The Issue Of Equality Within The United States

The United States was founded on freedom so we are technically supposed to have all terms of political equality. We do have political, social, and economic equality to an extent. Social equality for example, differs in states and with certain people. Things like race riots and killings of colors still happen today like recently in Ferguson. Our social equality has improved from the eighteen hundreds, but for for 2015 we could improve immensely. I do wish we had perfect social equality though, because I believe everyone should actually be treated equal no matter the race, age, or sexual orientation.

How can we say that the United States is a free country when we can not openly express our religious beliefs in public? Prayer within public schools has begun a significant debate amongst people in society today. This has been a controversial topic in the United States for approximately over 50 years. Many argue whether or not it is socially appropriate to have education and religion in the same place. People have made various reasons about why or why not prayer should be prohibited in public schools. There have been countless court cases and discussions all over the nation regarding this topic. According to Karen Ridder, “A prayer in New York caused the first U.S. Supreme Court Ruling on prayer in public schools: Even though it was the middle of the Cold War, a non-denominational, optional prayer known as The Regent’s Prayer got caught up in the 1962 case of Engle v. Vitale” (Ridder). This comes to show how the prohibition of school prayer has been an issue for a significant amount of time. While this is a very disputatious topic, prayer should be allowed in public schools because students should be able to freely express their beliefs.

In the united states in american society.Men and women are treated unequal at times i think still thre is a little bit of unfairness. in the way they are being treated.such as them having a jail sentence. The men getting less time and the women getting more time depending on if the judge likes her or not.The system of unequality is in effect.because there are still unfairness in the way every man and woman are being treated.there are some equalitys in the world.men and woman are supposed to be treated equal.That is what people are fighting over people are still fighting for their

Over the years, equality has enhanced due to the improvement of presidential classifications. Up until the election of 2017, equality and civil rights have improved. Majority of the people have gained their civil rights, while equality has become more superior. There has been some complications with new rights. Society also lacks a supply of inspiring authority figures lately, more than in the past.

My grandmother has spent many years in the Middle East, working on the sick because she was a doctor. While she was there she had to escorted by her husband to go to work. Also, people were harsh towards for the way she dressed. In the Middle East such as Iraq and Afghanistan, the government has the ability to decide what the citizens get to know what's going in the world. Also, women do not have the same rights and they are not educated. In America, we get the privilege and the right to know what's going on in the world and women have equal rights as men. I am very glad I have the privilege to be equal as every else unlike many people in different countries around the world.

As a caucasian teenage citizen of the United States of America, I am part of a privileged race. I am able to observe discrimination and segregation to other races and members of my country, as most of it is not being done to me individually. However, knowing that LGBTQ people and people of color are being dehumanized, even though the year is now 2015 and same-sex marriage is legal in all fifty states, infuriates me on a very high level. Equal rights in the United States is important to me because I strongly believe that everyone should be treated equally and with respect, no matter your sexual-orientation or race.

My local political party, recently our President claimed that inequality is the “defining challenge of our time,” but today I stand before you to challenge that notion in its entirety. I do not wish to demean such enthusiastic thinking, but I would like to indicate that this notion acts under the assumption that there is equality. How can we fix inequality if in its premise it is immeasurable? Instead, we should focus our efforts on the more pressing challenges in our own community such as hunger or the illegal drug epidemic.

To this day, I still believe that equal rights is one of the biggest problems in the United States. People are constantly looking down on other for their gender, sex, race, sexual preference etc. This has been a problem since the beginning of time and I think that it needs to be stopped.

Over the course of time, the United States of America has been to many the land of equal opportunity and prosperity for all. For many years, a plethora of families made their way to the United States, legally and illegally, for better opportunities in the areas of financial gain, social gain, or educational opportunities. I believe that every parent has one common in goal for all their children and that is to be successful in live, and to have a more productive life than they did.

What does it feel like to not have the right to vote, work, or even marry? Thousands of Americans through the centuries have experienced this, solely due to the way that they were born. America has fought for equal rights for hundreds of years. America has battled for the equal rights of slaves, segregation, women’s right to vote, and the right for men and women to marry the same gender.

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 is one of the most diverse countries in the world in that it has a manifold of nationalities, races, languages, religions, and cultures. While there are plenty of differences between all of the American citizens, there are some aspects that unite us all such as liberty, equality, and opportunity. Thus, an American uses his liberties that are given, is accepting and fair towards others, and utilizes the various opportunities offered. An American must commit himself to these ideals since these are the very ideals that America was founded on.

America broke away from Britain on July 4th, 1776 to gain freedom and not to be judged by religion, but here in 2017 we still haven’t gained equality. People since the 1800’s haven’t understood new ideas that are outside of the box and out of their comfort zone, this still is going on today with people refusing to look from a different perspective. For example, muslims have been getting judged by everybody and everyone is scared of them. This shows that America still has a long way to go to achieve equality.

In chapter 28, America experienced a lot of events at home and abroad. The Warren Court decided to reestablish about race relations and legal base to Civil Rights Act. However, on the one hand, some critics criticized that the Courts’ movement easily ignored about immortality, and it stimulated. In the 1960s, finally Mexican Americans, who suffered from lowest income and education, also established their organization to defend their political and social rights. As a result of Mexicans Americans’ movement, Cesar Chaves organized the National Farm Workers Association to find better conditions for Mexican American workers. However, nowadays, most Mexican Americans cannot get the social and economic equality in the America. During the 1960s, America

A struggle for equality has taken place for over 150 years. Women’s rights have been violated and changed. Many large factions have band together in this fight. Through ups and downs we are breaking all the boundaries that were placed before us.
