Recommended: Gender inequality social issues

Language, Culture, and Gender have been a huge controversy that separates human kind. People grow up in different communities which reflect their behaviors and background. Some people stand out and are invisible because they do not fit in. In other cases, people are mistreated and being abused because of their social status. There needs to be changes that can bring our nation together and accept each other for who we are. Why we are still divided as a nation is because we cannot accept that we were all born and created equally. Society is cruel.
The separation of social status has been a conflict for many years now. In the past, we dealt with different groups of races being more superior to the other. Nowadays, we have an issue with gender; specifically gays and men being more superior to women. It is peculiar that we exclude different people from our community. It specifically states in our Constitution that man is created equal. If that is the law, why do we still belittle people that do not fit in? Being different is normal and everyone needs to accept that fact.

    Those kinds of people are everywhere in the world and with the same habits. This topic matters because we need to fix this ourselves. This problem needs to be fixed because our disunity will destroy with nation. If this is not fixed, there will be an increase in crimes. People will fight and argue on little things with each other and violence will take place. The Government should unite those people and teach them lessons for unity. In this society we have to live by taking others opinion and advice. There ae also people who came from different regions with different point of views and opinions. They should talk with each other in a neighborhood and make themselves comfortable. That is how they can change their way of thinking. They also have to create the positive environment for those people who are stuck with their mentality. When those people will come to that environment, they will feel better and change themselves. It is a psychological fact that human needs more positive things to remain positive in a life. It is important to agree on one opinion because without this we are not a complete nation and it will separate us from the whole world. If we do not do this, we will be no longer be a strong nation.

  • Domestic Racial Hypercriminalization Essay

    1225 Words  | 3 Pages

    The United States Constitution states the “all men are created equal.” This is false statement and has been a false statement since the US declared independence. If you are not white or do not fit into the social class of being white you are not given the same equal opportunities. The US has a long history of discrimination against the minority groups of the country and the people believing that it’s the Government’s job to fix it. Some things are out of the Government’s control but some things are strictly made and allowed by the Government of the US. Hypersegregation, hypercriminilazation, and the racial attitudes clarify the racial disadvantages that minorities face in the US. These three go hand in hand and to understand the domestic racial

  • American And Mexican Culture Essay

    Cultural differences are something that many disagree on because it is not “normal” to not be American and white. Skin color has nothing to do with where you belong. As we read in our book, many were discriminated simply because they “intruded” in the land. It did not matter if you were of white skin color, rich, with land, or anything, you came to a new land that was not yours so you were not welcomed. I have strong opinions on this topic because I have lived it every single day of my life. I see it happen firsthand and it is something so mind-blowing because you would not expect things like those to happen. The nerve of some people to do the things they do is amazing. Being able to spend time to speak with these individuals was a time that I will forever cherish because you never really know what that person has gone through. You never really know someone’s story until you take the time to sit down and talk with

    Although it is now illegal to discriminate anyone based on one’s race or gender it is still a practice that many take part in, whether it is in the work place or prejudice that take place as part of who someone is. As the momentum started to pick up behind the equal rights movement of the mid-century an even a greater number of people began to be aware of the fact that there really is no difference between people and that all should be treated the same. As time has progressed so have the beliefs of people, things that were once a part of everyday life like children not being able to go to school together are a thing of the past. We now live in a time of acceptance and less judgment we now live in a nation where we are not judged by the color of skin, but the content of our character (Martin Luther King

  • Existence of Racial Difference

    725 Words  | 2 Pages

    American tradition and culture is based around the concept of free speech. One can say what he likes, make any point he chooses, and express any opinion he desires in America. Anyone, from the homeless person, to the workingman, to the President of the United States himself is entitled to have an opinion, and to discuss it without impediment. It's considered a god-given right to speak what's on your mind. One thing that is never spoken of freely, however, is the subject of racial differences, what genetically separates us in terms of physical and mental abilities and instinct. It is almost a social "taboo" to go near anything that could possibly be construed as saying that somehow, we're not all the same, and somehow, race makes us different. Oh, no - talk about something like that and somebody might call you a "racist". And nobody likes to be called a "racist".

