Persuasive Essay On Equality

Reshma Daniel’s parents moved her family from India to America in 2011. Her parents wanted her and her siblings to live the “American dream.” Reshma decided to go to law school, majored in legal studies, and was well on her way to becoming a lawyer. While job shadowing, Reshma was told she shouldn't follow her dream to become a lawyer. “As a women, and a women of color, you will be underpaid, so there is no point” (Owens). Reshma had worked so hard to achieve her goal of becoming a lawyer, she felt defeated because she knew these policies were unfair, but, there wasn't much she could do about it. Reshma’s parents dreamed that their children would be able to thrive and succeed in America, their daughter had big plans, law school being no easy task. They thought the “American Dream” was supposed to be equality, freedom, and prosperity. But the idea that women and men still aren't equal makes this idea far fetched, and unobtainable. No occupation should pay less for discriminatory reasons. Reshma went to law school, and acquired a degree. She is just as capable of being a lawyer as the men in the same position.

If you come across a hungry man you have two options you either feed me him or teach im how to get his own food. For example, if you give a man a fish he’ll be able to eat for a day and then he’ll run out of food and be hungry again. However, if you’re able to teach him how to fish then he is not only able to feed himself with his new skill but feed his family as well. In this metaphor the “fish’ is representative of money and wealth in America. While the hungry man are people with low to median income in America. As a society it seems that no one wants to talk about wealth inequality and how fix it or at least make it so there is less of it. Now the best way to do start solving wealth inequality is by giving education to those who earn less rather than just giving them money. Education gives them the tools to be able to obtain more income. Although education does not solve wealth inequality it can only have positive effects on those who have low to median incomes.

In our constitution we are all equal, but why are we not paid equally? The gender wage gap movement will result in social change because it is bringing awareness to women in the workplace getting paid lower than her male counterpart. On the other hand, many other people may argue that the gap is not because of gender, it is because men work longer hours compared to women since they have children to take care of. I believe that this movement could improve by making people more aware of the through more examples such as the Women’s U.S.A. Soccer Team wanting more pay and equal pay.

Two of the most hot-button issues faced in the 2016 election included abortion rights and gun control. Since President Trump’s election these issues have remained at the forefront of political discussion. With several months still remaining, 2017 had already claimed the reputation for the deadliest year for mass shootings in America’s history (Wilson, 2017). We began 2017 with six killed in the Ft. Lauderdale airport and progressed, to 58 killed in Las Vegas at the Route 91 Harvest Festival, to the most recent incident that left 26 dead in a Texas church. In addition to these three most notable events, there have been many other shootings that have brought the causality total to 112 with 531 wounded from mass shootings alone (Wilson, 2017). These senseless deaths left the American public emotionally drained and searching for a solution to a problem that the government is hesitant to proactively address, but rather leaves to the individual state’s discretion.

In society in America women are some of the most powerful leaders today, in places such as Afghanistan women have no power. This is controversial considering that women were at some point already provoked when people said that voting is not an option for women, this is not just about human rights, but about human rights for the women born without rights.

In a jury trial, it is the perceived goal to find juries to decide the case before them without prejudice or bias. According to the United States Constitution, everyone deserves a fair and impartial trial. When this does not occur it can be classified as unjust. There comes a point to ask what makes an unjust jury occur and when? Bias, But, what is Bias? Biases are a prejudice in favor or against a thing, person or group compared with another. In simplest terms, bias equals prejudging either in a positive way or in a negative way. Most biases happen at an unconscious level. Unconscious bias is held by everyone simply because we are human. It is the set of automatic preferences deep in our brain that instantaneously influence our decision and how we perceive people and situations without our conscious awareness. Because these unconscious biases are automatic we use them to make judgments and decisions without even realizing that’s what we are doing. But, if and when we stop to think about it could we then decide that our initial hasty judgments don’t actually fit with the information that we

Equal rights are guaranteed to all citizens no matter what race, sex, marital status and/or economic status. Why should that change because of someone's sexual orientation? I believe most of what our amendments say American citizens should do are not half way near what citizens actually do. U.S News, Senator Jeff Merkley stated in 2015 that “According to the Human Rights Campaign, which advocates for greater LGBT rights, 31 states do not have laws that explicitly prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity.” I think that is wrong, we are not living in the 1940s we should not be still arguing about whether we should not give equal rights to women or LGBT. We are fighting about towards the LGBT community has equal rights/opportunities and women having equal rights in 2017, you would think we are still in the 1720s.

