Civil Rights: Has Equality Really Improved?

We all know that the civil rights of the past have changed over time due to multiple acts of righteousness. Although peopleʻs rights have improved into a more civil manner, there are some basic questions that need to be answered. Has equality really improved? Are the rights we have now still big issues? Do we now lack inspiring leaders in our communities today as compared to the past? Are we driving along a racetrack of racial segregation (and other civil rights problems) constantly racing in a tournament of civil rights that will never end? I seek to apply what I have learned and produce an opinion on these questions, and possible answers. To begin with, I believe that equality has neither improved nor gotten worse. We all have our opinions on the modern day society, whether they be positive or negative, we all have a say. In my opinion, it is highly dependent on an individualʻs opinion towards this problem. For example, in one personʻs eyes, equality might seem completely and totally fair, whereas to somebody else, equality may not be as equal as it sounds. Either way, you have the power to speak up for the community in acts of settling morality.
Furthermore, there are some rights being declared as issues for the community.
Issues such as the bringing back of racism (racial segregation) and violations such as harassment in of which has inappropriately violated multiple peopleʻs rights. Both of these issues (and more) have had some big impacts on our society. For example, protestors have taken to the streets, protesting about the racial segregation involving police officers performing violent acts on innocent colored people. Also, the acts of harassment that have recently become a problem to society and are all examples of of issues popping up throughout
society. Lastly, we are in need of inspiring leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr. or Gandhi. Nowadays, people have become so engulfed in the issues of society that we have forgotten what has solved such problems in the past. I believe that we need more inspirational characters in our community to step forward and take pride in bettering the minds of children and adults and informing people of the problems in the world, including how to prevent such problems in their personal lives. In conclusion, our role in this generation is to inform each other on our current problems and informing adults on these issues as well. Our generation has to step up to the plate and inspire others to engage in ongoing actions to end racism, harassment, and other terrible violations of civil rights. We have waited for to long, itʻs time that we put a speed bump in our endless race and slow down the recurrance of our issues down.
