Does Society Needs A Makeover?

Society Needs A Makeover

According to the U.S Department of Justice, “160,000 kids per day do not attend school for fear of being bullied” (American Society for the Positive Care of Children). Many people are being treated poorly due to prejudice, biases, and the “ideal” looks. To put an end to people being being treated poorly, two key actions are needed to be taken, such as helping people realize their prejudices and biases and standing up for someone who is experiencing inequality.
It is true that biases and prejudice exist in our world today and many people are too scared to fix them and worry it’s too late. A quote to show this is, “...even when organizers and participants actually care about these issues, it can be hard to have an

However, joining together and doing what is right can fix these issues in the long run. A quote said by Emma Watson was, “But what stood out for me the most was that only 30 percent of her audience were male. How can we affect change in the world when only half of it is invited or feel welcome to participate in the conversation? Men—I would like to take this opportunity to extend your formal invitation” (Watson). This quote shows that these issues are everyone’s problems and that if people are willing to take part to fix it, generations to come will be better off. As long as men, women, and children realize the issue and how it needs to be fixed, everyone can join together to spread the word. Once the word is spread, the needed change can be put into action. Another quote to support this is, “If you were not that prejudiced, I failed you, dear lady. If you were not that prejudiced I failed you; I failed you too, children. I failed myself. I buried my courtesy early on Memorial Day morning. So, here is the promise I made to myself back then: if I am ever faced with an occasion like that again, I am going to offer my help regardless of how the offer is going to be received” (Colón). This

Still, understanding these hidden biases can be very important.With this information, she explains, “we can target those biases and create a more equal society”” (Brookshire). This shows that biases and prejudice are not a very nice thing to have in society but as long as people understand their prejudices a fix can be made to society. Without the understanding of these biases and prejudices people will not be able to change. All that needs to be done is at least one person steps up and tells someone what needs to be fixed. If people help each other understand these two things, a major fix can be made to society. A quote to support this is, “I took my hat, I took my stick, / My load I settled fair, / I approached that awful incubus / With an absent-minded air — / And I walked directly through him, / As if he wasn't there!” (Gilman). s quote from the poem, An Obstacle, means that to overcome the prejudices and biases all people need to do is “walk right through them” and show no emotion towards how the prejudice may be treating society. After allowing all to get through prejudices and biases, society will be a better place. To wrap up, understanding people’s prejudices and biases and allowing help to get through them will lead to a major improvement in society.
Standing up for someone who is experiencing inequality will help change society and put an end to many others being treated
