For my theme on appearance, I decided to get opinions on certain topics from a random selection of people. The group vary in age and gender, and it was all done confidentially to allow the participant to feel more comfortable, and be able to open up more. I have also added my own opinions in to the selection for a broader range of research.
"Society is narrow minded. We only see what we want to see and that's in every relighion. There are extremists in religion but people need to realise that does not sum up a whole race. I believe that racism is more likely to occur when your parents are racist too, as the child will see it as acceptable behaviour. Discrimination is serious, and can really affect people's lives to the point where they have ended their life to stop it"
"Only thing I ever don't like about the way people look is if they look rough or threatening. Not a fan of people who judge others on their appearance, and even less of a fan of racists, but that goes both ways"
"Racism and discrimination these days are really bad. Just because someone has a different coloured skin, doesn't mean they are different"
"I don't think it should happen just because of your colour or background, but you can't change how people view it. I think every country should be multicultural and not biased against certain cultures or backgrounds. For example, England/UK, they are scared of being called racist, so they offer privileges to foreign people. I think people who were bred in this country should get first 'dibs' and people should only come into the country if they can offer something positive by doing so, such as work like in the United States and Australia"
