Persuasive Essay On Acceptance And Equality

This advertisement found on Google, is a simply zoomed-up hand is different than any normal hand due to its colossal, bulky, green, and appears to be a Marvel Universe’ popular character; the Hulk. The fictional superhero, the Hulk, is known for its aggressiveness and strong outrageous powers. Many kids, especially young boys, are inspired by such a figure for being so mighty. Enabling such a strong and mighty superhero to have a scant band-aid on is figuratively speaking that it is favorable to ask for help, even in minor situations! Some kids may have the problem with pride and do not want to submit to band-aid protection. Revealing this kind of vulnerability and keeping up with the green appearance of the advertisement makes the ad truly effective. Eye may not realize how color scheme is so important and effective to a worthy advertisement and how green signifies strength, safety, and healing powers(The Color Green 1). Therefore this ad is an effective ad for kids and its

In this ad it reads, “ One child is holding something that’s been banned in America to protect them. Guess which one.” It again gets straight to the point and is very blunt in its statement. There is no guessing what they are referencing or what their point is in this

Affirmative action was created to assist minority groups against discrimination, but affirmative action does more harm than what it can do to help. Affirmative action was created with the intention of leveling the playing field so that everyone can have an equal opportunity to be hired or accepted in to a school, but it does the opposite of what it is meant to do. Affirmative action is reverse discrimination against white males, lesser qualified people are admitted into jobs and colleges, and not all people have an equal opportunity to advance.

Most Americans do not see that racism is an issue. Racism is a huge problem in America. Racism has caused a lot pain and destruction throughout history. It is to blame for most of the hate in our society even today. Racism is a system of racial discrimination and prejudice.

“Sexism is the foundation on which all tyranny is built. Every social form of hierarchy and abuse is modeled on male-over- female domination”(Dworkin).

She glares as she’s told “it’s pretty good for a girl”. He puts back the doll he had chosen for being told boys don’t play with girl toys. They sit in front of the TV being fed misogynistic lines from candidates who have no business being front runners. But when told that sexism is irrelevant they believe it and project it onto others. Why would the word “girl” ever become derogatory, for that is absurd? So when they grow up and see this as wrong, pronouncing themselves feminists, dirty looks and rolled eyes are seen. Picturing caricatures of these females who choose to speak their opinions, how dare they? How dare these women express their opinions they so rightfully own? Although there are always the people who choose to see past

With America struggling in a state of Civil War, the nation's very core was being shaken. Abraham Lincoln, who was president during this period, realized this, and delivered one of his most historically renowned speeches, "The Gettysburg Address". This speech addresses many concerns for the nation as a whole. Through "The Gettysburg Address", Lincoln clearly states his views on what the country once was, how it was during the time he was in, and what his hopes and dreams for the future were.

The amendment I am proposing would be called “Equality for All”. Currently in America we live in a nation where every United States citizen is not covered by equal federal and state protections against discrimination. My amendment would cover people from all walks of life, economic status, LGBT+, race, gender, national origin, people with disabilities, and so on. We need a uniform law across the United States to guarantee equal protection for all people, especially the minority populations.

In the 1960’s, affirmative action was something that was necessary to compensate for the past misconduct towards minorities. In 2015, affirmative action is something that is no longer necessary. In the twenty-first century, today’s America is divided more by class and income as opposed to race. If the main goal of affirmative action were to eradicate discrimination, then it should be dispersed on the basis of disadvantage, not on the premise of race. Ultimately, keeping affirmative action around today is detrimental to those who have higher academics and qualifications, because it is not allowing those who surpass criteria recognition.

In today's society, Racism is something everybody will have encountered in his or her lifetime. It can either be coordinated towards themselves or by their own particular oblivious biases. Overt Racism in America is becoming less boundless as the new age of youthful grown-ups are ending up more tolerant and mindful of social injustices (Blanton and Jaccard 2008: 277). This is upheld by the percent of Americans who believed a "strong automatic preference for whites over blacks" in 2007 to decrease from 48 percent to 27 percent from 2002 (Blanton and Jaccard 2008:291). In spite of the fact that narrow minded states of mind are on the decrease, many individuals trust a "colour blind" way to deal with racism is fundamental and enables them to judge individuals in light of individual merit (Zamudio and Rios 2006: 483). This thought sounds conceivable in principle however fails in that the fundamental assumption to this approach is that racism is a relic of the past (Zamudio and Rios 2006:484). Colour blindness exists as a path for individuals who feel uncomfortable discussing racism to expel the battles and negative encounters of the individuals who do need to manage racism. It's safe to say that black Americans are disproportionally misled by the police and shamefully defamed by the general public.

This commercial falls into the Folk culture and tradition category of marketing its product. This commercial uses graphics and animation as a means of persuasion. It does this by putting the phrase ‘the value of spontaneity’ it made value red, and nearly in the center of the screen to make eyes be drawn to it.

This week, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on two landmark, same-sex-marriage cases, striking down the Defense of Marriage Act and paving the way for same-sex marriage in California with their decision on Proposition 8. According to CNN’s article said “The swift road to marriage equality has produced millions of conversations around the dinner table and water cooler on the freedom of every American to marry the person they love. It is these conversations that have changed minds. But while we've reached the tipping point on marriage, there's still a ways to go for full LGBT equality, like ending bullying in schools and workplace discrimination,”(CNN, 2013) Kevin Nix, a spokesman for the LGBT advocacy group, Human Rights Campaign, said in a statement

Looking at the advertisement as a whole you can interpret that the main graphic in the image is the young boy, he is simply standing there with an innocent look on his face being choked. When you look closer you can see that the hand that is choking him is simply made out of smoke. Which is where the words across the bottom of the image come into play, “Your smoking harms your child” (Smokefree).

As America has grown into the nation it is today, the fight for equality is still seen in the streets and news we see on television. Although, the country has seen improvement since the continuing struggle of it back when it was about black equality and giving women the right to vote. While our country is bickering about equality, we as individuals should consider remembering how far we have come. In the past, we have had huge separation between our neighbors but have come together in choosing equality for all races. Now, I feel as if most of the people fighting are doing it just to fight and not make improvements. Should people start thinking about whether or not how they are approaching equality issues today is beneficial and constructive? Is it time for everyone to make choices for themselves without the strong opinions of others influencing them only because that influencer wants them on their side? Maybe America should look at the constructive ways we have had success for equality within race today to use those same ideas to make a better tomorrow for America. At the end of the book, the Coming of Age in Mississippi, Anne was full of wonder while she was on the bus where people were singing, “We shall overcome, We shall overcome. We shall overcome some day,”(384). Will America overcome the equality issues today? Is America thinking about overcoming or arguing. Let’s go back in history to learn about what lead to the most significant single event in Anne’s early life that shaped her to become an activist in the movement that could possibly help America today in it’s own equality us Americans face today.

As children we are taught to always show respect to those around us. We are taught to never say no to an adult, to listen and to use manners to everyone around us. But as we grow older we develop a sense of rebelliousness, and an urge to question every single moral and value we have learned.
