Replies:

• To Question 1 by Hossein Hariri: Children are not mature enough to understand the bitter side of racism.
• To Question 4 by Hossein Hariri: all over / throughout the world, you should omit ‘in’.
• To Question 5 by Hossein Hariri: So good to see you as a registered member, as you used to leave comments as a guest.
  I’m afraid your question does not comply with an interrogative form, i.e. question form or inversion.
  It must be worded as: How can we prevent racism?
  Do you really think racism could be prevented by any chance?
