In the book, All American Boys, by Jason Reynolds and Brendan Kiely, Quinn struggles with conflicting loyalties to both his convictions about the incident and his relationships to the people he loves. While he wants to maintain his relationships he can’t ignore the facts of the incident. His friends and family can’t understand why he is so adamant about standing up for Rashad. While some of his relationships are ultimately damaged by his actions, others survive and heal. He eventually learns that being a loyal friend does not necessarily mean always being in agreement and, in this novel, Quinn demonstrates loyalty to both his friends and his conviction even when the two are in conflict.

In her powerful, realistic play, “Good Kids”, Naomi Iizuka wrote the play with intentions of bringing a horrendous real-life situation of sexual assault to people’s attention and revealing the dramatic impact that social influence has on the situation. With high aspirations, Iizuka intended to not only educate people, but to also encourage people to take the proper precautions in an effort to prevent sexual assault from transpiring to themselves, friends, and others. Within this theatrical performance, a teenager named Chloe is raped by a high school jock named Connor and his friends whom all play the game of football together. Iizuka utilizes Chloe’s friend and cousin to reveal how Chloe’s sexual assault could have been prevented. If Chloe’s friend would have not let Chloe out of her sight, and if Chloe’s cousin would have given her a safe ride home, then Chloe would have not been drugged and raped by the football players. Furthermore, Iizuka intended to reveal how Chloe and Connor were not the only ones affected by the sexual assault, but friends, family, classmates, and parents were also dramatically affected too.

Equality is something we humans crave for when we are in a time of hardship. When we are being discriminated against, we feel the utmost pain and the need for freedom. Discrimination has lingered since the beginning of time, and ending it is impracticable. A French novelist, Honore de Balzac proclaims, “Equality may perhaps be a right, but no power on earth can ever turn it into a fact.” Here, Balzac is acknowledging that an individual is born a free man and is just as equal as any other man. But, an individual will never be fully equal as they desire. Some parts of society will try to act superior to a certain quality of someone’s life, like their race, religion, culture, etc. This statement proves to be valid in Khaled Hosseini’s novel,

The route the children are designated to take, in addition, is specified in the writing to inspire in the audience fear. The segregated school for Black students is located within a mass of railroad tracks, warehouses, and red-light districts, all notably dangerous locations for children to be in. By specifically mentioning that Ellison had “forbidden words” added to his vocabulary, he implies that he had interacted with the many unsavory individuals in the area to the extent of learning immoral materials or skills (Ellison 4433). This emotional appeal enforces the idea that impressionable children are innocent and that their actions were forced upon them by the adults in control. It also appeals to the parental instinct to protect children and preserve their future. By being forced to maintain continuous exposure to dangerous environments and professions of ambiguous morality, the Black children are victims of tarnishing and possible injury by the White authority purposefully segregating the children to hazardous areas. The strategy in specifying the unfortunate circumstances the African American children are facing is for causing the White adults to appear as villains who impose professionals of socially denigrated on innocent children. In contrast, Ellison, despite not doing anything particularly virtuous, is designated the ‘hero’ to be cheered for along with all his associates and peers, who are also victims.

Craig Silvey dedicates his book to show how beings regarded as ‘evil’ always has a reason for their wrongdoing. Whether they be being brought up in an abusive family or just the development of bad habits, Jasper Jones combats both of these hardships as part of being an ‘outcast’. It also shows the devastating effects it has on not only himself, but the world around him. Also touching on discrimination, the audience learn that false perception is the reason why there are many stereotypes in society. Moreover, the main message being conveyed is that ‘ You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view’. And this was what Charlie did to unravel the secrets of discrimination and injustice such as from Jasper’s point of view when being beaten and mistreated just for being suspected of a

Discrimination and prejudice interfere with people’s rights to have access to equality of opportunity and hinder the promotion of diversity, and they should have no place in a children’s setting.

Discrimination based on religion or race has been a worldwide problem throughout history. Through bullying, we readily see discrimination everyday throughout the hallways of Belleville West. Bullying has been a recent problem that many schools are still trying to prevent. The victims are in a tough place, similar to Lakshmi from the book Sold written by Patricia McCormick. Lakshmi bullying was much harder, being forced to work in a whore house, but took the same emotional toll that many victims face. Living life as a sex slave completely changed Lakshmi, and she easily could have given up her will to live; instead she persevered, overcoming her physical and emotional obstacles. With those obstacles, McCormick’s

Imagine living in barracks, starved, then gassed because of your religion. Getting accused of raping someone because of your skin tone, then getting put in prison. Or getting spat upon because you’re a Jew. All of these things occurred at some point in history, and we are shown what this is like through novels, plays and book such as; “To Kill a Mockingbird”, “The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian”, “The Merchant of Venice”, and real world occurrences such as the Holocaust. Today I will be talking to you about the ways that prejudice is portrayed in all four of the novels, plays and historic time marks.

In today 's society, equality is a big deal, with many people still fighting for their rights. People all over the world are still being discriminated against, a topic that is not uncommon for a vast amount of dystopian novels. In fact, it 's a very common theme for multiple dystopian pieces. Scott Westerfeld 's Uglies, Joelle Charbonneau 's The Testing, Liam Hughes ' The Social Classes, Kurt Vonnegut Jr. 's Harrison Bergeron, and Wes Ball 's interpretation of The Maze Runner all have social discrimination integrated into their story lines. Despite the many problems in dystopian societies, authors also present the classic hero that rises above those issues and works to rebuild their government or community. However, a hero isn 't just born, they 're made through a series of events such as problems with social class discrimination.

People can not put on the news without seeing at least one story about social inequality or injustice, if everyone knows about these inequities why are they not being solved? Inequities are not limited to America, social inequity is a global problem making it extremely important to raise awareness of the topic.

Many types of discrimination are present in society today, however, are the authors of today portraying it correctly in their works? Wonder is a story about a young boy named Auggie with facial deformities that encounters discrimination. Discrimination is the act of being stopped from doing something solely based on looks, race, social class, age, or gender. Discrimination can come in all forms, although some question how large the issue is in order to be described as discrimination. The social issue of discrimination is not relayed accurately throughout Wonder.

In colonial America, certain groups of people, specifically women and people of color, had to face societal struggles, such as discrimination. Discrimination can be based on many different characteristics—age, gender, weight, ethnicity, religion, or even politics. For example, prejudice and discrimination based on race is called racism. Oftentimes, gender prejudice or discrimination is referred to as sexism. Discrimination is often the outcome of prejudice, a preformed negative judgment or attitude. General well-being, self-esteem, self-worth, and social relations can be severely impacted in a negative way as a result of discrimination. Unfortunately, this obstacle still exists in our society today, but it is definitely not as severe as it was back in colonial American times. This idea that many times, certain groups in society are discriminated against due to their race, gender, appearance, etc. is a theme that is expressed in the early American texts, “The Story of an Hour” by Kate Chopin, “The Crucible” by Arthur Miller, and “On Being Brought from Africa to America” by Phillis Wheatley.
