Mississippi burning

Mississippi burning was a movie watched these two lessons. The story was about three persons murdered because two of them were black and another was a Jew. They were killed by the KKK who were extremely racist. Two FBI agents were called down to investigate and later found that this town was extremely racist and the blacks drank from different sink from the white, buried in different cemeteries, and lived away from them. This made the FBI's work very difficult as the black would not dare to talk to the FBI because the KKK will attempt to attack them if they do. In the end, the FBI agents set a trap and managed to get hold of one of the KKK, Lester. Through lester, they finally managed to track down the the entire bunch of people in the KKK.

This movie truly reflects how racism can cause hate and fights and deaths. It shows how scary racism is, and how we should try our best to avoid it. We should also learn to respect others no matter what their race is.

Compromise

Compromise is whereby two parties come to an mutual agreement when they adjust their requirements to suit each other. Normally both parties would think they lose out at the end of the argument and wonder if they are at the unfair side. If side a has 4 requirements and side b has 4 opposite requirements, compromising is around taking 2 requirements of a and other 2 from b, and both will have to agree on the decision to be called compromised.
