Viking Pros And Cons

You would think that today’s society would not discriminate against someone based on their race, color, or national origin. With the changes in lifestyle, people continue to discriminate against those, but also someone’s sexual orientation. Even with laws and regulations, it continues in all parts of the country. The Civil Rights Act of 1964, more specifically Title VI, stated that you could not discriminate against anyone in programs and activities receiving federal

Another way the government protects our rights is by the justice system. The justice system includes creating and passing laws that protect the rights of people. There has been a lot of conflicting feelings about equal right among everything, but what hold the most controversy is the LGBT becoming equal with the rest of the world and recently laws have been passed to try and equalize the LGBT community with the rest of the citizens, in 2015 the Supreme Court's announced “States cannot keep same-sex couples from marrying and must recognize their unions, the Supreme Court says in a ruling that for months has been the focus of speculation. “(Chappell). This means all 50 states must allow same-sex marriage no matter how the states feel about the issue, in order for the law to pass it had to go through the Justice System. This proves that the Justice System helps to protect the right of citizens because everyone has the right to marry even if it is the same-sex, by it becoming law it further protects this right that citizens are entitled to. This isn’t the only case of the the Justice system has helped to safeguard people's rights. In California a law

The LGBT community in the United States has always had massive difficulty fitting into our society. For many years they put up with constant mistreatment and other forms of abuse coming from the those who do not agree with their lifestyle. They have for long advocated for the acceptance of their existence and punishment for crimes committed against them. One of the hardest battles the community has had to face was the right to marry in a society that still holds the values of a traditional relationship which is between a male and female. The struggle was quite harsh but it all paid off by 2015 when the supreme court granted gay couples the right to marry. This historical decision did not go without outcry and criticisms. Most of the dissatisfaction came from those who hold very religious values and beliefs that claims homosexuality is a sin. Religion has always been a part of the American way of life since the nation's founding and with that homosexuality has been demonized throughout our society. Now that gay couple possess the legal rights to have a marriage license, religious companies and/or stores are now denying service to LGBT couples as they believe it sinful on their behalf to even take part. Many people gay or straight who fought for gay rights believe these is pure discrimination and that stores should not have the right to deny service for any customer for any reason. However, this belief is unconstitutional and goes

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits job discrimination based on race, color, gender, religion and nation of origin. With the recent acceptance of marriage equality, it may leave the population doubting if they can be open and honest about their life. While, Title VII now encompasses the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) population, individuals may continue to fear their protection within the employment process. This is due to the ongoing debate within each state to implement anti-discrimination laws protecting LGBT workers. This may encourage people to purse a career based on fear of discrimination rather than compatibility.

Whether we like it or not, discrimination is a problem that has been occurring for thousands of years and is one that will continue to occur for years to come. American history has seen its share of discrimination, perhaps none more evident than the mid-19th century. Political tensions between northern and southern states concerning states’ rights and slavery sent the country into turmoil. The bloodiest battle in American history soon began and the country would never be the same again. However, after the conclusion of the war at Appomattox Court House, the definition of American citizenship and personal liberties would be changed forever. Unfortunately, discrimination has continued to take place within the nation’s borders against other groups of people. Recently, discrimination against homosexual individuals has been quite an intense topic of debate. Although I do understand the logic behind people’s beliefs, it is astonishing to me that there are people in this world that aggressively disallow others to be who they are and live the life that they so choose to live. Persecution of others for religious or political beliefs, although understandable, is a devastating problem to the entire world. In my eyes, how can America be the land of the free and the home of the brave when citizens are unable to be free in their choices and are forced to be brave to act against these unethical doings? We have seen reforms take place to minimize discrimination throughout

In my opinion I believe the federal government should amend the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to include LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, or trans gendered) individuals as a protected class. In 2015, the US supreme court declared that same sex marriage was legal in all 50 states. Today 2017, states such as Nevada, North Dakota and Virginia are still fighting legislation to accommodate the supreme court ruling. In the legal realm, nothing is more frustrating than things being left to interpretation with no precedent set. The declaration made to legalize same sex marriage should have not left the decision up to the states, this only creates more national struggle. Since same sex marriage has been declared legal by the higher courts,

The issue of legalizing same-sex marriage is one thing, but denying service to someone because of their sexual orientation is a completely different topic. I think that denying a person a marital ceremony could be because of religious beliefs. However, a person’s sexual orientation does not affect any other person, nor does it affect the way they should be served or treated in a public setting. The United States is a free country so people should be able to express themselves however they want to. If an employee is given the ability to deny service to a person because of something this small, people will eventually be able to deny service to people for all kinds of pointless reasons. We should be uniting together as a state and giving fair treatment to all citizens, instead of discriminating and only offering certain services to people who we see worthy of receiving them. I believe that the government should continue working to get this law vetoed to eliminate more problems in the

Even though we have different candidates to vote for, most of them have the same point of view, they’re on the side of transnational companies who don’t care how they leave the land they have explored.

