Another common cause for baseless persecution is religion. In the middle east, people are being murdered and mutilated in many unspeakable ways because of their religion. This is exactly what Hitler did back during World War II, and it is one of the most tragic events in human history. It is my duty as a Catholic (I'm Catholic) to take a stand against prejudices of any and all kinds. God has called us to spread the word, and I intend to do just that. How can anyone just sit idly by and watch as innocent people are murdered? I think that something has to be done, but I have no idea what it is.
In "To Kill a Mockingbird", By Harper Lee, Tom Robinson, a black man, is found guilty for something he didn't do, simply because he is black. It is sad that people will stereotype a whole group of people and treat them differently based solely on some irrelevant aspect of them, such as skin color or religion. You would think, that in the 21st century, we would be past this, right? Well, no. There are still many cases of black people being shot and killed by police officers and people who think their lives are "endangered", simply because they were unfortunate enough to be born as a black person. Why should you have to suffer because of the color of your skin?

Keep this in mind as we delve into some readings in the third trimester. We'll be reading/watching about ordinary people, many of them around your age, who felt compelled to do something to combat social injustice. BTW, please go back and post an image.
