European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - July 9, 1968, Darmstadt, Hesse I i continued from Pago 13 pushed out of the cities into the country Side where it is not easy for foreigners to see it operate. The caste system separates people into rigid categories. Lowest of All Are the untouchables they Are forbidden for instance to use the same Village Well As the higher castes. Recently in one Village the higher castes threatened to murder an untouchable who had grown a big Mous tache and was waxing it. The charge was that he was being prejudice is transmitted to children by theirn parents or older playmates. Sociologist George w. Rose in Ameri Ca divided says prejudice commonly appears among children at age 5. The prejudice is never instinctive but is taught sometimes with great Effort by parents and occasionally by other another expert Gorden w. Allport agrees and tells this Story to illustrate the Point a Small boy from Ohio went to visit another Small boy in the deep South. One Day the physician in charge of a Hospital for negro women admonished the two boys for being noisy under the Hospital windows. The boy from Ohio told his companion we must be quiet or Well disturb the sick ladies in the the Southern boy re plied you make me sick the Ohio boy asked Why. The Southern boy you make me sick because you re calling those Nigger women Here we have two boys of the same age and the same educational training. Obviously each was accurately reflect ing the atmosphere in his Home and his Community. Once prejudice begins to boil inside the mind of a 5 year old child it is Likely to remain there. In fact it in creases As the years go by and As it increases it becomes More who take time to think Are unlikely to be prejudiced. One of the favorite stories of sociologists involves a British youth at Oxford who announced he hated All americans. Have you Ever met any Ameri cans he was asked. He said he had met hundreds of them and added you know i liked every one of what the youth was hating was no people but an idea and his attitude illustrates How a prejudiced person re fuses to utilize his own experience and try to reason from facts the scandinavian nations Are largely free of prejudice but a worldwide Survey brought out the fact that Australia probably is the least prejudiced of nations. Memo from up Sydney Australia is one of the most hate free societies in the world today. This is partly due to Tho reluctance of australians to Trace their ancestry be cause Many of the first White settlers Here were convicts. Australia is a huge land mass witha relatively tiny population. Apparently there is enough room to absorb allow Europe s traditional hates and pre the prejudice is never instinctive but is taught.99 juices and stifle them. Today there Are no government religious racial or Community inspired campaigns of hater prejudice in Australia. What problems exist can be Trace mostly to neglect and this is especially True of Australia s aboriginal Popula Tion. They live in hopeless poverty. They got into that condition because they simply were unable to Bridge the Gap Between their Stone age Way of life and the new civilization. Over the years the government Cre ated Laws which protected the aboriginal from the White Man but did no protect him from himself. Finally last year a National referendum gave the Federal government the right to intervene with financial id and guidance to the states which will attempt to Rescue the aborigine from their sad plight please please help a teen age girl who is about to flip out. 1 had three dates this Pas weekend one Friday night one saturday night and a skat ing Date sunday afternoon.
