Freedom has been a
constant struggle throughout world history. While major political and social
leaders say there are significant steps in this, these are less than empty
words.
Are we aware that the
world has not improved on society topic? I think not, and we are far from understanding
this. First we must consider that progress, rather than material, is linked to
the social topic. Until today's times, people do not understand the concept of
equality.
Do you have a dream? If
the answer is yes, then prove it. Show the world that it is a good desire, and
like Luther King’s, it seeks equality.
‘‘I have a dream that my four little children will one
day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin
but by the content of their character.’’ (King, 1963) 
So, we've all heard
about the famous Martin Luther King, who fought for American’s Civil Rights
Movement, but being more general, he fought for equality.
Do not stay in the
past where some races thought they were superior, in this globalized world we
are all equal, we are all family. Don't show your stupidity discriminating. It
is easier to demonstrate intelligence through tolerance to others. You need
more people contributing to the progress of equality, to help people and to
fight constantly, as did Luther King and many others who have remained
anonymous.
I'm going to share with you the speech of Martin Luther King named ‘‘I have a dream’’ from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial during
the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom
He spoke powerfully and eloquently of his desire
for a future where black and white people could coexist harmoniously as equals. And while this was accepted in a good way, other
people were insisting that ''black people’’ were inferior and should not have
the same rights. From that day everything changed, even if not come to a
complete equality, the speech touched the hearts of many people.
Let's fight for the
equality, stop with the ignorance. I want to make it clear, that this entry,
more than to inform, tries to create awareness about what happens in this
world.
It is true that even after all this years have passed, the world still has problems with this topic. After all the problems, killings, wars, fights, etc, people still are extremely closed-minded. To say that human kind is afraid of change is such a true statement. People has yet to accept the diversity that exists in this world, and by this, I don't mean only races. Let's take homosexuals for example. The discrimination they suffer is huge, we can all agree that they are not treated the same as straight people. But why shouldn't they have the same rights? They are humans, like everyone; why does the decision of who to love changes anything? Why would anyone reject their wish to marry whoever they want?
ReplyDeleteNo matter how many time passes, human intolerance won't dissapear. Fifty years ago it was discrimiantion towards afro-american people- which stills lasts, by the way; now this, which is really just an example of the problems that exists nowadays.
Why can't people live whitout judging others? That's what I'll never understand. We are all humans living in this awful world, and our lives are so short and insignificant, why can't we just be kind to each other and try to make it better? Why hate someone because they are different? Live and let others live, that's what I always say; do what you want to do as long as it doesn't hurt others. I believe that's a lesson we all have to learn
