Korean Life

"Throughout our lives, there are many lessons that should be learned. Perhaps the most important of these lessons, is tolerance. It is very important that people learn to accept people for who they are, not just by their age, gender or race. This year, I have gotten the opportunity to learn about tolerance in many different ways. I have read the book "Night," by Elie Weisel, I have watched the movie "Schindler's List" and I have also read "Our Story," by Greg Siegman.

"Night," "Schindler's List," and "Our Story," were all written for basically the same reason. To teach others how to accept people, and not to judge them based on appearance, but rather to get to know them and then develop opinions of people based on their personality. In "Night," Elie Wiesel witnesses many accounts of intolerance. The whole plot basically centers around the idea of one race being dominant over another. The Nazi's think that Germans are more important than the Jewish people, and they blame the Jews for basically everything that has ever gone wrong in Germany, and therefore, the Germans want to kill off the Jews. In "Schindler's List," Oskar Schindler becomes aware of the situation that is developing around him, and he feels great


In conclusion, tolerance is a very powerful thing. I feel that everyone should be enlightened as to how powerful it is by reading "Night," "Schindler's List," and "Our Story." Each of the stories demonstrates a different way in which intolerance has had a negative influence on people. I think that if everyone reads these stories, they will become more aware of intolerance and the effects it has, thus causing intolerance to become less of an issue.

I think that we can all learn a lesson from Elie Wiesel, Oskar Schindler, and Greg Siegman. That lesson that needs to be learned, is to not judge people. There are some ways that tolerance can be demonstrated in everyday life. It shouldn't take a tragedy to realize that all people should be treated equally. I remember one particular day in my life when I first realized that intolerance was still among us. I was in a department store, waiting to try on some clothes. There was an African American lady standing in front of me. The person that was in charge of the fitting rooms, said that there were no more open and that the lady would have to wait. Right after that, she told me to go right in. She let me go in because I was white. The African American lady in front of me, wasn't very happy. It was at that moment that I realized that intolerance was alive and well. Before that, I thought it had left when slavery was abolished. Now I know that it is unfortunately all around us. I know that I am not perfect. I admit that there have been a few times when I have judged someone based completely on appearance, and I am not proud of that at all. But now that I have read about the experiences of Elie Weisel, Oskar Schindler and Greg Siegman, I have become more knowledgeable when it comes to accepting people for who they are. I am now more able
