Global inequalities

In Terrance Hayes’s book of poetry, Wind in a Box, one can see that the poems are written like a personal narrative using rhythmic phrasing to help one understand how their identity is formed. The blue poems in particular, are ones that use the word “blue” to contribute to the poems in different aspects. Using the word “blue”, Hayes shows blue as a color usually defined by sadness, blue as in the musical genre which usually sings about troubled times, and blue as in another word for feeling bad or

got yellin’... By God! Then somepin happened! They come a-runnin’, and they give us some other stuff to eat--give it to us,” (Steinbeck, 422). Thus, if the people unite, as Lakey and Steinbeck urge, the people can overcome the most basic forms of inequality. The pursuit of equality creates a worthwhile goal for communities--if individuals organize, systems and values can change. Therefore, while true equality is intangible and unachievable, it is still wise for individuals to seek equality and for

Inequality is often defined as the condition of being unequal; a lack of equality; a disparity or unequal opportunity, or treatment resulting from this disparity. Almost forty-four years ago a federal law was mandated that enforced gender equality in all schools. At the time Title IX was enacted, only 30,000 women were participating in an NCAA sport, compared to the 170,000 men. The National Collegiate Athletic Association, or NCAA offered no scholarships to women, nor did they offer championship

The pay gap between men and women has become quite a topic today. The difference in pay are very common now in many career paths where men and women are doing the same work amount. It is rare to think that when men and women are performing the same task and are just as qualified as each other that they would get paid the same. As the “wage gap” is being discussed more, the question is why do men and women have different wages when they are working the same job. While it seems that men don 't have

Do you think society would improve if everyone was equal? Even though people may argue with me, I say that everyone isn’t truly equal in the story, Harrison Bergeron. I say this due to how people that are naturally born with above average intelligence, strength, and looks gorgeous has to wear handicaps to hide their unique abilities. Another reason is that some people are either respected or disrespected because of their special talents. Thirdly, some people in the story does not need to follow the

The equality in our world is not working, we always try to make it equal for every and each person, but as we can see it still unequal. The Langston Hughes in his poem “Democracy” trying to say that everyone is equal in this world and everyone should have equal laws. The poem has written when African-Americans were getting to slavery and he was trying to make the world equal for everyone. A lot of us would ask, why did this happen? what was the purpose? it doesn’t have any explanation or any right

American Women Created Equal “[...]A woman is not better, wiser, stronger, more intelligent, more creative, or more responsible than a man. Likewise, she is never less. Equality is a given.”(Vera Nazarian) 100 years ago women were treated with extreme indifference. They were truly belittled. Today women have slowly, but surely, gained empowerment in proving they are not less, nor more than a man.There are countless ways American women’s equality has flourished since 100 years ago, specifically,

“The practice of physical education and sport is a fundamental right for all.” (UNESCO) Gender equality in sports is still lacking even after title IX. People seem to only care about males, when it comes to sports. Women have accomplished just as much, achievements or more in sports, but men still seem to get all of the attention. Women should receive equal treatments in sports, because attention increases womens self esteem, they get no media attention or scholarship, and finally it infringes on

continuously develops as education improves, but the history of equal opportunity in education must continuously improve as well. Although education is known for its good deeds, inequality still plays a significant role in education today. There are opportunities that students must receive to relinquish some inequalities that are still present
