One of the area's that strikes me as most familiar is the similarity of subjectification of various ethnicities, gender or races. Being Moderator of BAGELS has lent itself to also exposing me to various anti-semetic remarks as I am sure women have heard in the guise of sexism. First you have the alienation; Next the subjectification (Nicknames, Slander) Then the actual physical abuse. Same system, different group. Regards, Michael

In order to behave in a way unjustified by one's perceptions,
it is first necessary to use words to redefine them. After
this step is accomplished, people readily commit atrocities,
whoever the target is.

| 19.2 | The Nature of Predjudice | PAMPAM::WYMAN | bob wyman | Sat May 10 1986 21:01 | 7 |
For an excellent discussion of racism, sexism, etc I would suggest
that you study the book "The Nature of Predjudice" by Gordon Allport.
It is a classic and does what it claims: It shows the nature and
origin of predjudice of all kinds.

| 19.4 | Racism, Women and World Peace | MUNCSS::EIJSINK | Han Eijsink, Munich, Germany | Wed May 21 1986 09:12 | 30 |
Racism, one of the most baneful and persistent evils, is a
major barrier to peace. Its practice perpetrates too outra-
geous a violation of the dignity of human beings to be coun-
tenanced under any pretext. Racism retards the unfoldment of
the boundless potentialities of its victims, corrupts its per-
petrators, and blights human progress. Recognition of the
oneness of mankind, implemented by appropriate legal measures,
must be universally upheld if this problem is to be overcome.
...
The emancipation of women, the achievement of full equality
between the sexes, is one of the most important, though less
acknowledged prerequisites of peace. The denial of such equal-
ity perpetrates an injustice against one half of the world's
population and promotes in men harmful attitudes and habits
that are carried from the family to the workplace, to polit-
ical life, and ultimately to international relations. There
are no grounds, moral, practical, or biological, upon which
such denial can be justified. Only as women are welcomed in-
to full partnership in all fields of human endeavour will the
moral and psychological climate be created in which inter-
national peace can emerge.
