    In 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson issued Executive Order 11246. The intent of this order was to implement affirmative action programs - a set of specific procedures designed to ensure an equal distribution of jobs and salaries to women and minorities - to overcome the historical effects of discrimination against women and minorities. As of recent, governments across the world have started to implement “diversity quotas,” which legally require private businesses to hire and promote a predetermined number of women or ethnic minorities within their organizations. Norway was the first country to introduce a 40% quota for female directors of listed companies in 2006. Non-complying firms could theoretically be forcibly dissolved. Since then gender…

    Discrimination is when one group of people treats another group unfairly because of some type of prejudice or hatred. It can happen when people have bad feelings about another person or group of people based on their race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, etc. Unfortunately, the US has a long history of discrimination and even if something seemed like the right thing to do at the time, discrimination is hurtful and often very unfair. This is especially true when the discrimination is institutionalized, or a part of the law or government. An example of this is Executive Order 9066 which was enacted during World War II, just after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. When Japan made war on the US on that fateful day, December 7, 1941, the US government and citizens became so scared that they allowed a form of discrimination to occur that was very harmful to thousands of native Japanese and Japanese-Americans. Executive Order 9066 and its details are a part of American history that many people do not know about, and the details of this order, in addition to the past and present affects, demonstrate a time in American history when a terrible case of discrimination was allowed to occur.…

One thought can bring millions of people together, who without that thought would have almost nothing in common with the others. In these five documents, all the writers have one common thought; everyone should be free and have equal rights. The writers have that common theme, but yet each individual focuses on a different aspect of freedom, and equal rights depending on who the writer is. Most of the documents do not focus on the equality and freedom of an entire population of humans, but more on the equality and freedom of women or of a particular race.…
