Examples Of Racism In The Crucible

When a large company begins hiring they try to pick an individual that would be perfect for their store and customers. Many large companies try to avoid hiring individuals that face hate around the world, they do this because they want customers to feel safe around the store.

Just because a certain terrorist group follows islam, does not mean every muslim is a terrorist and causes terrorism. Terrorism does not have a religion, and islam is not a religion that teaches terrorism. Even though the themes that were shown in the crucible took place many years ago, some are still relevant in today 's
