           "Making values and norms against prejudice more conspicuous. Sometimes just reminding people about the values they already hold regarding equality and fair treatment of others is enough to reduce discrimination. Similarly, people who hear others making strong, vehement antiracist statements are subsequently more likely to strongly condemn racism."

        I believe that racist manifestations are just stupid stereotypes mixed with human stupidity or ignorance. People who are in equal positions of different races can both achieve great heights and not reach them. It all depends on the person himself, skin color and other physical factors do not play a role. Bad habits can be both Russian and Chinese, for example. Or there may also be some good inclinations in the form of kindness, both in the Russian person and in the Chinese. It all depends on his environment, living conditions, and his lifestyle, which he does himself. (American Psychological Association, 2018)

        Why did I choose this topic? Leftist ideas and views in the West are a very strongly illustrated situation now: BLM movement and other left-hand movements. The basic idea of these movements is to bring justice to society, peaceful protests did it. But then robberies began to happen, people began to destroy the shops of innocent people. I think that BLM as an idea-group is not to blame for this. This organization is defiled by people who, on the wave of some kind of influence, thought that they would go unpunished. This is one of the extremes sides of the anti-racist movement. (American Psychological Association, 2016)


        Psychology can illuminate all positions for people involved in a conflict. And then people on both sides can come to a common compromise. (American Psychological Association, 1998)

First Memory

        I thought for a long time what could be my first memory. And I came to the answer that I do not know exactly which was the first, but I know that there were several of them and I will tell the brightest.

        The memory looks like this. I follow my father and there are huge sheaves of grain around us. My father is growing wheat and it looks like August. Because wheat is gold that means it has been grown. The grain is taller than me but up to my father's waist. I follow my father and this memory ends. Why it pops up often when I think that it could be, I don't know.


        I asked when my dad had it, he replied that I was about 4 years old then. When I start thinking what I remember first, I imagine how many different memories come as if I were in a dream at night, but unfortunately, I cannot compose a whole series of them.
