Gabriel Polaris Shocks Xtra 10

No to Xenophobia ... ... .. and less in the Classroom !!!!!

To fight something, the first thing to do is meet him.!

What is xenophobia?. In short, we could define this evil that comes from afar, such as anger, fear, distrust, disgust or hostility towards foreigners.
But, of course, not all foreigners, but to the "racist" or "xenophobic" in power, believed to be a "threat", which are below him, those that are social and economic status lower.

In fact, in our land, Andalucia, many people know the difference between what they call "Arabic", and called "moro". While the former, identified with wealth and petro-dollars that come to shop and spend money. These are usually more sympathetic to most people. The second, the "Moors" are immigrants too, but with very low purchasing power, workers who migrate across Europe and we see them in car used and charged to the brim with everything they have on the roof of the vehicle. Yes, we see every summer and Christmas cross the strait, they, unfortunately, only buy water and bread in supermarkets.

Well, the media, internet and word of mouth, we pass these subliminal messages that make us go accustomed to a "normal" conducive to racism and / or xenophobia.

Actually, both seniors, to educate, form or report at home, classrooms or media, not born racist or xenophobic. The xenophobic and racist it is!.

Since a child is born and up to 7 years, is acquiring a set of values \u200b\u200band slogans that those closest to him, and the child is transmitted naturally. At least, that is clear from recent reports social and psychological research on the sealing.

One of the things that teachers can do is tell the students "native" because of their age, possibly unaware that our country and specifically our region, have been historically, people emigrate. Well within: Basque Country, Catalonia, Madrid etc. More industrial cities or towns that created jobs for people in disadvantaged regions (Extremadura, Andalusia, Murcia, La Mancha, Galicia, etc..). O

abroad: American continent (most were Galician) and rich Europe (Germany, France, Switzerland etc.).

Well, parents, uncles, grandparents etc. of children now go to Schools and Institutes (a relative, who was known migrant) were migrants and in turn, aliens and strangers in other lands. What undoubtedly led them to have to adapt to different customs and unfortunately, a different treatment (sometimes insulting) from the "native" of those countries and regions.

So, knowing this, we should be more reflective (think a little about our way of thinking) and therefore will be more tolerant than any "distortion" or bad information, he believes "different" or threat .

different, we all are. It is very difficult, to find Two brothers are alike. Moreover, despite being twins, triplets etc. Each has its own personality. There is the issue. The person and personality.

The xenophobic, potentially, believes the "other", different, is a threat to their privileges. In the Hall, there is or there must be reason. Tear all the way with the same possibilities and will be the effort of each student, which will reward has been developed. In this case, the final grade.

Nor should we forget that the group, the more plural, more culturally and intellectually rich is talking. Or perhaps someone on football issues, certainly the good work of the Barcelona FC, which is a melting pot of players from different countries and cultures?. Not to mention others such as Real Madrid, Sevilla, Valencia etc. For pick up those who have played and play in Europe!.
is proven that after all, what happens to the xenophobic, he's afraid. Therefore, because of their ills on the other, the different and takes refuge among those who have the same fear him.
So that we fear?. If what we get, is the result of our work ... ... ... ... ... .. that we fear?.

If a good environment for study and work, we get the best of ourselves ... ... ... ... .... Why not make it easy?.

Well, we know, after the holidays ... ... ... ... .. A better job, make friends, become better partners and better equipment!

So be it!
