Prejudice and Discrimination

The main message of the song "Where is the Love" is prejudice, discrimination and racism towards people of different skin colour. Firstly the title of the song shows that people are not treating each other equally, especially so between people of different skin colours and races. The song also demonstrates how white people have a sense of superiority and treat black people poorly. People of different races "only have love for their own race, and then they only have room to discriminate", as quoted from the song.
The part of the song that I have the strongest feelings for is the 2nd verse. People claim that everyone treats each other with love and peace, however that is not the case. Wars still occur and discrimination still exists. These ultimately affect everyone and potentially causes death as well. I think that the song 's lyrics are very meaningful and I do not think that it could be more true.
In conclusion, I think that we have to put an immediate stop to discrimination and prejudice. We should never judge anyone based on their outer appearance. Although it might not be possible to stop it immediately, we should play our part and do not be prejudice.