Still another advantage of lane-splitting is reduction of travel time and traffic congestion. As Aupetit and his co-authors point out, lane-splitting can cut the time it takes for a motorcyclist to travel from one place to the next by half (302). Furthermore, according to Alvarez, lane-splitting gives the motorcyclist his own space in which to drive. In essence, instead of there being only two lanes for traffic, there are now three lanes—two lanes for automobile drivers and one for the motorcyclist. The result is a decrease in traffic by spreading the traffic out over three lanes instead of two (3). This would be beneficial for motorcyclists and automobilists alike. If traffic were congested, a motorcyclist could lane-split. Lane-splitting

The LGBT community has made new laws each day to bring equality to all. “Throughout its, America has symbolized equality of opportunity for people of all races, origins, religions and creeds, serving as a beacon of hope for anyone seeking a better life. However, despite its founding principles of equality and acceptance, the United States also has a long history of denying basic rights to certain people” (LGBT Equality). When the US discriminates against a certain thing people retaliate and rise up and try to make new laws to help their cause. The LGBT community has been striving to bring equality in many ways. The LGBT community has made great strides in gaining equality of same-sex marriage, gay adoption, and transgender equality.

One positive view of president Park Chung Hee is a economic catalyst. Many people believed Chung-Hee is a economic catalyst because of Saemaul Undong which is New Village Movement. Saemaul Undong spread to national. Every morning the government turned Saemaul Undong music to wake up Koreans and gave them hope that they can do. The goal of Saemaul Undong was for better life and transformed to industrialism. It just basically trying to make rural to urban villages. Government nominated Samaul Undong leaders to each villages and gave them 335bags of cement to 33267 villages. Leaders were organized villages and started changed. They built bridges, fix the roofs, improving water systems, and made roads. For example, Korea villages were really rural.

Government taking this stance against gay marriage is in many ways detrimental to the American culture as a whole. A straight person saying gay marriage affects them is like saying everyone can’t eat fast food because you’re on a diet; the two are completely independent. When the government begins to try and use legislature as a means to a social barrier you begin to stray into the realm of communism. Trying to force your ideology onto someone and strip them of their individuality is a social travesty. As recognized by the information Toubias writings, “…the complexities of gay relationships are not well understood because of the distinct lack of adequate research regarding the experience of individuals in gay relationships..”(Toubia) How can we expect for the public to evolve their thinking when they have no new knowledge on a subject they already have a pre-conceived notion about? Truth is, we can’t. Diversity in many ways is the American way of life and forcing people into a one track mind strips the country of what makes this country unique. There are 37 states that have already legalized same-sex marriage which is a little over half; meaning nearly half the country is either indifferent or in support of the LGBT movement. Such a segmented opinion on a social issue like this can cause divides in

According to the Gallup survey “…approximately .3 percent (.3%) of U.S. adults are married to a same-sex spouse, a mere .5 percent (.5%) identify as being in a same-sex domestic partnership and, of the estimated .8 percent (.8%) of the total U.S. adult population that are a part of a same-sex couple, 780,000 are married.” (Morris, “Gallup: Less Than 1% of Adult Population Part of a Same-Sex Couple”). Why turn the country inside out and overturn thousands of years of human history for 1%? Simple, people have rights that are granted by the government. Any person who is an upstanding citizen who pay

Since the beginning of history, people have always chosen some of their fellow men to discriminate and belittle. Although almost always the people of this nation come into the realization of their wrongs, it feels as though there will never be a time when everyone is truly as equal as the Constitution states. The same-sex marriage controversy has been very heated in America lately, but the undeniable truth is that the government has no right to prohibit it. Unfortunately, the truth is not always easily seen by everyone.

For centuries the United States has been known for its civil rights and freedoms. Many Americans are angered by the idea of same-sex relationships and
