a class divided

the purpose of the experiment was to show the kids that they should'nt be rasist. the brown colored eyes were to be black people and the blue were white. one day the teacher said the brown werent better so their grades went down and te next day the teacher they were better so their work was muh better. the same she did with the blue eyed kids. she gave a hankerchief to the kids she said they were not better. what surprised me about this experiment were the grades of the kids how they lowered and how the were raised.

why are people racist?

Racism is a form of discrimination of color, content, and culture. Some people are racist because they are afraid and others because that is what they were taught, to hate people of other races. People are racist because they are scared to admit that they want to do something with that person or group. People could be racist because of they way they are brought up. Also because of the past history. Wars may effect on how people think about each other of different races. Humans are very competitive and if we can find fault with someone else then we make that a gain for why we are better. Some are just plain ignorant. All racists are not happy unless they have someone or some thing to hate. People are racist because it is easy to pick on people who are different. I think people are also racist because they are scared or envy the people o they mistreat them and kill them. Many people think also they are better than black people or any other race so they make them feel bad or make themselves look better by embarrassing them or making them suffer making them look as a lower class.

why is psychology important?

Psychology is important because it is concerned with the study of behavior and mental processes and at the same time, it is also applied to many different things in human life. Everything we do is related to psychology. Psychology studies who and what we are, why we are like that, why we act and think like that and what we could be as a person. Psychology is important in a lot of different ways, the studies that has been conducted in various life threatening illnesses.
