In the Ted talk called “Want a more just world? Be an unlikely ally”, the woman talking about how people won’t accept for who you are because of your color. She talks about how back in the 1960s, a little girl who was into ballet wanted to participate in dance lessons but couldn’t because she was was black, and her mom didn’t tell about it because she doesn’t want her to find out. This later led to the girl to grow up and find out about it, and she fought for her rights which later put her into learning ballet. In the podcast titled ” The Air We Breathe: Implicit Bias and Police Shooting” it talks about how people are biased on other based on race. In the podcast, they explain that a whit woman called the police for black man who she thought was armed with a weapon.  The black man didn’t have a weapon, but the woman looked at the man by his appearance, in which he was taller then her. Due to the misunderstanding, the police shot and killed the black man and the woman and the man’s family called for suing.  The woman says that man had an appearance who though might threaten her, while the man’s family saw it as a sign as racism. This also connects with what the plot was talking at the beginning with the George Floyd situation, where people demand justice for him and black live, because he was killed by police, even though he posed no threat.  The ways that the video and podcast fit together is that they are talking about racism. Racism has become a huge issue in the United States, and people are fighting for justice so that black people and any other non-whites be treated equally.

As someone who was born into the United States to parent who are ethnicity is Dominican, I can understand the issue that people are having with race. I don’t usually get involved with speaking up about being treated equally, but is see on the news and I can understand why people  are protesting. In my life, I am treated as any other human being, and while there have been some people of my ethnicity background, they don’t look down on me for it. With that said, the way I am seeing social justice has changed my way viewing the world. The world has thought me that not everything is perfect and the issues that we know of like race and sexism is still a problem. What I hope is that people look at the world and realize that it needs to improve itself by speaking out no matter what happens to them. Speaking out will help the world have a better society for future generations.
