To Kill A Mockingbird-Questions

Q: Conduct an interview with a friend (not from HCI) or family member. Find out from their point of view on prejudice and discrimination. Either record the interview or write out the interview transcript.

(Interviewee: Johnny Kingster)

Me: Hi Johnny!

Johnny: Yo

Me: I am here to conduct an interview about your views on prejudice and discrimination. Could you tell me your views on prejudice and discrimination?

Johnny: Well, I feel that it is very unfair. All human beings are made equal, so there shouldn't be any discrimination. Let me use the racial discrimination in South America in the early 20th century as an example. The blacks were treated as animals, and refused certain privileges and were totally marginalised. There have even been cases of black people being hung because they were rude to white people!

Me: It's outrageous.

Johnny:I agree. I feel that the white people then are really very arrogant. What makes them think that they are superior to black people, and they can ship them back to their country to be slaves? Well, actually, I just had an interesting thought.

Me: Tell us.

Johnny: What if, it was the black people who shipped the whites back to their country as slaves? Would racial prejudice still occur? Will prejudice and discrimination still exist with the black people in charge?

Me: Well, personally I feel that as long as there one party assumes higher status, racial prejudice will still occur.

Johnny: You have a point here. Anyway, I still feel that racial prejudice is very unfair and should be condemned.

Me: Anything else you want to add?

Johnny: Nope.

Me: Thank you for telling me your views. Good bye

Johnny: See ya
