Racism in the Society

AskOxford.com defines Racism as the belief that there are characteristics, abilities, or qualities specific to each race or discrimination against or antagonism towards other races.

Racism in Asia.
In Cambodia, there has been a strong anti-Vietnamese sentiment. Where else, in Indonesia there has been a lot of violence against the affluent Chinese population who have been blamed for economic problems that have plagued the country in recent years and as noted by Wikipedia in an article on racism, “until 2003, Malaysia enforced discriminatory laws limiting access to university education for Chinese students who are citizens by birth of Malaysia, and many other laws explicitly favoring bumiputras (Malays) remain in force.”

Look at what is going on in today's society. Even educated people are being racist. Why is there a need of being racist when we all share the same mother earth and sky? More over when we live in the same country and society. Think about what is going to happen to our next generation if the act of racism still goes on. The world will never be a better place to stay in.

Think about this issue of racism. Would people like you and me agree or disagree with it?

Would you agree with Abortion?

Do you know that according to The Center of Bio-Ethical Reform that the number of abortions per year are approximately 42 Million and the number of abortions per day is approximately 115,000 worldwide? 83% of all abortions are obtained in developing countries and 17% occur in developed countries.
Abortion according to the teaching of religion is wrong but do we really want to see more babies being killed or being left around at the side of the road just because pregnancy before marriage is an issue or mothers cannot affort to raise their children?
Recently in Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia, on the 15th of October 2008 in New Straits Time, a 21 year old mother was caught for leaving her baby in a mosque causing the death of the baby.
