RACIALISM

As we all know, Malaysia is a country rich of different cultures, identities and races. Malaysia is a definite place to visit for tourism as our country provides a very wide range of ethnicity and hospitality worldwide. However, due to certain outcomes, Malaysia could just be a history amongst tourism in future someday.

Students in universities and schools seems to be the cause to this uncivilized action. Their eager of not-to-be friends with other different races is the main reason to this issue of racialism that we are facing. Since the young citizens are the ones that will be leading the country in decades to come, therefore, this issue needs to be handled and curb before it cannot be fixed. Just like the sayings ‘do not cry over a spilt milk’.

In my opinion, teachers will play a very important role to this big issue. This is because students spend more time at school than at home thus making the teachers as a second parent to them. Furthermore, we all know that as a child, we don’t usually listen to our parents but we listen more to other people since we do not want them to accuse or make bad assumptions of ourselves. Therefore giving the teachers higher chances in educating and applying good principles to the students.

In making this solution a reality, teachers will have to be a very good example amongst the students. Teachers should talk and use the language which everyone in class can understand. By doing this, students from other races will not feel isolated and as a result, the class will not be polluted by a negative environment. Furthermore, students will also follow the teachers action by not speaking their own tongue language even if there is other colleagues of different races around.

Other than that, teachers can also held an event or activities on various cultures and races so that students can learn, appreciate and be more expose to other cultures and races. As a result, students will understand more on each other’s different beliefs and they can exchange or expand their knowledge if there is any exercise modules on cultures and races.

Besides that, teacher should teach the students moral values on workmanship and also on being friendly. To accomplish this, teachers can set a seat arrangement in class to help the students of different races to communicate together by seating them together as one group. Students that object this order should be fined with a small fees or a small fine.

In addition, I think that it is most important for teachers to also be friends and communicate with other teachers of different races. In this way, students will not use the teacher as an excuse for them not to befriend with students of other races. In other words, the teachers image will not be condemned ny students on this subject.

To conclude my statement above, the only way for students to sharpen their respect towards each other is by them looking up to their teacher. Therefore the teachers should really know their role and set a good example to the students.
