QUESTION 6. WRITE A COMPOSITION ANSWERING THIS QUESTION: Why is racism so difficult to eradicate? (Approximately 120 words)

Solución: Sample answer: Despite decades of progress and human rights movements, racism remains deeply rooted in societies around the world. There are several reasons why this problem is particularly hard to eradicate. Firstly, prejudices and stereotypes are often learned at home and passed down from generation to generation unconsciously. When children grow up hearing biased comments, these beliefs become normalized. Secondly, institutional inequalities in areas such as employment, justice, and education perpetuate discrimination, making it difficult for minority groups to achieve true equality. In addition, fear of difference and lack of education often lead people to blame minorities during times of economic or social crisis. To conclude, eradicating racism requires not only legal reforms, but also ongoing education, empathy, and active self-reflection from all members of society.
