Uniformity And Diversity Case Study

Image a world that balances uniformity and diversity. Imagine a world that embraces the concept of equality, legitimacy, and opportunity. Although, we are entitled to equal protection under our system, some organizations within our structure will try to test and take advantage of our most vulnerable people. This can range from individuals with different cultures, individuals from low-income communities, and those with special needs.
Clearly, some of the traits mentioned can put someone at a disadvantage and at risk for hateful, deliberate acts methodically carried out by vile groups whose primary objective is to hinder selected members of societies. Fortunately, The Southern Poverty Law Center’s is an organization which embraces the concept of fairness for all. They are humanitarians whose primary objective is devoted to combating hate and racism. Essentially, they are the voice for the most susceptible population including minorities and children. The SPLC monitors the activities of domestic hate groups and other extremists – including the Ku Klux Klan, the neo-Nazi movement, neo-Confederates, racist skinheads, and black separatists. As
a result, they’ve tracked more than 1,600 extremist groups operating across the country. The publish investigative reports, train law enforcement officers and share key intelligence, and offer expert analysis to the media and public.
Their efforts of fighting hate and extremism began in the early 1980s, amid a resurgence of Klan violence that began several years after the end of the civil rights movement. Thus, each year since 1990, they have released an annual census of U.S. hate groups. Also, in the mid-1990s, they began documenting and released information concerning the number of radical and antigovernment militias activities of which Timothy McVey and Terry Nichols known to have masterminded and carried out during the Oklahoma City bombing of the Murrah Building.
Over the years, they’ve crippled or destroyed some of the country’s most notorious hate groups – including the United Klans of America, the Aryan Nations and the White Aryan Resistance – by suing them for murders and other violent acts committed by their members or by exposing their activities. They have educated us and brought awareness to activities taking place in our communities. Among other things they have expose the injustice taking place within our school system.
We are all aware that an individual culture, family upbringing, and socioeconomic level affect his or her behavior in school and society; therefore, the circumstances in which someone grows and develops has a vital influence on learning. Unfortunately, schools in states such as Alabama and Mississippi have faced a crisis involving our youngest population. They have in place a practice that “increases the likelihood of incarceration”. The SPLC has worked diligently to “eliminate exclusionary policies” which have resulted in the “school to prison pipeline”. Luckily, they have had many “successes in recent years. In Mobile, Alabama, for example, our lawsuit against the school district has resulted in a 75 percent reduction in school
days”.
Thoughtfully, they have brought attention to issues put into practice that have not permitted students from different cultures, students from low-income communities, and students with special needs to receive access to quality education; subsequently, promoting the same education for all students. I believe that their acts will continue to have an impact on the student’s chance for success in the future.

In sum, the SPLC promotes awareness concerning human rights. They embrace and address issues involving inequality. Their principles and beliefs encourage selflessness and philanthropy. As mentioned before, they have contributed to many positive changes and reinforcing human rights.
