What It Means To Be Equal

All throughout history mankind has been fighting for some form of equality and it's safe to say that this fight is still something that is going on today. Whether it be a fight for equality among genders, races, religions, etc. In Prof. Brady's lectures on equality she talked about how oppression affects the human experience and how this drove some people to cope with this unjust treatment by writing how they experience that time period.  With the story "White Woman of Color", by Alvarez, we learn about the affects of racism not only in America but also in the Dominican Republic and how this sort of inequality can affect children. Along with looking at works such as "White Woman of Color" Prof Brady gave us the opportunity to voice our own opinions on the struggle for equality. It was interesting to here everyone's opinions and personal experiences with inequalities. I personal believe that for the most part we are equal here in America. Yes, I do understand that there are still some case of inequality in the workplace and in the general public but overall we are all equal. I believe that the movements that originally fought for equality are now just fighting for special treatment instead of trying to fight for rights for those that live in less fortunate countries.
