the fact that we are all the same inside.]]> 2020-06-12 15:30:31 UTC https://padlet.com/gabriellamattar/w67ec3v2zvpgriis/wish/624227794 Task Conclusion Video gabriellamattar https://padlet.com/gabriellamattar/w67ec3v2zvpgriis/wish/627978950 https://csamalia-my.sharepoint.com/personal/116129298_csamalia_com_br/Documents/Microsoft%20Teams%20Chat%20Files/video-20200612-70112%20PM-69230e19.mp4]]> 2020-06-15 21:03:15 UTC https://padlet.com/gabriellamattar/w67ec3v2zvpgriis/wish/627978950 Genetic modification and prejudice gabriellamattar https://padlet.com/gabriellamattar/w67ec3v2zvpgriis/wish/627980076 In the future, as Allegiant shows, as genetic modification happens and people`s DNAs get each time less similar, different types of prejudice can start, based on the genetic material and DNA characteristics. In the movie Gattaca for example, there is prejudice based on being born in natural ways, having less abilities (that come from the modified genes). ]]> 2020-06-15 21:04:37 UTC https://padlet.com/gabriellamattar/w67ec3v2zvpgriis/wish/627980076 A invalid human stereotype in the Movie Gattaca gabriellamattar https://padlet.com/gabriellamattar/w67ec3v2zvpgriis/wish/628019431 2020-06-15 21:45:43 UTC https://padlet.com/gabriellamattar/w67ec3v2zvpgriis/wish/628019431 A valid human stereotype in the movie Gattaca gabriellamattar https://padlet.com/gabriellamattar/w67ec3v2zvpgriis/wish/628020592 2020-06-15 21:46:41 UTC https://padlet.com/gabriellamattar/w67ec3v2zvpgriis/wish/628020592 Eugenics gabriellamattar https://padlet.com/gabriellamattar/w67ec3v2zvpgriis/wish/633897428 Eugenics is a biological theory created by Grancis Galton , Darwin`s half- cousin. The theory consists in an idea of some people being "well born" and some characteristics making some people superior than others, such as being more athletic, being "smarter" (based on school grades), being prettier based on the society stereotypes, etc. It was a base for racism that leaded to slavery during many centuries, to forced of sterilization of women that didn’t follow certain society patterns  in the United States during a period, and is still defended by some people nowadays, even though it has no scientific value and is only a easier way to put people in social hierarchy.
