Ten people lives are in danger due to a nuclear war in the United States of America. There were many shelters available; however, not all shelters were able to survive through the nuclear war. The only shelter that is able to survive through the nuclear war has enough resources to support six people for a year. But the shelter’s capacity is unknown, which there is a chance that the ten people can fit in the shelter. The ten people are the bookkeeper, his pregnant wife, black militant, famous historian, Hollywood starlet, biochemist, rabbi, Olympic athlete, college student and a policeman. Despite all the negative things that are happening; four people have to be evicted out of the shelter. Who would be the four unlucky people that will be evicted?

As social worker students, we went through a difficult phase of choosing who to stay and who to evict. We live in an environment where there is stereotyped and prejudices. As illustrated by Zastrow & K, “because social workers live in a society in which racial and ethnic prejudices abound, they also have prejudices and stereotypes” (Zastrow & K., 2013, p. 271). Social worker is just like any other people, they have prejudices and stereotypes, depending on where they grow up. For this reason, the society that we live in often led us to choose an individual, who we think it capable. In effect, the six people we chose to stay in the shelter are the bookkeeper, his pregnant wife, black militant, famous historian, biochemist, and an Olympic athlete. The first and second people; the bookkeeper and his pregnant wife were chosen because of their innocent unborn child; we could not separate the parents.

We as social worker student did not want to discriminate any person; but the society along with the system can only help certain amount of people. To emphasize, “Prejudice provides the rationale for discrimination, either before or after the fact, and is thus central to understanding discrimination and patterns of ethnic stratification” (Turner & Aguirre Jr., 2011, p. 24). Prejudice is what gives reason for discrimination and is the formation of ethnic discrimination in our society. We as social worker students do not want to be a part of discrimination, but have to do what is best for the group. The first to be evicted; the Hollywood starlet had the talent of dancing, which would not help the nuclear war situation. The Hollywood starlet may entertain the group; however, it would not last long before the group gets bored. The second; the rabbi is a Jewish religious leader. He can help maintain the group’s spirit, but not everyone believes in his belief and would make things more difficult. In addition, the Jewish religious leader cannot help with anything involving the nuclear war. The third person; the college student, who is a great individual that has education; however, the college student does not have the ability to help with
