America Equal Opportunity

In America, the land of the free, people believe that it’s the greatest place to be. And America would probably be what everyone believes, but it has a very serious problem that could eventually destroy the country as whole. America is built upon Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, but it has a strong equality issue that has to be taken care of. Equality is a social contract in America and unfortunately it is a broken one. A social contract is an agreement amongst the members of a society, but equality is a serious issue. Equality poses the biggest problem to America simply because in any country the people make the country, and if the people can’t get along either internal conflicts occur, or people eventually leave. Throughout America everyone regardless of race, color, or sexual orientation has experienced inequality in some part of America. Words are exchanged, fists are thrown, and in serious cases lives are lost because people are racists to one another. Equality is a broken social contract in America that will eventually be its demise if not attended to.

Ever since then, America has been getting better at the notion of equality, however, It really hasn’t gotten there yet. This is evidenced by such things as Affirmative Action. People may feel that Affirmative Action was necessary when it was created in the 1960s. Black citizens experienced discrimination in work and educational environments. However, many people now challenge the ideals and actions represented by Affirmative Action as being reverse discrimination. There is a long list of court actions spurred by the controversy surrounding Affirmative Action (Affirmative Action Fast

America has changed over the years from first being colonized, there is no longer disadvantages for those that are racially different. For example, African Americans and Mexicans before used to be discriminated by white people, but now they are considered equal in society. They have the opportunities to move up in the social class that they

America has tried many things to achieve equality. The Declaration of Independence states “...all men are created equal… with certain unalienable rights… life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” This document was supposed to show everyone that we all deserve equal rights, and we are all created equally. It was written to open people's eyes and show them that we are all equal and no one person deserves to be discriminated against. Yet after this was written in 1776, nothing changed. Later on, Abraham Lincoln wrote

Equal opportunities have not always been available. Women used to not be able to have the same jobs as men, and men that were not white were unable to have jobs that a white man could have. Throughout the course of history, different things have occurred that allow equal opportunities for each person, regardless of skin color or gender.

People, who say that America is still the land of equal opportunity, simply disregard the problems the country is facing. Racial and economic inequalities are the two biggest problems America is facing and these two problems keep America unequal. In order for the country of equal opportunity to solve these problems, government should intervene more with the regulations and laws like Affirmative Action, which do not some people achieve their American

Our society has made many steps in the right direction to equality within the last 10 years alone. A few examples being, an African American president, homosexuality in the military, and more recently same sex marriage allowed in all 50 states. Some would say we have made amazing progress with the issue of equality in today’s age, yet there are still many issues proving that we haven’t done our job completely. So with that being said, our government has only protected a limited amount of freedoms.

The history of Equal Employment Opportunities in the United States started in the 1960’s. When the Congress established the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. It created the EEOC to enforce Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The EEOC’s headquarters are in Washington, D.C. The EEOC has 50 field offices nationwide which is our civil rights agency. The purpose of the Equal Employment Opportunity laws of 1961 was for President John F. Kennedy Executive Order 10925 was telling the federal contractors to take "affirmative action to ensure that applicants are treated equally without regard to race, color, religion, sex, or national origin." During this same time frame he created a Committee on Equal Employment Opportunity.

Throughout history society has had multiple problems with equality. Not just in the U.S., but the whole world. For example the civil rights movement, Russian Revolution, Arab Spring and many others. All of these Revolutions were caused because they wanted the same rights as the person next to them. The civil rights movement was the one that was based more in America. They had famous characters like Malcom X, Martin Luther King jr, and Rosa Parks.They had many problems with segragation, and violence they protessed agaianst many white men and women who thought they didn’t deserve the same rights that they had. Arab spring was a quick revolution Finally the Russian Revolution where characters like Napoleon, Squealer, and Snowball (animal farm)

As Orwell said, some animals are more equal than others. All men are not created equally. Some aspects that make us such a unique race is our diversity. Diversity in the human population is what makes each and every one of us so special. But, in other aspects, men are created equally and should be treated so where they are not. All men and woman should be guaranteed equal rights and equal opportunities, which throughout the history of the world and even our current state of affairs is not true. One of the biggest controversial issues in the world and especially the United States is equality and equal rights. This should apply to everyone no matter what sex, religion, or race you are. There are groups of people who claim to be fighting for “equality”, but are they really fighting for equality or just better rights for themselves? All of this ties into affirmative action, and how it is supposedly making things more “equal” but is actually only widening the gap between equality for all races.

Equality is a very significant part of our lives, no matter where one lives. Most Americans believe their country judge others based on their individual merit, not on their background. However American are more equal today. There are three differences in the equality between the white and African-American people which are education, economics and representation in government.

Daniels uses the “fair equality of opportunity” for his argument on his views on the strong right to healthcare. He states that you can 't be considered a normal functioning human if you are diseased or have disabilities that restrict your range of opportunities. Because everyone should be able to obtain the same equal opportunities, if adequate healthcare is what they need to get back to a normal functioning state then that is what they should be able to receive. Buchanan thinks that the notion of a universal right of decent minimum healthcare cannot justify a mandatory decent minimum policy because it fails to demonstration distributive justice along with utilitarianism. His four main arguments that account for a right to a decent

A nation that is know as a “melting pot” and that is suppose to be a nation of equal opportunity has a major problem. The United States of America is supposed to be the gold standard of the world. We have always been told than anyone from anywhere in the world can come to the United States and reach the goals and become successful. However, the America we live in today is very different one than we are lead to believe. The United State of America has a major racism problem. Minorities in the United States are treated unjustly. Whether its having less opportunity or being treated unfairly in are criminal justice system. We have made many strides to equality in America but we are far from where we need to be.

Equality has been a problem to be solved since the beginning of time. Equality has been a problem in not only gender, but also race. America has always had its ups and downs when government brought up the subject of equality. In the time period of 1865-1929, America opened and closed doors for the equality Native Americans, women, African Americans, and immigrants.

America has always prided itself in being a symbol of hope and prosperity in the world. America , as a country, has gone through many trials and tribulations to get where it is today; it had to fight for its independence, fight through two World Wars, revive its once demolished stock market, and fight with more countries for some reason or another to further its own goals. As we all know, as America succeeded, it rose to be one of the greatest nations on this planet, but many of the general audience of America and its citizens forget and sometimes deny the problems and flaws this country has had for the past couple of centuries. Gender inequality is a problem that still exists even though there have been many debates and political and
