Up until today, discrimination and prejudice are still visible among societies around the world. Although we are living in the modern era where civilization practically shaped our personalities and perceptions to less discriminate, but apparently, I wouldn't see it as a failure but it didn't manage to reach the expectation towards the definition of 'Modern Civilization'. Haven't we learnt anything from history? Do we want certain events like the Holocaust or the KKK to be repeated? As we all know, those historical yet tragic events happened just within 60/70 years ago, not exactly a long time ago and God knows what other discriminative tragedies occurred on the other side of the world during that same time. Can we say that people had evolved or outgrown from these behaviours through time? Maybe yes for some, but of course not for all.
