We all live in this world where standards are made and we have to meet them in order to be accepted or to fit in. Although, we all have our own different opinions and ideas of life, we all just try to find ways to be accepted. In my opinion, people should not be assigned whether they are valuable or not in this world. We all play a major role, even if we may not be famous; we still have the ability to make a difference. For instance, I always struggle trying to fit in with others. I am constantly going out my way just to be accepted by someone who means everything to me. Every human life is valuable and the value of every human life is equal.…
Equality is a state of being equal in terms of value, quantity or quality. It is about uniformity. It is also about ensuring that people are treated fairly and given fair chances. Equality is not about treating everyone in exactly the same way, it is about recognising and valuing individual needs and seeking to meet them in different…
American history has shown that “equality” did not always pertain to everyone, with the treatment of the Indians, slaves and women’s rights in the early years of our government. What Americans have done since the 1700’s has shown that no matter who you are, Equality is something you can fight for.…
Women are equal to men that is one of the basics of human rights. What does this mean? Was there a time when men and women were not equal and what is it to be a woman. Women are viewed as girls, mothers, wives, grandmothers, relatives and…
I will admit that I originally thought that equality just meant that everyone had to be treated the same, but this is not actually accurate. We are to treat everyone that same, but not in the sense that I thought, it means by giving everyone the same choices and opportunities, either in education or care, no matter what their background or abilities etc. Every person has different needs and abilities so as long as they are given the same access to opportunities. It is not about having one rule for one group and another rule for a different group as this is discrimination. We are all equal in the fact that we are all part of the community and all deserve the same chances as everyone else.…
Equality is about making sure people are treated fairly and given fair chances. Equality is not about treating everyone in the same way, but it recognises that their needs are met in different ways.…
Equality can mean different things to different people; some people believe that equality means treating everyone the same. However you can not treat everyone as equal due to the fact that everyone has different backgrounds, life experiences, skills and knowledge. So no two people can really ever be the same. Individuality can be a positive attribute in all aspects of life. Equality can be more accurately described as when people are given equal opportunities giving them access to the same rights, choices and resources no matter of their gender, race, age, sexual orientation, religious belief or cultural differences.…
The inequality between men and women still exist in nearly every society today. While there have been improvements and strides towards equality for women, there is still some distance to go before that goal is achieved. Even in America, we have yet to have a women president, women working in the same job as men often get payed less, and we have the added prejudice of women that are considered beautiful being afforded more employment oppurtunites and higher pay. This adds to the subjection of women on another level because women are being looked on by men as objects of desire and are less likely to be valued for who they are just what they look…
all men are created equal. However, until very recently in this country this was not the case.…
Human equality, in an ideal society, must and should be observed at all times. Equality encompasses the different facets of life from simple issues inside a household to the biggest issue like economics. For example, if one citizen enjoys the right to engage in business, it must also be true with another citizen of a particular nation. If one parent can send his child to school, another parent must also be able to do so and if an individual can allot some money for let’s say a new gadget another individual must be able to do just the same…
Equality of men and women is extremely important even in American society in recent times. It is the reason that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his life to make sure that African-Americans would have the very same rights as any other American citizen. “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal” (Declaration of Sentiments, Women’s Rights Convention, Seneca Falls, NY, 1848). To me, self-evident means that it should be understood that because God created each human being, each human being should be allowed to have the same opportunities. However, without the same unalienable rights, American citizens are not truly…
Equality means no matter what differences an individual has they are equally entitled to be offered the same opportunities as the next individual. All people are equal as being part of the human race.…
All men are created equal; this includes women as well. Over a decade of years, women certainly have come a long way to gain the same kind of equal equality as men, such as being able to vote and being able to join the armed forces and fight alongside men. As growing up I was always told that playing dolls is a girl’s toy and playing a car is a boy’s toy. In my cultural, I was taught that girl couldn’t work in a male job, and I was taught to do housework while the men did nothing around the house. In my house/culture, the men are the provider while the women in my opinion are the servant in which caters to every male in the household. If people were to think about combat in the army many just picture a male behind the military ACU (advanced…
Equality is about making sure everyone is treated fairly and given the same life opportunities. It is not about treating everyone the same as they might have different needs to achieve the same outcomes. Equality means treating people in a way appropriate for their needs. It is ensuring individuals or groups of individuals are treated fairly and no less favourably because of race, gender, disability, religion or belief, sexual orientation or age.…
''Women's rights are human rights'', averred the Unites States Secretary of State- Hillary Clinton. The realisation of women's rights is a world-wide struggle based on universal human rights and the rule of law. Most women of today's generation enjoy multiple rights that act as a determinant factor in making them be on a par with men. Evidently without the emancipation of women, perhaps today we would still be living in a world where patriarchy is prevalent and women considered as ‘the inferior gender’.…
