Sociological Mindfulness/Imagination

I do believe that this guy had many good points and made people open their mind better in to thinking how other people feel and why they do the things they do. If you were to think every time you see someone that is being put down or catch yourself looking down at them or even seeing them being bullied or decimated or anything like that and you pretend to put yourself in their shoes and see what it is like than you will learn a lot about that person and how they might feel. If everyone in this world would think like that and just open their eyes and pretend to be in their shoes than everyone would learn how to treat people better and there would be more peace upon us. Even for me I have witnessed someone being racist to African Americans, Native Americans, Mexicans, or any other ethnic group that is not white be hated on because they do not have the same color of skin as they do. Now I have put myself in their shoes and thought want if I was that African American that is being picked on or beat up or anything else just because I am black skinned. So I thought if everyone would realize how that feels they would learn to be nicer and more respectable to people no made their race, religion, or skin color. That is what I think this video is really all about is that if you see someone being picked on put yourself in their shoes and see how it feels, because no one in this world likes to be undermined or be treated unfairly just because of their skin color or other things. So if everyone were to watch this video and think before they were going to pick on someone they could say hey would it feel good if that kid came and picked on me no so I believe everyone needs to learn to pretend to be in everyone else’s shoes at some point and this whole world would come to peace and calm.

In the big picture of society I just see myself being other middle class American teach my kids and family to treat everyone with respect and to picture themselves in other people's shoes to learn how you can be nicer to them and other people because everyone should be treated with the same respect no matter their skin color, race, or religion.
