A conquest, colonization, enslavement These definitions are so cruel and severe, but at the same time so common and known to the Earth citizens. All horror of these processes lies not only in a forcible alien misappropriation, but on a brutal conquerors’ behavior, which annihilates the human soul and spills over into the deplorable consequences for a future generation.
The settlers impose by force their own traditions and foundations, holidays, beliefs, political institutions, legal tenets. They make the enslaved peoples forget a historical heritage and get rid of the eternal values, such as religion and language. The conquests cause a clash between the different, and often contradictory cultures. The newly found cultures occur to be unclear and divergent from the major cultures. This becomes one of the reasons for their destruction. To survive for the colonized peoples means to hide the native beliefs.
In spite of the spiritual values, it is not possible to veil the physiological characteristics. The contrast discrimination – Black vs. White – the discrimination for the skin color is the eternal struggle ever known. If you have different from the white skin pigment, you are doomed to a “special” attitude to your personality. Here it comes not only about old times. This problem is urgent today also. In comparison with a black immigrant, a white one will assimilate easier, and in three generations will become the enjoying full rights member of a new society. The person with a black skin can not do this.
The most striking example of the contrast discrimination is an Afrinan Americans case. Against the will, African Americans have been brought to a new country as slaves. Slowly and painfully the history has presented them a number of determining legal changes: slavery has been abolished, Afrinan Americans have been given their freedom and the right to vote. However, the pain from the elder generation humiliation lives in the hearts of the modern people today, as well as the contemporary cases of the contrast discrimination.
