Diversity and the Police

I find this picture very compelling. What I took it to represent was that a handcuff around a person who is white is the same as a handcuff around a person who is African American, or any race for that matter. It represents either doing something wrong, making a bad decision or being accused. Having your hand movement restricted is just as dehibilitating, embarassing and frusterating for members of all racial groups.


Police protect and serve ...

THEY ALSO DISCRIMINATE.

The role of police in society is to exercise authoriy in a justified manner when it is needed in order to maintain peace among the general public. However, the power of police officers can be used to unfairly treat citizens of minority in a demonstration of racism and discrimination in a number of situations involving the law and
otherwise.Considering Canada is a multicultural country, this treatment is therefore an act of violation on the public in itself.

Who's job is it to protect diversity?

This graphic shows all of the different countries in the world (represented by their national flags) connected to make a colourful globe that contrasts the standard "water, land, borders" version most of us grew up with.

I love this picture because it shows how beautiful the world is when unique nationalities are all put together. Society should learn from different cultures and races within it because it would form something as stunning as this globe instead of the ugly reality of ignorance, stereotypes and exclusion that appears to be so presently common.
