Equal rights (Kevin)

In the present time we as people have more equal rights than we did in the past. The equality injustices and discrimination we go through are somewhat mild compared to the ones of the past because In other times people would be jailed, or in worst cases killed for being unique by not looking or thinking like someone else, so we should be grateful for living during this time period. We should also acknowledge that the people who didn’t have the same equal rights as us spent their lives fighting for the people of today to have what they didn’t have.Today the population is growing together amongst other ethnicities, religions, and cultures, in which may not have been acceptable in other times because some people felt that since they were a certain color or had a certain religion they were superior to other groups of people. Although prejudice and racism still strongly exist in the world there is less segregation and people are now able to have (some) of the same privileges that were at one point of time exclusive to one race or group. People from different races and backgrounds are now able to go to the same schools, have the same jobs, and try new things. It is now acceptable, and quite normal for people from different backgrounds to embrace other religions and cultures without skepticism and judgment from others.
