1. Summary
Race refers to the division of human beings into physical differences. For example, skin color and facial features are good examples to focus on. This is rooted in the concept of biological classification. But this is related to social identity. For example, there is a controversy in the hierarchy, because people exercise their influence according to their location. Also, race means social characteristics shared by mankind. There are various kinds of this(nationality, tribe, religious faith, shared language, shared culture, shared traditions) Finally, unlike race, the nation is not allocated from the outside.
2. New/Interesting things I learned
I am interested in historical racism. This paragraph seems to have a lot to raise as a problem. First of all, historical racism is related to the past, and the inequalities experienced by the races (groups) of the past generation are still influencing to date. In particular, African Americans argue that the quality of life has deteriorated due to the abuse of American ancestors. This is the part that I can see by the eye of the present. Education of wealth imbalances and pure values gives faith to this false idea. Also, it is a problem that social history is whitened to the so-called elite, which is economically superior.
3. Discussion Point
I think education implicitly includes thought about society. The education is the face of the country. So, in a country where there is a point of racial discrimination, I think there might be an education problem overall. Of course, it will be difficult to change already planted perceptions, but if you change the way you are educated, your perception of racial discrimination may change profoundly. What do you think?

I think so. I think that students who are educated are becoming important members of society in the future. I think the importance of education is important. Therefore, I think that if education changes, their perception may change little bit.
