Equality
For many past years, certain groups of people talked to each other, hung out with each other, done a various amount of things with that specific group of people. Ancient Romans associated within themselves, conquering other countries in the process. During the eruption of immigrants in the mid- 19th century, Americans would isolate themselves from the new people as they drank a lot, Catholic and very poor. Americans still shunned them away. Since basically forever, whites and blacks have been in territorial war for centuries before the slave trade hit the colonies in the 1600s. It still happens today; teenagers especially create a clique or group of peers and only hang out with them. Whoever is not in the clique, you would not be treated the same as the people in the clique.
In modern times, people separate not usually by gender or race but their interests, character and hobbies. Football players normally hang out with other football players, cheerleaders usually hang out with cheerleaders, and marching band players usually hang out with other marching band members. Those hobbies bring people together and hang out with them, but not usually as much as other people that are not in those hobbies. Character explains in actions how you truly are inside. If you use profanity frequently, cheat on tests, steal things knowing who it belongs to its not cool and morally wrong. If you help people with their belongings, they usually act nicer to you. However, equality mainly shows in early adulthood. For example, 2 people apply for a computer job and take an interview. One man, one woman. In reality, the man will end up getting the job simply because he is a man. Now let’s say there are a white man and a black man fighting for the same computer job. More than likely the white man will end up getting the job because he is white. Now there are two white men applying for the computer job. One has a 3.5 GPA and the other has a 4.1 GPA. The man with the 4.1 GPA is more likely to get the job because he has a higher average.
Nothing in this world is equal, not everything can be equal. This country was built unequal. White men have an advantage in this country because white men built this country. Well in a governmental aspect. However, being unequal is being different and that is good. It is not the talents that make people stand out, but their imperfections and that is what expresses your true identity. Learning from this, people can’t be perfect but they can strive to beat the person ahead of them and express their unique talents. However, you need to find your self-identity and purpose before claiming for equality and fighting the system.
