Ayn Rand originated a philosophical structure on how she views the world. In Rand’s Anthem displays Equality as becoming an individual, but that is not the only reason he breaks away from his civilization. Equality defies the teachings and stands up for what he believes in even if he is killed. Equality’s motivation for creating the light bulb makes him a sacrifice for the advancement of mankind. Rand uses Anthem as an allegory to her own life. Rand grew up in a Communist society, thus making her write about freedom, collectivism, and individualism. Through this she is saying the messenger can be killed but not the message. Equality realizes this when he thinks back to the few great men that tried to stop the change of collectivism. “Perhaps they cried out in protest and in warning. But men paid no heed to their warning. And they, these few, fought a hopeless battle, and they perished with their banners smeared by their own blood. And they chose to perish, for they knew. To them, I send my salute across the centuries, and my pity” (Rand,103). The change in collectivism set their society back hundreds of years.…

The Native-American and African-American communities in the united states have undergone countless adversities since before the birth of America. The South held a stronghold on the institution of slavery, while American colonists robbed the indigenous people of their land and culture. After the civil war, however, the conditions of both groups changed dramatically. The residual tribes were driven to reservations and the slaves were freed. In the years immediately succeeding the war, blacks, due to a powerful Republican influence in the federal and state governments, were far better off economically, politically, and socially than their Native-American equivalents. While blacks gained suffrage and equality under the law, the natives lost their…

Let’s talk about equality. The ideal of equality has been partially implemented if we were to compare the equality problems America had and has between 1776 and 2017. Nevertheless, women have a harder time climbing the executive and legislative ladder just because they are women. A significant number of Americans still believe that women are inferior to men. Policemen pullover African Americans because they believe they are affiliated with gangs or they carry guns just because they are black. So it is clear that Americans have not live up to the ideal of equality expressed in…

We always want to respect the cultural perspective of others. However, in this context there are certain ‘non-negotiables’ we need to consider. Employees are required to treat all people with respect. This includes colleagues and service users, regardless of any aspect of their social identity. HC-One has an equalities policy which covers all employees and requires them not to discriminate on any aspect of social identity, including gender. Refusing to have eye contact with women could be considered discriminatory. There is a legal framework around sex discrimination that would prevent an individual directly treating someone less favourably on the grounds of their gender. It is not acceptable for an individual to use one aspect of their social identity to discriminate against another person because of an aspect of their social identity. As a practical way forward I felt that to meet with the staff member and discuss my concerns with him and my expectations regarding his…
