GROUP INQUIRY PROJECT BY: OWEN, JASON, JAYDEN, AND SHAE
THE QUESTION: WHY DOES DIVERSITY LEAD TO CONFLICT? Throughout the semester of English, we have learned a lot. Everything from essay writing to poetry has been covered. But one topic stood out in all of these works we read and learned about. Why does diversity and difference cause such conflict and hate?
RE-VISITNGTHE PAST A good example of this conflict is a movie called Hidden figures. It was about the coloured women who helped figure out and calculate the math in order to send and retrieve someone from space. The movie is based around an extraordinary woman by the name of Katherine Johnson and her struggles at NASA. She was a brilliant black female mathematician but was constrained not only because she was a woman, but also by the colour of her skin.
PART 2 Simply because of these two things, she was harassed, humiliated and treated like a lesser person, even though she was better at math than anyone else there. I think that the only reason she wasn t accepted was because of society. People had just been taught to think less of someone with coloured skin, which was extremely unfortunate. I think it was more so an extreme example of mob mentality. People who wouldn t normally behave that way got caught up with prejudice and racism.
