Equality : Equality In Society

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.

The struggle against a totalitarian government is unsurprisingly a frequent theme in dystopian literature. Almost by definition the genre is set in a futuristic society characterized by extreme oppression and despondence. Malevolent autocrats at the helms of totalitarian governments have, throughout our history, been responsible for innumerable travesties. This young century alone has witnessed the evil of Bashar al-Assad, Omar Bashir, and Saddam Hussein. Probing only slightly deeper into our collective memory, we are acquainted with the reigns of Idi Amin, Pol Pot, Mao Zedong, Josef Stalin, Hideki Tojo, Francisco Franco, and (of course) Adolf Hitler. The last hundred years have undeniably been bloody, and it is therefore only natural that

Former president John F. Kennedy once said, “If we cannot now end our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity.” Back in the 1930’s, this was a rare and very unpopular opinion, especially in the south. Blacks suffered extreme discrimination and Jim Crow Laws while women were regarded as foolish and inferior to men. Now, in 2018, there is equality for all, upheld by the law and supported by society. There are many differences in social roles and standards from the 1930’s and in today’s society of equality and opportunity for all.

The matter of equality has always been a hot topic in every avenue of news, in every new stand and now on every web browser. Some of the earliest stands for equality were rioting in the streets of London for women’s suffrage, and human, rights. Even the pilgrims had to stiff the upper lip and break away to the New World for religious freedom. No matter the time, equality for one, always means oppression for another, until the underdog stands and fights.

Inequality has been a long standing issue in societies. Though many constitutions and laws are constructed from the belief that all men are created equal, the widely accepted declaration has been proven false numerous times by the arise of social injustices plaguing societies around. With issues such as racism, sexism, ableism, classism, ageism, and religious oppression constantly being the topic of conversation it is almost impossible for one to believe that indeed everyone is equal. In actuality the belief that everyone is created equal is a flawed mentality because equality is defined is where everyone is the same despite the differences such as sex and race that makes them different. Humans as mammals were not made to be nor look the same

Equality. Equality is a highly subjective word. To some it means being on the same playing field despite possessing disabilities, being a different gender or differing identity. To others, equality is already achieved, but certain demographics fail to notice. It can be agreed certain locations have achieved equilibrium, such as Denmark, Iceland, and Finland. Whereas for others countries it is evident that such status is favorable towards one group - very apparent in India and Algeria because such societies favor healthy males. On a global scale, there is a lot of work to be done in order to get proper representation from all fields of life. But on a national scale, in terms of equality in the United States, as a whole, the first world country

Is there really a perfect world? Is there a perfect place where anyone can be themselves and not be discriminated against for it? Well if there is, it is not here in America. The United States is no utopia, it still has barriers to overcome in the matter of equality. The Unites States is not a post-racial country even though most Americans would like to believe so. Equal opportunity is just one myth america has to offer. The people in America are not viewed in the same way as one another, everyone is seen as different. People are often seen differently because they may look a different way.

It is often said that in our society we have such a thing as equality, but is it actually there?, or has it become a myth. Discrimination happens everyday, anywhere at anytime. It comes from the lowest class to the highest class. People that judge you based on your looks, race, even the way you talk, dress or walk. They are everywhere and people are not treated equally

In the middle to late 1800s, diversity swept across the United States of America. What is diversity? Diversity implies a wide variety in gender, race, culture, ethnicity, age, and other characteristics of certain groups ("Diversity," 2006). Diversity is present in every possible aspect of life. It does not matter where one goes or what one does in America, no two people look or act exactly the same. America has been and still is known as a nation of freedom and diversity. Today, America is considered to be the "melting pot," a place where all cultures are supposedly accepted and come together as a whole. Diversity is an issue that Americans have dealt with in the past, are currently dealing with, and will deal with in the

"All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in the universal Declaration of Human Rights, without distinction of any kind, such as race, c reed, color, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person." In the Pushing for Equality, 1890-1954 by Karen O’Connor and Larry J. Sabato, the authors explains that the attempt to achieve equality for all citizens of the United States had many stages of the Progression or many players or stages of progression.

“Passing' occurs when a person classified as a member of one ethnic group is also accepted as a member of a different ethnic group." At the "Passing" Race Panel Discussion, Morrissa, Glory, Robert, and Aaron all got to share their experiences with “passing”.

Discussions about gender and race equality are a big part of our daily lives; however, the fact that this is even a discussion might be a problem in itself. Woman or man, black, white or yellow, were words conjured up by scientists to classify species just as german shepherd and poodle were. They were not meant to be used as a way to label people in society, with regards to who they are or what they do. 

Labels and categories were meant for food, utensils, and lab settings, not for people in society. So why is it that from a young age we are taught that there is a separate bathroom for men and women, that most guys are attracted to girls and girls to guys, that blue is for boys and pink is for girls, that anyone that has a different shaped
