Do All Humans Deserve the Same Treatment?


The question, do all humans deserve to be treated equally, has been tossed around for some time now. My opinion on the matter is that people should be treated equally, to a certain extent. In the article, Equal Rights: The Right to be Treated Equally, talks about human rights and its meaning. In our life today, this topic is everywhere from sexist, to racist people, everywhere there is some sort of unfair mistreatment of people.

Throughout the centuries, all around the world, men have been putting women down and treating them as if they were less, when in reality they are equal. Thankfully it is not as much as a problem in the U.S than in other countries. For example in countries in the middle east, many women have been mistreated because of being a women. The male for centuries has thought that he is the most important, I wish they new that we need to all be treated equally.

In other cases of human inequality their is the case of racism. Racism is one of the biggest things the U.S is dealing with. Evan after years, racism is still a big thing going on right now. From African Americans to Mexicans, all these people get mistreated terribly. On September 11,2001, the U.S suffered a terrible catastrophe caused by terrorists from the middle east. After that many people wearing turbans and head raps were instantly  thought of as terrorists. People from India were always being thought of as terrorists, some people were even killed because of that.

As you can see people who are not treated equally suffer. It is not fair. We need to put an end to sexism,racism, and any other human inequality, because truly the only thing that separates us from other people is our actions.
