Have you ever thought about how the world can be equal? If everyone were truly equal, the world would have to be very different. Laws and government would need to make sure that no one were unique. The government would also have to be able to keep people from breaking the laws so they would not break the rules and to not go against the government. Milton Friedman said, “A society that puts equality before freedom will get neither. A society that puts freedom before equality will get a high degree of both.” If you put equality before freedom then the outcome will be bad for the people because it takes away their freedom to speak out on what they feel or on what they want to do.I feel like freedom should be more valued than equality.If society ever have more equality but no freedom than society would have trouble speaking out on what they believe in they would just have to deal with whatever the government said for them to do.
If people were to ever put equality before freedom then it would not turn out good for them.For example in “The Giver” they had to live in a world full of equality and they had no freedom to do as they pleased.so if people ever decide to choose equality over freedom they have to know what they are willing to give up to get equality.but if they choose freedom then they have a better chances to have both equality and freedom then just having equality and no freedom.if people ever think it through then they would know to choose freedom over equality.Abraham Lincoln had said “These men ask for just the same thing: fairness, and fairness only. This is, so far as in my power, they, and all others, shall have.” this quote means people ask for equality and in return they try to make it happen for other people.i know that the quote would mean more to certain people who want equality more than freedom.
People can always have a chance to pick freedom if they ever wanted to they can also pick equality instead of freedom.so if they where to chose freedom they would get what is best for them instead of what is best for the government.people can also choose what they want to do and how they want to do it instead of someone else doing it for them.so if people choose freedom then they would be
As humans naturally, we believe that it is rather better to be free than not to be free, and in some cases we don't consider equality to be of great worth. One good example that proofs that theory true is, the African slaves in the western world, who fought and campaigned to be freed from slavery and to see slavery business abolished all together. They were struggling to be free, without having in mind that equality is indeed necessary in their struggle. As we know they were later freed from being slaves and regarded as freemen and women, but the main obstacle that hindered their progress in integrating into their
Justice and equality are both two very abstract concepts with numerous controversial definitions that are never agreed upon. Depending on the situations, justice can be the same as equality, or not. In the modern world, justice is often used as a political slogan, rather than a meaningful pursuit. Meanwhile equality is also one of the leading ideals of political movements, such as equal rights movements for marriage, voting, etc. In order to answer the question: is justice the same as equality, it is necessary to understand the precise meaning of equality and justice, the relationship between the two, the measurement of the two, and their current and historical status.
The United States has become the nation it is today due to several disputes on equality. These disputes have led to the creation of many documents that represent the equality and rights that should be given to every American. An example of two U.S seminal documents are the Economic Bill of Rights and the Brown vs. the Board of Education; these documents not only represent the fights on equality, but both authors use literary devices in order to persuade the reader that their argument is valid.
“All men are created equal”, One of the famous quotes from the Declaration of the Independence, ever since it was created in 1776. This document that has established our country. Written by Thomas Jefferson himself and revised by John Adam and Benjamin Franklin, where they were able to establish the reasons why the United States needed there independence with their ideals of equality, unalienable rights, consent of the governed, and the right to alter or abolish government. These are all really important to follow because they each have a purpose but the one that I believe is most important would be equality. I believe that it is because it's something we really haven’t been able to understand over the following years.
M1): Analyze the importance to public services of good citizens respecting equality and supporting them by respecting the key concepts associated with diversity.
“May we not think of freedom as the right to do as we please, but as the opportunity to what is right.” (Peter Marshall). Some people don’t think about freedom as that. Freedom is doing the right thing but when one chooses to do it. Freedom is being able to have certain rights like speaking your mind, and making one’s own decisions.
Based on the Constitution, it is possible for individuals in society to achieve equality because the I, II, VII, and XIII Amendments give citizens of the United States freedoms that were not originally given in the Constitution. Amendments I and Amendments II allows us to bear arms in order to protect ourselves from any violence and from criminals. Amendment I also gives us the ability to believe whatever religion without anyone saying what we should worship. It also gives us the right to speak freely and to peacefully protest. Amendments VIII and Amendment Xlll gives us the ability to protect ourselves from any government tyranny and it also gives us the ability to speak freely on what is unfair. It also gives us the right to be respected and it also protects us from being enslaved from another person. Although not many people believe in the Amendments II and VIII, these Amendments still are used to today and protects us as U.S. citizens. Lasting Thoughts: What is the last thing you want to tell me about your views on equality?
“I never doubted that equal rights was the right direction. Most reforms, most problems are complicated. But to me there is nothing complicated about ordinary equality.” – Alice Paul (Alice Paul Quote)
In the Declaration of Independence it restates that all men are “endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness . . . .(Steve Greenberg).” It isn't possible to achieve liberty without equality because the people are tied together. If someone is considered less than equal to another person under the law, then that person will always be the so-called protected
As Philip Randolph said, “Freedom is never given, it is won.” Philip was a leader in the African-American Civil Rights Movement and the American labor movement. We have historically had to learn from our mistakes, such as the Spanish-American War. In the Spanish-American War we were trying to protect people, so we thought, so they fought against us and they fought back. We deserved to right to do what we want after what happened here, we proved ourselves. To me, freedom is learning from you mistakes.
People would not seek for freedom unless, they do not have enough freedom, or they are
The word “we” had a great effect on the story is because this code is all they know sense the old world is behind them.No one has any good information about the forbidden times.Partly because talking about a crime and can be punishable by death.One man discovered the unspeakable word and spoke of it and was mudered.Thats one of the reasons why the word “we” had a great effect on the story.
Murray grew up in relative privilege, and her politics, being the result of debate and study, are reflective of such. She did not shy away from pointing out the hypocrisy of the free American ideology, as being a concept that excluded an entire gender. Murray believed that establishing the equality of women’s rights was a necessity to consider America a free country, and even more so to consider the American society to be one composed of educated, well reasoned people. Her advocacy for the advancement of women expanded to the widest levels, politically, as well as to the most compressed, mundane social activities of everyday life. The domestic activities of the everyday women were in no way intellectually stimulating, leaving the majority of
The Meaning of Freedom Freedom as defined in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary; the absence of necessity, coercion, or constraint in choice or action (Merriam-Webster, 1883). We all make choices so that would mean we all have freedom or so one would think. If we all truly have freedom then we should be allowed to do what we want, where we want, and how we want, however; that would lead to chaos. Just because we have freedom does not mean that we run around going crazy. That is where laws come in, they prevent the chaos from destroying society and the freedoms that we enjoy.
one of the most important and complicated dilemmas of human philosophy: how do we choose
