What Are Examples Of Injustice

“Nigger”, “Colored-folks”, “Dinge”, racial slurs used in the South in the 1900s-1960s. The disgusting souls who discriminated, judged, hated, and segregated blacks. “White men rule”. Women, their voices, barely able to say as much as a sentence. The blacks, their voices, unable to say as much as even a word, and the children, innocent and curious, saw nothing and said nothing. Harper Lee represented the horrendous acts and judgments of racism in To Kill a Mockingbird. Maycomb, Alabama, 1930s, a small town with a big story. Tom Robinson, discriminated and unequal, was seen as “just another nigger” in Maycomb. “Nigger”, “Chocolate”, “Colored”, racial slurs that began long ago, and are still used to this day. The White

In the book ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ by Harper Lee, racism and social inequality are two central themes. Many different forms of social inequality coexist in the society depicted in the book, as the people of Maycomb are very rigid in their ways. This is because the book takes place in a time at which there was much racism and social inequality. In Maycomb, firstly there is discrimination between rich and poor white people, who do not often interact with each other. There is also racism against blacks by all white people in society, both rich and poor. Black people are denied basic rights and discriminated against in this town. Lastly, there is racism between the lowest classes of the community: poor white people and

Someone once said “No matter your social status or how powerful you think you are, we are all equal.” The quote has much to do with the racism and segregation that people went through while living in America, especially in the South. It still is a relevant quote today, seeing as how racism and segregation has not ended, but increased over the decades. In Harper Lee’s classic, To Kill A Mockingbird, the small town of Maycomb, Alabama consists of plenty of racism and segregation. When Atticus is obligated to defend the man accused of rape, the whole town is hoping for him to prove his client is guilty. They’re quick to make a judgement about him, solely because he’s a black man. In this novel, several craft moves/techniques are used which then

People have experienced injustice in different fields through history all around the world. At school time, is a period that children are getting older, and starting to shape social ethics and values, and try to get recognition among their classmates and friends. I think when some situations happened unfairly during childhood, people would learn useful lessons. During the school time, it also taught me one lesson as well. I am not hundred percent sure that I understood what injustice is, but I think I know how deal with it now.

In Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird a major theme within the novel is the older one gets, the more desensitized one becomes to society's rules. Within the novel, a court case is being held; but the trial is extremely biased because the defendant, Tom Robinson, is a colored man. During the event, Dill, a friend of Jem and Scout, begins to cry because of how unfairly Tom Robinson is treated due to his skin color; “‘That old Mr. Gilmer doin him thataway, talking so hateful to him-’” (Lee 265). Dill doesn't know society's rules, particularly that colored people are treated poorly because of his lack of experience due to his young age. He will not able to truly grasp the concept until later on, and thus, he cries for Tom Robinson. Society's rules

The theme of social injustice due to racism is demonstrated by Mr. Gilmer’s actions. Tom is being cross-examined by Mr. Gilmer and Dill becomes upset and exits the courtroom with Scout by his side. “‘Well Mr. Finch didn’t act that way to Mayella or old man Ewell when he cross-examined them. The way that man called him ‘boy’ all the time and sneered at him, an’ looked around at the jury every time he answered-’”(Lee 226). Mr. Gilmer talks down to Tom because he is black, and is considered lower in social class. Mr. Gilmer is treating Tom as if he were in a lower social class; this is what he wants to portray to the jury. The class system in Maycomb is wrong and Dill sees how Tom is being treated unjustly. Tom is seen as trash just because he is black; he has a lot more character than Mr. Ewell, but because he is black, Mr. Gilmer is painting Tom to be lower than the lowest of whites. Because of Tom’s skin color, he is treated like he is less of a man. People in Maycomb cannot see how wrong they are because the citizens are stuck in a mindset where white people act like they are superior. The citizens see no problem with Mr. Gilmer belittling Tom in the way he is speaking to

"That old Mr. Gilmer doin' him thataway, talking so hateful to him—… It was the way he said it made me sick, plain sick. … The way that man called him 'boy' all the time an' sneered at him, an' looked around at the jury every time he answered… It ain't right, somehow it ain't right to do 'em that way. Hasn't anybody got any business talkin' like that—it just makes me sick." (155-165). This quote once again not only shows that due to Dill’s innocence he sees paat other people’s opinions and the stereotypes of society. Overall showing the basic ignorance Dill has towards society and the way they treat people different from themselves.

