MLK

MLK Back in the early American days, people were treated different because of the way they looked. If I lived back in those days, I would have felt many different feelings other than good. I’m glad America is the way it is and I think a mixed culture is a very beneficial thing.

If the world was still separated by people’s physical features, the world would be a much different place. The same people wouldn’t be friends because they wouldn’t be alllowed to talk. If the world was segregated by hair color, some families would be torn apart. For example, my sister's and my father's hair is brown, and my mother's and mine is blonde. He would have been separated at birth. My parents would have gotten in a lot of trouble for even talking when they’re from different groups. They might have been killed or thrown in jail or put in some other sort of punishment for their crime. My sister and I might not have even been born.

Many of my best friends have hair a color that is different from mine, so I wouldn’t have all of the same friends that I do now. I think that it would be easy to have friends of just the same hair color, but going from this life to that would feel very off. If people were born into that culture, I think it would be a little easier for them, because they wouldn’t have to adjust. It would be all they’ve ever known.

I would feel bored with everything being the same. I would feel like there is so much more that this world has to offer that I am missing out on. If I was separated from all other sorts of people, I would feel emptiness that I would hope to be filled. If I were segregated from others based on physical characteristics, I would probably just deal with it for a while, hoping it would change, If it didn’t change, I would probably try to make some changes myself. I think that I and others would eventually realize that the separation was pointless and that we need to bring everyone together and live freely. I think the same thing would happen that happened with most minorities and mistreated people in America. A rebellion or some sort of a revolution would form bringing everyone together.

I don’t believe that there is any reason for segregation of the people and there are a majority that believe that too, so I don’t think that there is any way that segregation would be kept alive.
