  Body shaming A flaw in our society is people who body shame. The definition of body shaming as defined by Oxford Dictionary is "the action or practice of humiliating someone by making mocking or critical comments about their body shape or size." People body shame others because of the way they look. If they do not look a certain way there ridicule them. They also body shame others on what they wear saying how they can not wear articles of clothing that should be on a "skinnier" person and how it does not go with their body type.

Racism is a virus

  Racism is a virus There  will  always  be  racist  people in the world.  And that’s  not  okay, but I don’t  know if that’s  something  that  can  be  totally eradicated. Racism, which is embedded in ideas of Black inferiority, has been transmitted like a virus for generations upon generations. So sometimes it can be hard to be hopeful. We all need to be more open to engaging with diverse groups and live in a society-oriented way, where you’re respectful and loving to your neighbors. Maybe I’d be more optimistic if people who had ignorant ideas would meet other people who are different from them and learn from their perspectives. Racism, or discrimination based on race or ethnicity, is a key contributing factor in the onset of disease.
