A webquest about young people

Hey! I have to do a webquest.

MY topic is about racism in a young age.

Why are young people think in such a bad way? And why are their thinking like that?

 sry for my bad english, but I would be grateful if ypu help me!!

Racism is a bad tradition but still exist everywhere.Sometimes it's bias that infulence ppl's thought pattern…well,cz it's not a issue in China,i am not familiar with such phenomenon.

yes.. thats what I thought to.. But in my school, there were very racism youths, and their parents, hate what their doing and thinking of course!

May be racism is in some young … if they Grown up they leave it…. but if racism Continued with them .. Is ignorance

it is depend on Educators and parents.

oh.. something else I should say.. youn age means in my case about sixteen ore eightteen. ^^

i abhor all forms of discriminations on the basis of race or religion or color.that's what aboriginal inhabitants used to do.

but actually,i haven't meet anyone like this since.^^

Racism is alive and well in China, just as it is everywhere else. The situation in Tibet is based in racism. The Chinese government condones it every time they move Han Chinese from one area to another. 56 ethnic groups? I don't think so anymore. Moving masses of people from one place to another only serves to create tension. 

Anyway, back to the question. Anything a child thinks usually comes from a parent. Anything an adolescent thinks might have roots with parents but probably comes from his or her peers.  I would bet that there is a core of peers who are very racist and that they have started to enlist other, weaker individuals who can't think on their own. Peer pressure in teens is very strong, maybe stronger than parental influence. Germany has a terrible history as far as racism and discrimination is concerned but your government is fighting it probably better than any other country in the world. The study of racism in youth deserves intense study. This is a great topic, thanks for starting it. I have more to say but this is already long enough, 

mmemoo that was a smart thing to do. I'm glad you kept this on the front page, even though you had nothing to say. I admire that. Good move!

oh,maple.have u ever been to Tibet or even China?Or u just get  information from tv and reading western news?i donnot agree with ur opinion on Tibet at all.How could u think  that 'Han chinese' look down on Tibet?i donnot want to make it a horrible dispute so i just advise u to go to Tibet and see the reallife.seeing is believing right? u cannot believe that monk from Tibet.He's A BIG FAT LIER.

Unfortunately, racism is common in Asia also. Some of the people in Sri Lanka have been critical of its army chief in this regard. This calls for courage as some journalist have been murdered in the past.

It's hard to believe that there is no racism elsewhere in Asia. It's difficult to make the world a better place for all unless you begin to be a bit honest – even it means not parroting what the politicians say.

I would think that it is often easier for an Asian to find a job as an English teacher in America or Australia, than in another Asian country.

Just look at the advertisements for English teachers. I saw one CV where the person's ethnicity was given as "Caucasian"!

Thanks, for your great answers!