  • Transgender Rights in America

    890 Words  | 2 Pages

    Humans have established their own rights in society for many, many years now. However, because some humans differ from the norms that are built in society, they are shunned and denied their rights until they conform to society’s norms. There has been numerous groups of people who have been denied their rights in America. African Americans, immigrants, Native Americans, and gays have been isolated simply because that is the way that they were born into this world and others do not find them “normal”. There is another group that has also been mistreated though; people who identify themselves as transgendered. A good portion of society is unknowingly misinformed about these kinds of people.

  • Civil Rights

    Without question the Civil Rights Movement is still in action. There has been in addition to this fight. People who love each other are being hated for loving someone of their same gender. Racism is still as strong as ever. The oppositions for this is pathetic. Mexicans, Blacks, Middle Easterners, Asians, Lesbian, Gay and Transgender individuals etc, have all been humiliated so they can feel like they do not belong. Stereotypes have taken over this technological era. Any chance someone gets to post a racist, cruel, and or rude comment they do it, for attention. We should not seek attention this way. Instead we should promote love and unity. This is what the Civil Rights Movement is all about. It might feel like a loss of pride for the ones who are opposing, but I cannot stress enough that this it is for the better. Everyone deserves a chance to live their life without the fear of knowing that at any moment society has the power to hurt you, to destroy every part of your being without mercy. It is hard to lead a life full of guilt and self hate because of who you are and who others have defined you to be. There is so much things that one feels when they are categorized by society. There is so much self doubt, insecurity, guilt, and the pain of feeling dirty and small because of how society sees you and labels you. Why is it necessary to label everything and define it. Why cant we all accept the fact that not everyone is the same, and that that doesn't make us any less human. So many chances are lost because people are discouraged because of who they are to society . Many coloured students in school have it hard. Their life isn’t easy at home or school. From personal experience I could tell you that many of the coloured students a...

    Ethnicity has long been a cultural separator and gap closer for many generations. From the civil rights and black movements of the past and currently today, to the American Indians reservations and concentration camps of Japanese Americans during World War II. The American people and government are consistently fighting back and forth to try and right some sort of wrong that each party is consistently doing. George M. Fredrickson’s essay, Models of American Relations: A Historical Perspective (Fredrickson), talks about and explains how ethnic groups have been defining themselves for years or how the governments that they live under have been defining them as well. Ethnic groups have been defined and re-defined many different times throughout

  • Strict Scrutiny Argumentative Essay

    622 Words  | 2 Pages

    Inequality and prejudice has been around for as long as the country has been founded. Beginning as a social construct, arbitrary differences, be it sexual orientation, age, and or handicapped status, have been pointed out and discriminated against. Many advocate for stricter guidelines to be placed on new laws that might seem offense and or discriminatory. This is referred to as Strict Scrutiny and it is deemed as a necessity by some in order to remain a progressive society. This means that before a law can be made it must undergo carefully inspection by the Supreme Court. (180-181) I believe that this argument does have merit and should be the standard for these types of laws, as well as in general.

It 's evident that a place, or city where a person is raised may have an impact on that person 's behavior in what people do, the way people do, what people say or how people express themselves about certain things. Having a mixture of different races in our society is not a bad thing because it brings different cultures together. A mixture of cultures allows others to appreciate the differences of people. These differences may bring to light the good of some and the bad of others. The bad of others which can lead to something that needs to be taken away from society.

  • Segregation In Society: Has Society Really Been Desegregated?

    769 Words  | 2 Pages

    Throughout the 20th century people like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and many other advocates of desegregation in society have stood for the togetherness of all races. In society, depending on who he or she is, he or she may tell you that segregation doesn’t exist anymore and that our society is heading in the right direction. He or she may be right to a certain extent, but take a moment and think about whom your main group of friends is, what type of people reflects your religious settings, and what cultural background reflects the main group of people at your work place. Our society may seem right but has totally reversed in terms of cultural diversity in every aspect of our lives. Every race is categorized for being and doing something that may seem to help or hinder society. From where I grew up in society, the world portrayed to me to