Many people cite a violation of free speech as a reason to repeal Bill C-16, the best argument in opposition of that stance aims to say that, though it is not a perfect legislation, the controls it places on free speech are necessary in order to guarantee the freedom from discrimination of non-binary and transgendered, Canadian citizens. All humans have a gender identity, and the contention is that everyone expresses theirs in a unique way. Bill C-16 aims to protect these individuals in areas regarding immigration, criminal law, federal services, and the census. It also acts to stop the spread of hate propaganda and hate speech by making them criminal offenses, which claims to assist in the protection of gender-diverse communities.

We all live in a world full of diversity. Diversity can be seen through beliefs, backgrounds, race, gender, and even culture. Diversity can be seen on both a large and small scales. Even a small class of thirty students demonstrates an immense amount of diversity. Bryson Lane Homman and Jerika Mitchell demonstrate just how apparent that diversity is by their expressions of safety, emotions, beliefs, personal diversity, opinions, responsibilities, and relations to others.

Illegal, unconstitutional, disgusting and sinful are only a few words people use to describe what I consider a personal right. Gay marriage has been a topic of discussion in the United States for the past couple years. Lately the subject has increased along with the arguments from both sides of the spectrum. I am a gay male and look forward to finding the man of my dreams and marrying him some day but this can only happen if the minds of certain individuals change along with the laws prohibiting it. Gay marriage should be legal throughout the country; it does not hurt anyone and can be beneficial for many.

There is constantly cessation why women and men cohabitate, nurture, desire, and endure. Many shrug the similarities and differences to the side due to the complex nature that is involved in understanding the progression. Since the beginning of time, according to the bible, man was placed as the dominant sex, fending for the families well being. The woman has tended to the important jobs around the homestead as situations arose. Often in society, one will find himself in a battle depending on the views of the receiving recipients. Following is a dialogue explaining a safe and metro sexual view as a general whole.

Around the world, nearly 98 million girls are not in school. In Saudi Arabia, women's unemployment rate is 34%, while men’s is 7%. One in three women around the world are likely to be victims of gender based violence in their lifetime. Women with full time jobs still only earn 77% of what males earn. As a young women, I know personally that women are not treated equally as men. We are treated differently, when there is absolutely no reason that men get all of these things, that men are treated right, when women are not. I don’t even know the worst part - many women don’t even go to school, or have jobs. When there is no reason that we should not.While researching my topic, I found a few things I was very curious about. Where are women treated the least equally in the world. What is the average of how much less women get paid than men. What are the most ridiculous and useless things women are not allowed to do? Why do people think that women should be treated this way? How can our society solve the problem of that women are not treated equally to men? After researching about gender equality, I found that it is so clear that women are not treated equally, but there are a few simple ways that we could start solving this huge problem.

“So, you’re telling me that you’re a girl?” Even though it has been a little over 10 years, this question still refuses to leave me alone and echoes in my head every time someone brings up the topic of gender.

In the 21st century, many people believe that we have overcome the obstacle of gender inequality and evolved into a society of fairness and righteousness. As many know, females can be just as proficient and qualified as males at any task. Though some efforts to off-set this gender imbalance is in place, it is still commonly acknowledged that many careers are stated to be a male job such as lawyers, and female jobs such as secretaries. Gender inequality is a visible fact in our society and in this essay, I hypothesize that gender inequality still exists as a result of factors such as post-secondary education differences of the two genders, role of females in families, female objectification, career choice differences of the two genders, and

We are all born the same way: as humans, and therefore deserve the same rights and acceptance as long as we all follow the laws and comply with the norms set to protect all individuals. But throughout history certain groups of people have faced discrimination, segregation, and injustice because they are of a specific race, skin color and/or culture that some of us consider to be part of a lower category of human beings, as well as the fact of holding different beliefs and ideals along with preferences when it comes to things such as gender and choice of lifestyle. My only wonder is how an individual or a society as a whole reaches the point of producing enmity towards others who do not hold the same sexual orientation as they do and how
