on the Constitution, equality is achievable in America’s society. There are several amendments in the Constitution that have changed the possibilities of achieving equality; Amendments 1, 13, 15, 19, 23, and 26.

This has to do with the roles that society puts on genders and how they are not equal to each other. Equality is achieved…
Equality and Fairness: Failed Principles The battle to achieve a sense of fairness and equality has been relevant amongst humans since the beginning of time.

I define equality as having the same opportunities everyone els has; with with the same amount of effort given. However, I feel that, in America everyone has the same oppurtunity, but not with the same effort applied. I am basing my opinon on the aspects of race, gender, social background, and etc. America, has come a long way from the way equality use to be portrayed. Nevertheless, I…
Equality woohoo! Right? Everybody thinks they want it, everybody thinks they know what it means, but do they? Total equality in society is impossible. One of the big problems causing equality to be is distant dream is humans themselves. In order for there to be total equality, we would all need to have the same mental regard for life.

While I was growing up, I didn’t think the issue of women’s rights will ever affect me. My mom always talked about how much women are treated unequally. But at the age of fifth-teen, I finally realized how much I really do need women’s rights in my life. Not only did I feel it personally, but watching it happen all around me. “I raise up my voice-not so I can shout, but so that those without a voice can be heard…we cannot succeed when half of us are held back.” This quote by Malala Yousafzai…
