Exercise 4 Answer
“Race must be viewed as a social construction. That is, human interaction rather than natural differentiation must be seen as the source and continued basis for racial categorization” (Lopez 196). I find this quote very interesting and significant. I can apply this quote in future activities such as further research in terms of uprooting the problem of discrimination in the society. The key to resolve the problem of discrimination and inequalities is to enlighten everyone that race is not a natural influence but a human concoction that must be destroyed in order to liberate the society from wrongful notion.
