Movie Analysis: Hidden Figures

As humans naturally, we believe that it is rather better to be free than not to be free, and in some cases we don't consider equality to be of great worth. One good example that proofs that theory true is, the African slaves in the western world, who fought and campaigned to be freed from slavery and to see slavery business abolished all together. They were struggling to be free, without having in mind that equality is indeed necessary in their struggle. As we know they were later freed from being slaves and regarded as freemen and women, but the main obstacle that hindered their progress in integrating into their

Equality is something Americans strive to provide and maintain. It has become an integral and necessary part of our mosaic culture. Even now to the point that when people think of America, they naturally think of freedom and equality. People of many different races, disabilities and creeds have come to the United States seeking the impartiality upon which this country was founded. The institutions of this country have relied upon it, just as it was the created by the events in the laying of moral foundations. The expression of America's citizens plays an extremely significant role in the history of equality in American society. In the pursuit of equality and the "American Dream," people have authored inspiring

The United States of America was founded upon five founding ideals: liberty, opportunity, rights, democracy, and equality. All five of these ideals have shaped what kind of country the United States has become and what it stands for. By definition, equality is “the state of being of being equal, especially in status, rights, and opportunities.” The United States has always been changing the availability of equality, depending on the time period. Compared to the founding period, every American has the same rights and same opportunities. This was not always so, however, and some groups of Americans had less rights and opportunities than others. One group in particular that had different levels of equality throughout history was African Americans. While African Americans do have equality nowadays, this was not always the case. It had taken centuries before African Americans could have the same rights and opportunities as other groups of Americans. Fortunately, this has led to equality amongst all Americans.

Freedom is granted to every humans just simply because they are human beings. Equality did not discover

“What is equality?” one might ask. We all have different views on specific topics and can describe what something truly means to one’s self like in the 3 text, “I have a dream,” by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr (published; 8/28/1963, genre; narrative and argumentative), “If we must die,” by Claude Mckay (published; 1919, genre; narrative and lyric), & “Harrison Bergeron,” by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. (published; October 1961, genre; satirical & dystopian science-fiction short story). In all 3 texts the authors are giving their touch on equality. Equality can convey being treated the same when a colored and a white man/woman are next to each other as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr says. You can also see equality as Mckay who thinks it’s being on the same level of strength and worth as a white man being in the shoes of a colored man. Or equality can be being exactly the same in every way as anyone around you in every exact way in Vonnegut’s eyes. All these 3 authors have a particular view on how to answer “What is equality?” and we can compare their ideas.

Equality is the key to a successful and enjoyable life. If you treat everyone as equals, without prejudice, and you’re not racist, you will like yourself better as a person, and people will respect you. In “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks”, Henrietta’s whole family was treated unfairly because the cells were taken without permission. Her family felt discriminated against, and they disliked the science community as a whole. Then Rebecca came and treated them equally and with respect, and they respected her very much. This shows that even though someone feels negative against a person or a part of society because something has happened to them, if they see that some people treat them equally and respect them, they won’t always feel like that. Another example of equality would be in the book “The Fault in Our Stars”. Hazel has cancer, and she gets so many more things than a normal person would get. This is a different kind of example

The United States Declaration of Independence clearly stated, that, “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.” As time went on, this statement had proven to be immensely inaccurate. All throughout American history, African Americans faced extreme levels of hatred, injustice, and discrimination because they didn’t acquire the pasty pale skin of the whites. As the 40’s turned into the 50’s, African Americas all across the United States became exhausted of the hatred and discrimination. Their exhaustion turned to great power as Africa Americans took action and began what is known as the Civil Rights Movement. This movement brought great acts of change and prosperity that forever impacted the United States.

After writing my newspaper article on the NAACP, I realized that the African American community needed a renewed sense of belonging, like all the other communities have in this day in age. This sense of being is better known as equality. Webster’s dictionary defines equality as having the same rights, social status and opportunities as others. The African American community has yet to reach a plateau were they are seen as equals. Equalities for African Americans are still a foreign subject, but hopefully will progress in the future.

It’s something that should be going on throughout the world. In “What to a Slave is the 4th of July”by Frederick Douglas, it states “The sunlight that brought light and healing to you has brought stripes and death to me”. Meaning that whatever made them white made them think that they’re higher quality than anyone else of a different skin color. In “Declaration of Sentiments” by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, it states “Having deprived her of this first of a citizen, the elective franchise, thereby leaving her without representation in the halls of legislation, he has oppressed her on all sides”. Which is saying that as a woman you weren’t able to vote or run for candidacy. In “Refugee in America” Hughes writes “there are words like liberty that almost make me cry. If you had known what I knew you would know why”. Saying that this person had gone through a lot of hardships that make them realize that our country isn’t really what they say it is. The struggle for equality is something that still goes on today. Just think about Trump and his all mighty wall, the LGBTQ community, and the black lives matter event that happened last

Women throughout history have suffered under many gender and racial injustices. The white supremacist patriarchal structures in America, which were considered “the norm” for their time, were challenged and brought down largely due to the efforts of strong black women. These women shifted the idea of women being worthless objects to be taken and used whenever white men see fit into that of feeling, human souls who are the utmost deserving of the same treatment as the white male supremacists in America. Women such as Ida B. Wells, Rosa Parks, Recy Taylor, Betty Jean Owens, and Kimberlee Crenshaw made strives towards a better future for not just women of color but women and men of all backgrounds. Their movement

All Throughout American history there has been a struggle by Blacks to gain equal access and equal rights. African Americans have struggled for legal, political, and social equality since early colonial times. In post Civil War America, Blacks were granted freedom, but were still denied equal rights through legalized segregation and Jim Crow laws. However, in the mid nineteenth century there was a turn in attitude of Black people, as they were tired of discrimination and started protesting for their rights. It was during this time of the Civil Rights Movement that Freedom of peoples expanded. Through protest they gained

Some people think that there could be equality, and with that thinking came the Civil Rights Movement. One of the most widely known speakers at the time was Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. In his famous speech “I Have A Dream” he wrote: “And if America is to be a great nation this must become true. So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring from…” (I Have A Dream, by Martin Luther King Jr.) In this he is saying in all these great places, that freedom is coming their way. But some of these people were discriminated against it is over and freedom is here at last. Even this has evidence. People cannot have

How important are women to you? Maybe they are important because humankind needs them in order to procreate or maybe it is because they are naturally more nurturing than men. No matter the reasoning, most people would say women are extremely important, so why does the media continue to degrade them so much? We have been shown inaccurate depictions of women ever since the media was created so it will take some time to reverse the damage it has caused to the female gender role.

One of the main adversaries for equal rights was a man by the name of Martin Luther King Jr. who became a martyr of civil rights. I believe that his vision still has not been met, his dream still is not fulfilled “I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” (Martin Luther King Jr., August 28, 1963).

After centuries, our society has been repetitively facing the exact same problem: freedom/ Two people helped develop solutions to segregations and injustice to make people’s lives better. In 1863 Abraham Lincoln gave his speech,”The Gettysburg Address” about fighting the war to unite the nation and abolish slavery. In 1963, Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his,” I Have a Dream” speech and gave all his effort to put an end to segregation and provide equal rights to blacks so that one day they won’t be judged by their race, but their own special personality.
