9.B
Introduction
Hello
My name is Sarah Stoličná. I live in small town Levoča (in Slovakia).
I am fifteen years old and I study at elementary school on Franciscihostreet.
I am in class 9.B.
Ethnic groups and religion
The main ethnic group of students in our school are white people -Slovaks. But in Levoča you can also find people of different ethnicgroup – Roma people.
Main religion in our school is Roman Catholicism = cental person isJesus Christ, his life, death, resurrection and his teaching. We havegot also pupils with other religions, for example – Protestants, GreekCatholics or Atheists.
I have never seen pupil, who disriminated someone because of theethnic origin or religion in our school.
Racism
My definition of racism:
It is something like prejudice against people with physical differences.Racist discriminate people of another ethnic groups, because they aredifferent.
Interesting facts:
In Zimbabwe was racism against the white farmers because Africans haven'tgot a lot land
In Indonesia there was terror against the Chinese people, because theywere blamed for economic problems in that country.
President Obama's middle name is Hussain, but he is Christian
Some groups as HateWatch have gone as far as buying racist domain names
Xenophobia
My definition of xenophobia:
It is a fear of anything foreign - for example places, people ...
Interesting facts:
Xenophobia comes from the Greek words xénos ('the stranger' and 'theguest‚) and phóbos ('fear')
Xenophobia is a thought that other people are foreign or they areoutside the community
Diversity
My definition of CULTURAL DIVERSITY:
It's variety of human societies in the world
We have to respect people from another culture, because we all don't live at thesame place, we all have our own traditions and habits – we are all different
My definition of ETHNIC DIVERSITY:
It is a variety of different ethnic groups
I have repeatedly, but we all don't live at the same place, we are all different and inmy view it's amazing thing, because we can to know more about them or country inwhich they live
Why is it important to understandcultural differences?
Our world don't need wars and violence. Why we still discriminate peoplefrom another ethnic groups with different culture? I don't understand it. Weall are the same humans. We have to try to undrstand people fromcountries all over the world, their languages, their traditions, theirthinking. All these things just teach us how to know new region, new folk,new languge or new nature.
Meet and get to know each other, throw away
prejudices and try to see positive side

Conclusion
It doesn't matter if you're black or white, religious or atheist. We all bleed red, we'reall the same, we're all human. Why people judge others? Our mission is help andprotect, no discrininate someone else. Let's build a world together. World withoutviolence, wars, racism or xenophoby. World full of international love,understanding, friendship and peace. Let's be together like one planet, onecountry, one family. I hope once in that dream world our children will grow up andwe – their parents - will stand by them while they will build relationships with othernationalities.
The end
Thank you for yourattention
