Discrimination between love




February is a month for all those who are in love. Today my blog will be about discrimination between love and the consequences of discrimination. A movie named” Amarte duele” (Loving you hurts) is a movie that talks about discrimination (click here to see a short resume of this movie). In this case are differences of classes (high- rich, middle- kind of rich, low- poor). In Mexico City there is a word that is offensive for poor people which is naco (A naco is usually associated with lower socio-economic classes. This according to wikipedia.org) naco is used in the movie “Amarte duele.” Naco is usually used to lower a person’s self-esteem. In this movie the consequence of discrimination is death. In many other cases running away, succeeding, killing others and becoming addicted is a way out of discrimination. These can be consequences of discrimination. “He is not good for you, look how he dresses; he is poor that way he won’t even be able to buy your own house, I want something better for you.” These are the words of parents that say that they want a better future for their child, but don’t see that what they are saying is called discrimination. That is the case of my cousin Jairo; he has a girlfriend which is my cousin on my father’s side and he is discriminated by her parents because of the way Jairo dresses. My cousin’s have to see each other in secret. Love is an important thing in our everyday life, if a human does not feel loved the best way of finding love is addictions or death. A good example is building a pyramid with shelter, food, clothing and health but love. If something in the pyramid is missing there is a big probability the pyramid will fall which symbolizes self-esteem. I am not a parent but I am a teenager who sees others experiences and sadness. Parents should let their teenagers choose who they love not who is in a high class in order to have a good future or best dressed of course if their teenager’s love is respectful, clean and not obsessive. When a parent deprives their teenager’s freedom of loving to choose who is best for them the consequences may be fatal. Love and let others love and do not discriminate!!!
