The world we live in is subjective. We may try to claim to be objective, however when some things are embedded so deeply within our minds that we end up making judgments and discriminating entirely subconsciously. Whilst reading the news, I came across this article, does anything in it bother you?
“NEW YORK - More than 100,000 New York City residents have HIV, and 20 percent don't know it. Many sicken and die without learning their status.
New York City health officials want to reverse the trend by making it easier for doctors to administer HIV tests and to monitor the care of people who have the virus. But the issue has drawn outrage from AIDS service providers.
The dispute coincides with the 25th anniversary of the AIDS epidemic. On June 5, 1981, federal health authorities found that five gay men in California had contracted a rare kind of pneumonia, the first recognized cases of what later became known as AIDS.”

Does anything in that particular article bother you at all? I may only be the first three paragraphs; however something in it seems unsettling. If you cannot see it, that is all right, perhaps it is something that is so embedded in your mind you cannot seek to challenge it.
