People are unequal and we should not treat them equally. What is equality? Equality is a state in which every living person is given the same number of opportunity to vent out their ability to its fullest‚ regardless of gender‚ race‚ wealth‚ religion‚ and so on. However‚ in the world of capitalism and libertarianism‚ people cannot be equal. Each person is born with different amounts of wealth and contrary aspects both physically and mentally‚ no matter how much people fight for equal human

Even though college algebra is considered to be an obstacle for many students in terms of degree completion‚ as teachers we must teach useful strategies to motivate our students to find interest in mathematics. Recently‚ there is a psychological problem that we as teachers will face in the future‚ which is that some students believe they were born incompetent in math. However‚ “effort is key to their success and failure is a result of a lack of effort” (Cortes-Suarez‚ 2004). As teachers‚ we must

By calculating four intervals based on your height can be possible by using the Body Mass Index formula. However‚ in this situation I am going to use inequalities to calculate Body Mass Index(BMI) which is meant to

Economic inequality encompasses two very concerning issues that negatively affect the citizens of the United States as well as those in other countries. The first is income inequality; "This describes the gap in how much individuals earn from the work they do and the investments they make." Secondly‚ there is wealth inequality which "measures the difference in how much money and other assets individuals have accumulated." (Matthews‚ 2014). There are a variety of opinions on how to address these
