Equal
rights and equal opportunities plays a role in everyone’s life, but not
everyone realizes it. It’s involved in every comment you make that includes
someone different. Every near discriminatory “joke” you say.
It affects people, even if it doesn’t affect you.
Human
rights means being able to hold hands with the person you love, work where you’re
qualified to work without your skin color or sexual orientation being the
reason you can’t; it means having the right to be human, making choices and
mistakes. Society has gotten to the point where people think it doesn’t matter
what they say, that they think their comments and hate don’t affect other
people. Humans are often hurtful towards each other, but I believe we all were
born with the innate of compassion and love. I see people not being able to
marry someone they love because they are the same gender, even though it is
acceptable to marry someone then divorce the next day. I hear and see this type
of thing everyday; people being ignorant and neglecting the notion that all
humans are equal. I wish I didn’t see bias and prejudice, but I do. Everyone
has also their opportunity to make theirselves more progressive and proficient
by having their rights.
So
overall what I’m trying to say is any human beings should always be treated
with respect, whether you like the person or not. Respect their own rights, and
hopefully they’ll respect yours. Just like the saying, “treat
others how you want to be treated”. The right to be who we’re destined to be
belongs to everyone, not just people who are favored or socially acceptable. I
can look around and see a flawed humanity. My one hope is to see that change.
Because we may be different on the outside, but we are all human. Nothing else should
define us. not race, sex, or sexual orientation.
