Society Will Never Be Free From Discrimination

“Society will never be free from discrimination. The only change will be in who we discriminate against.”

I agree with the statement “Society will never be free from discrimination. The only change will be in who we discriminate against.” Because hundreds of years ago black people where treated as slaves and considered as second class citizens by the white people. Today people are discriminated against because of their gender, sexual orientation, color, religion and looks. In the future as depicted by “Gattica” people will be discriminated against because they where not genetically altered when they where born.

The statement “Society will never be free from discrimination. The only change will be in who we discriminate against.” Is very much true because hundreds of years ago white people used to kidnap black people and force them to be slaves, the black people got all the worst things such as the worst parts of town, the worst books and the worst areas of a restaurant or pub. Their where even groups that where set up to kill any black person that did something “wrong” or any white person that was aiding a black person, one such group was known as the Ku Klux Klan (K.K.K). A good example of what the K.K.K could do is the movie “Mississippi Burning “where three journalists (two white and one black) where killed in Mississippi by the K.K.K, they killed the two white journalists because they where friends with the black journalists and they killed the black one because he was black. In this movie it shows the K.K.K had ties in the whole tow, the sheriff and the local police department where all apart of the K.K.K, witch shows that their would be no justice against the inhumanities that where happening in Mississippi because the “law” was apart of these inhumanities. This is why believe that the statement “Society will never be free from discrimination. The only change will be in who we discriminate against.” is very true.

Today we would like to think that discrimination has become less common but in fact it has increased, because now we don’t just discriminate by color discriminate by age, race, religion and appearance. This displayed in this example, Wal-Mart one of the biggest franchises in America has been sued by a female employee for non equal rights because a male counterpart was offered a promotion and she was not, also the male counterpart who was doing the same job as her was being paid more then what she was. This example further proves that the statement “Society will never be free from discrimination. The only change will be in who we discriminate against.” Is true.
