Racism in the World
The argument put forth is one from a very idealistic point of view, to create a world where race is insignificant and would allow "full freedom, equality, and justice." But to do this it is said that it is necessary ("the only way" to be exact) to eradicate racism. To eradicate racism is an inquisition of extremely large stature, but I do not believe it is possible.

Fahrenheit 451, 1984, and Brave New World
Fahrenheit 451, 1984, and Brave New World Several conflicting frames of mind have played defining roles in shaping humanity throughout the twentieth century.
