The Gift To America's Equality System

In America, the land of the free, people believe that it’s the greatest place to be. And America would probably be what everyone believes, but it has a very serious problem that could eventually destroy the country as whole. America is built upon Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, but it has a strong equality issue that has to be taken care of. Equality is a social contract in America and unfortunately it is a broken one. A social contract is an agreement amongst the members of a society, but equality is a serious issue. Equality poses the biggest problem to America simply because in any country the people make the country, and if the people can’t get along either internal conflicts occur, or people eventually leave. Throughout America everyone regardless of race, color, or sexual orientation has experienced inequality in some part of America. Words are exchanged, fists are thrown, and in serious cases lives are lost because people are racists to one another. Equality is a broken social contract in America that will eventually be its demise if not attended to.

John Quincy Adams once said, “You will never know how much it has cost my generation to persevered our freedom.” America has given us many gifts throughout the years. One of the greatest gifts to me is freedom, freedom to say whatever we want. Also, we know that we will be safe no matter what we do because our veterans are standing up for us.

America has given us a gift beyond words, the gift to pursue our happiness. We have everything we could ever need, and even more. We have the liberty to be ourselves, to do what we want with our lives, and if that isn't enough then I don't know what

America’s gift to my generation is the gift of freedom and equality. America’s gift of freedom falls under the gift of the freedom to use the internet and the free internet, the gift of racial and sexual equality, and the gift of the maintenance of freedom.

What would America do without all the blessings that have been given to us throughout the years, like freedom of religion, press, speech, assembly, and petition? But most importantly, in my opinion, is our freedom of speech, and how privileged we are to be able to speak our minds without worrying about repercussions that would take place in other countries. Our freedoms are truly the greatest gift our glorious country, called America, could have given my generation.

When I think about the greatest gift that has be given to our country, one thing that comes to mind is freedom. Due to the sacrifice that Veterans and current services men and women have made we have the freedoms we have today. The Freedom to go to the grocery store, clothing stores, dinner, and more, most American take for granted each and every day. Additionally, when I think of the work freedom the word free stands out to me.

Freedom of speech is the fifth gift and one of the most important ones The freedom of speech is where you can say what you want wherever you want and we should have that right. If you a Christian you have the freedom of speech to preach on the streets of New York like I did with my church. People had freedom of speech and yelled at us and swore at us and we just kept spreading the word.

The first step to transforming America into a land of equality must be to first acknowledge the obvious disproportion and injustice of its system. In the words of Martin Luther King Jr. “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about the things that matter” and as not to further perpetuate the racism of America, I must speak to educate men and women about my struggle and the struggles of my community. In order to adequately explain the value of black lives and the imbalance of the system, I must explain all of the ways in which Black lives have not mattered in America.

For Generations, we have sung the star spangled Banner. It's our national anthem of America within reasoning because we are the home of the brave and the land of the free. America is pretty brave in my opinion; the United States of America is punishing people of poverty and of color in our criminal justice system and ignoring age and background and enslaving our pour. We are brave because we are having slavery occur and disguising it as punishment. Are present Industries are profiting off prisoners. So, why are we guaranteed equal rights? Yes, you may be appointed a lawyer. Yet is it really fair to say we are going to equal rights if you are appointed a lawyer by the court because of our Bill of Rights states if you cannot afford an attorney

America, this is a country that is built on a foundation of equity. This is a nation that rejected the archaic and random notion that some are inherently meant to rule over others in imaginary roles as kings and queens. The US has taken the best of men like Cicero, Rousseau and Aristotle and created core documents such as the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and created checks and balances that allow the nation to run in a fair manner. This all is at least true in theory. If the people of the modern US would bother to read the actual works of men like Cicero, Rousseau and Aristotle, they would know that there is a balance in ensuring that the ideal and the realistic are able to be actualized. Freedom and equality are not guaranteed just because the pieces of paper in the nation say so. They can slowly be chipped away at until the people either fail to see it, or can do little to stop it.

Freedom, diversity, and companionship. These are just a few of the many things that America has to offer to us. Two of the many gifts that America has given to my generation is to be able to have dreams and the freedom of speech.

What is equality? To many people equality is the equal treatment of race, gender, sexuality, and religion. Let’s call this group of people Group 1. Group 1 are basically activists in the world, living so that one day everyone will be equal no matter of their race, gender, or sexuality. To others equality is nothing, the only ones that receive special treatment are the ones with the highest power or the ones with the most money. Let’s call this group of people, Group 2. Group 2 is denying service and many other things to people that don’t deserve to be treated that way. The people of Group 2 are doing this because people aren’t white, a man, or straight. People of Group 2 do this because other people aren’t white

To get from diversity to equality, cultures must first find a common ground. For example, American identity seemed impossible at its beginning. Then each different culture found they are all different from one another, but equally different. Then those differences must remain unjudged, and therefore equal. The gaps in common culture are a binding factor in American Identity. So in this way, differences are what drive America to its very foundation, equality. The idea that equality stems from a single identity and the idea that cultural differences prevent equality are both to limited to see what true equality is. Common ground cannot exist if differences are not there to challenge and stimulate it.

Freedoms that not many countries have. We get to speak our mind ,and be whoever we want to

A nation that is know as a “melting pot” and that is suppose to be a nation of equal opportunity has a major problem. The United States of America is supposed to be the gold standard of the world. We have always been told than anyone from anywhere in the world can come to the United States and reach the goals and become successful. However, the America we live in today is very different one than we are lead to believe. The United State of America has a major racism problem. Minorities in the United States are treated unjustly. Whether its having less opportunity or being treated unfairly in are criminal justice system. We have made many strides to equality in America but we are far from where we need to be.
