The 60s

During this time many things were happening as the Hippies movement, Woman movements, Education changes, Vietnam war, American civil-rights movements, Space race between the U.S and the URSS and there were many murders too.

First of all, there were three remembered murders during the 60s. The assassination of civil rights leader Martin Luther King in 1968, the assassination of the US president John F. Kennedy and the assassination of presidencial candidate Robert F. Kennedy.
Because of the Vietnam War appeared many antiwar movements as the hippies, who believe in peace not in war and who were promoting love. Many people protest because of this war. They said that it was not necessary to fight with guns and weaponds because you always can solve thing just talking.

Civil rights were another issue. In the 60s black people suffered discrimination and racism. In some restaurants the entry was not allowed for them and they could enter to the university. With the appearance of Martin Luther King all this thing changes for good.

With the beginning of the 60s also began the Space race. A really strange race between the Soviet Union and the United States. This was a technology war between those countries. This competion starts when the Soviet Union decided to send a spaceflight to orbit the Earth. Because of this the US send another spaceflight to orbit the Earth. The Unitates States won the race when it placed the first human in the Moon: Neil Armstrong

Another important change was womans right. During this years they began to fight in favour of their civil rights. It was very difficult for them to be listen to by the men, but they finally success in their comittment and this was the first step for the new laws that appeared some time later.

Segregation, Discrimination and Racism

If we think about this three words, we automatically think about bad thing. Of course, because those words are related to murder, suffering and sorrow.
Now that I read more about Marthin Luther King and some other people who fought against the racism, segregation and discrimination, I can affirm that this kind of things happened in the past, are happening now in the present, and if we don’t do something about it quickly, this would be continue happening in the future.

It is not fair for someone to be judged because of his or her color skin or because of his or her financial situation. Well, this happened during the 60s. Black people or “Negro” were discriminated because of their color skin. During this time, people were thinking that black people were not as much as important as they were. White people made a mistake by leaving a side black people. Why? Because black people had demonstrated that they are as intelligent as we are, as pretty as we are and that they can also be good persons as we are.
The racism, has punished many countries. So much in Europe as in America Latina and North America have had some problems with racism. This is because in some schools and Universities have been some problems among the students because of the racism. Some of them had murder their classmates because of this type of prejudice.

Now a days this has continue happening. Believe it or not this is a big problem in the entire world. We need to fight together if we want this to stop. Because of this, a lot of people are suffering all over the world. This is not fair to them because they have the same rights as we have, so they deserved respect.
