A CLASS DIVIDED
The video was a
good demonstration of teaching a lesson to the children about the effects of
different treatment when considering their skin color. However, one thing that
I pity the children about their mistreatment of the brown eyes children of the
blue eye children and vice versa. The way children treated each other was not a
surprise in a general sense in regards to the human nature. Although, the same
can be expected from the children, especially at the age of experiment was a total
surprise. The scene in which a child didn't wear his contact lenses the next
day to class after having learned that his blue eyes made him superior to
everyone else. So, he wanted to expose his eyes has much as possible.

Since the world
ha s b ecome a global village it is very important that such experiments need to
be conducted in order to make the point of how people should be treated equally
regardless of their race, religious beliefs and gender. Understanding the need
of diversity from a young age can be useful as this can help ones career if it
involves bringing the best out of people of all personalities and ethnic
groups.
The ability to
work with everyone despite the cultural, racial and religious differences
exposes a person to learn from everyone. The exposure to transculturation in
early age group makes it easier to adjust as o ne moves in higher education
and/or explores career opportunities on a global scale that consists people
with multiple intelligences.