The novel TKAM theme is injustice. Injustice is shown in the book by Tom Robinson getting wrongfully convicted. Injustice is also shown when African Americans are alwways getting judged by their skin color. Also when atticus defend’s black people, he gets judged. The overall theme of TKAM is Injustice because throughout the text it shows how there is injustice because Tom was accused of something that he didn’t do and they know that he didn’t do it.

People are exploited; it’s the way of the world. An unfortunate way, but that’s what we’ve got. The easiest and quickest way to get things is to use other people to do it. This leads to a lot of something called “racism,” the act of discriminating because of the fact that someone’s better. Back when racism against black people was an accepted wrong, it was common to exploit them. In 1960 Ms. Harper Lee wrote a book, To Kill A Mockingbird. It is told from the perspective of a girl named Scout, brother Jem and father Atticus living in Maycomb, Alabama in 1933-35. The first World War had just ended and the Great Depression was making its way across the world. Yet that is not the main issue of the book, though it is crucial in the development of the main characters. The main plot, drive, and suspense in the book come from the concept of racism. At first the book progresses through the time period and shows what life was in the 1930s. Then it focuses on a trial of an accused black man and the following events after the trial. In To Kill A Mockingbird the most expressed theme is racism; the root of racism is inequity. To explain inequity is to explore is the exploitation of people, the basis of those judgements and the solution to the problem.

A “just” law, according to me, is the one that is ethical, fair, unbiased, and one that honors every individual who resides within the law; it’s a law that is in place for honoring every individual without any discrimination. A “unjust” law is one that unfair, inhumane, unethical, and one that is in place for the benefit of one group; a law that does not honor every individual who resides within the law. Laws have been around for a long time, whether social or legal, and they will continue to be around for a long time as well. However, just because laws have been around for a long period of time it does not mean that are “just”. Some laws are considered to be “just” for some while some laws are considered as “unjust” for some. For example,

In Harper Lee’s legendary book, To Kill a Mockingbird, there is an immense theme of injustice shown. Three major examples of injustice are ones preformed against Boo Radley, Atticus Finch, and Tom Robinson. For example, Boo Radley was mistreated because he was not as social as others, so he didn’t talk as much. Other prejudice acts were demonstrated upon Atticus because of his decisions contradicting to what others would have chosen. In addition, intense acts of racism against blacks were performed against Tom Robinson during his case. Some citizens just didn’t know how to treat people fairly and as though they all belonged.

Throughout the course of history, blacks have always been second to the whites. Even after the Civil War, segregation and racists groups were at large. During this time, white men were disrespectful towards black men. Groups like the K.K.K. wanted nothing less than white supremacy, and they would stop at nothing to obtain this goal. Many blacks were lynched, or even killed only because of the color of their skin. The following are examples of this; the Scottsboro case, lynching by the Klan, and many forms of segregation from the 1920’s till 1930’s. Also in Harper Lee’s book, To Kill a Mockingbird, Tom Robinson never has a chance to plead innocent because of his black skin.

“Cracker.”, “Niger.”, “Wetback.” Everyone at one point of their lives have been faced with raw derogatory slang terms that are often used to categorize individuals into groups. It is sad to think that many years have passed, and these hateful terms are still prevalent to this day. In America, it is not so harsh towards white individuals than it is towards people of color, immigrants, and surrounding minorities. Discrimination against minorities is still present in the lives of those individuals who sustain themselves in America and will not be leaving anytime soon. We must come together and see each other as human beings to unite and create a change that will reduce unfair prejudices, biases, and stereotypes directed towards innocent individuals.

In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee outlines the horrors of the racism so prevalent in the Southern United States in the 1930’s, using two mostly unprejudiced children as her telescope into sleepy Maycomb, in Alabama. Jem and Dill, two children, and the townspeople of Maycomb have vastly different opinions and viewpoints on the Tom Robinson trial, viewpoints that are developed by their upbringing, backgrounds and life. The children realize and believe that the way the defendant, Tom Robinson, is treated is wrong. The townspeople of Maycomb stick to their discriminatory, racist ways, believing that despite all evidence, Tom Robinson is black, so he must be guilty, convicting him for a crime he never committed.

I played badminton since I was eight years old. In these ten years, I insist on the love of badminton. When I got into HFI, I became the leader of school badminton club, where I learnt that being a leader should be serious and cautious. Last year, when our club was holding a Guangdong badminton competition in Haizhu district, we got a problem. Because of our carelessness, one of the rules we wrote is ambiguous and there was a conflict between two teams. However, this experience gave me the answer of a question that confused me for a long time: fairness or humanity?
