Imagine you must design a society where everyone is equal. This may mean equal in wealth, equal in education, equal in opportunity, but it is up to you to decide what “equal” means. A. List five rules or laws that you would need to make so that everyone is equal. (For example, everyone must wear khaki pants and white shirts.) B. Can you predict any problems that might result from these rules and laws? (For example, some people don’t like the color green). Everyone can get an education no matter what their skin color, religion, etc. Problem: Some people will not be fair to people that are different from them, they will do anything to make themselves feel better. If someone is different from what we see as normal they will naturally judge them. Luckily a fair amount of people will keep their thoughts in their head and not say anything, however not everyone will be able to hold back their thoughts and that is when bullying or violence can occur. 2. People can share their own opinions. Problem: Many people do not have the same opinions. If someone doesn’t agree with someone it could result in violence whether it’s physical or verbal. People grow up and learn different views on life based on what they see from adults and peers. 3. People can wear whatever they want in public unless it is inappropriate. Problem: People will have different opinions on what is deemed inappropriate. Different religions, races, etc. Some people might think shorts are inappropriate
Most people now a day usually seek for a better solution rather than being violent. Verbally conversing the problem is one way to have a better outcome. Although, there are some people in this world that would rather side on physically attacking when facing a conflict. If one were to think before action upon, they’d realize how many other options they have to settling an argument without doing harm. Violence should never be an option, but in the novel -- THings Fall Apart -- violence seems to always be the answer.
Justice and equality are both two very abstract concepts with numerous controversial definitions that are never agreed upon. Depending on the situations, justice can be the same as equality, or not. In the modern world, justice is often used as a political slogan, rather than a meaningful pursuit. Meanwhile equality is also one of the leading ideals of political movements, such as equal rights movements for marriage, voting, etc. In order to answer the question: is justice the same as equality, it is necessary to understand the precise meaning of equality and justice, the relationship between the two, the measurement of the two, and their current and historical status.
The United States has become the nation it is today due to several disputes on equality. These disputes have led to the creation of many documents that represent the equality and rights that should be given to every American. An example of two U.S seminal documents are the Economic Bill of Rights and the Brown vs. the Board of Education; these documents not only represent the fights on equality, but both authors use literary devices in order to persuade the reader that their argument is valid.
M1): Analyze the importance to public services of good citizens respecting equality and supporting them by respecting the key concepts associated with diversity.
Bullies get away with bullying because people want to be standing by. Elie Wiesel once said “The opposite of love is not hate its indifference”. People let other people take charge.
You must also take a look at the reasons for violent acts and what constitutes as such. In the “Meanings of Violence” by Dov Cohen and Joe Vandello, they examine the difference in the meaning of insults between the Southerners and Northerners in the United States. They talk about the importance in social status and the concept that anthropologist have called “Culture of Honor”. With the concept individual is based on their social position and how tough they are or what courage they carry. There is also the idea that if a persons social standing in reduced for whatever reason that there is belief that violence could be used to restore their position. The idea of culture-of-honor is that an incident may occur over something as “trivial” as being glanced at wrongly, or showing a threatening insult. The individuals may not see it as being a trivial circumstance but a threat to stand their ground and prove their
For ages, our society has dealt with constant controversies about what is right and what is wrong. In these debates, conflicting perspectives are often exposed to many. People are often taught to permit any different viewpoints, but in reality, continuous acceptance leads to more harm than good. The tolerance of others is essential in our society; however, the line of acceptance is drawn when one’s differences promotes physical violence.
The world we live in today is filled with violence everywhere you look. Whether it be through the news, books, video games, or movies, society is constantly being bombarded with violence and war. Growing up, children learn at an early age that violence can solve any problem. Violence is never the answer. People who act out in violence ruin their own lives and others' lives as well. People die for no reason every day from unstable men, women, and children that act out violently. According to the WHO, World Health Organization, one person is killed every minute. Most problems of this world can be solved peacefully; however, people choose to act out violently instead of working

The violence I see most is cased by a difference in beliefs. For example, hunters and non-hunters. One of the first things a hunter is taught, is the importance of being respectful, not just to the animals and their habitat but to the people who don’t share the same beliefs. Many people don’t believe in hunting, they think it’s cruel and unethical. However, there are just as many people who do believe in it. Violence can, and has, been caused by the difference in beliefs between hunters and non-hunters. I have read about it, seen it on television, and even once saw an argument about it at school.
Independant: I think equality is independent because he didn't want to be like everybody else, he didn't obey the rules and he did whatever he wanted. When he found an abandoned subway tunnel he explores it anyways, even though he knows that the councils do not approve of it. This is an example of independence because he was doing something that nobody else in the society does, and he was doing it all by himself. He also steels materials , manuscripts to conduct experiments with inside the tunnel that he could get in a lot of trouble for doing. Equality is independent in many different ways throughout the book which is what makes him so different from all the other people in the society. The society makes him work as a street sweeper and
Ronald Dworkin is a luck egalitarian, and he endorses the distributive view of equality. In his article, What is Equality? Part 2: Equality of Resources, he differentiates the brute luck and option luck, and this distinction is influential in the later development of luck egalitarianism. In this paper, I will examine Dworkin’s distinction between option luck and brute luck, also I will bring up Vallentyne’s argument which is against Dworkin’s distinction. Lastly, I will raise an example showing that Dworkin’s distinction may not be able to cut option luck and brute luck clearly in some situation.
People in America throughout the ages have not always been equal. People have always wanted to have rights and have equal treatment and be the same as everyone else. Everyone wants to be equal and be the exact same and in 2 stories it talks about people trying to become equal and show people that their is no differences. The 2 stories are “Hum” written by Naomi Shihab Nye, and “Oh Freedom” is written by Casey King and Linda Barrett Osborne . What “Hum” is trying to say is that even though you might be from a different country you are still the same as everyone else. Oh Freedom talks about how everyone should have equal rights and everything should be the same for everyone and it shouldn’t matter if you have different color skin. So overall these sources show that people have been discriminated in the past and still are being discriminated today.
one of the most important and complicated dilemmas of human philosophy: how do we choose
Conflict and differences of opinion exist in every healthy organization. Americans need to try to take control of today's youth and the violence that is and has been developing in this country for many years. Although violence will never be extinct, there are many different ways to reduce violence. Each school and student population has different ways of dealing with and helping to curb the need for violence in schools.
