I think that is useful but not enough to say sorry to the minorities for many reasons. One of them is because actual generation of people has to be aware of what happened during the period of social exclusion and discrimination, whether of minorities, aborigins or different social groups; in order to avoid the same treatment for those people. Another reason could be the support that almost the majority of those communities need, they have to be understood, to be protected and respected by everybody without any exception. Their customs, beliefs and practices have to be valued and appreciated, not been violated nor excluded by the "modern society". And a finally argument is because since they don´t perturb our lives nor our traditions, we have to respect them and to promote legislations that defend their rights and the inclusion in the nation development.
They belong to our territory and to our history, so why do we have to eliminate them? They also contribute to our economy, to our national identity, so let´s not forget them, instead let´s educate, support and integrate them into our civilization politically, economically, socially and culturally!!
I totally agree. It is not enough to say sorry to all those people that was discriminated and mistreated. It is necessary to implement political and social measures in order to give them back the rights that were taken. It is important to understand their social conditions as well as take them into account as a part of the society that has the same opportunities of everyone. Minorities and ethnic groups could not be excluded; in contrast they should be included into the communities being treated equal than other individuals.
ResponderEliminarSaying Sorry is very important in order that the minorities realize that the people that have discriminated them are willing to accept them as equal, but as you say, this is not enough, a lot of policies and laws have to be made in order to the reintegration to be truly done
