There are many issues of homosexual discrimination in the workplace, schools, and there’s even discrimination in the home. But why is this still happening in the 21st century? We say that we are civilized, but are we really? We are blind by the things that don't really matter, by things that are slowing down humanity.
All that really matters is your contribution to the world. This issue is something that needs to be profoundly acknowledged. What if you were judged on your actions, kindness and wisdom rather than your sexual orientation, race or religion.
I believe that our goal as humans is to get to the point where our world is on par with the world of the Star Trek universe. Where we are acknowledged as one race, humanoids. Where our goal in life is to make the lives of others better. And where we can set aside our differences and team up with aliens to build utopia. However, to reach this goal, we have to take one step at a time. Let's start by treating everyone equally
The discrimination that is goes on today against some people is absolutely true. Why are we still acting the same way people acted 50 years ago towards someone who is "different". In the middle ages, people who were different were burned to dead and killed for no reason, by using hateful words and discriminating others, it leads to suicide, which in the end is death. Like you said, many people who actually get to know the person they are judging come to realize that their judgment was false. However, many people don't take the time to actually get too know the person because it is considered a "waste of time". I agree with your claim that in society , we must work together and must have a goal to help others to make their lives better, however, I really don't understand the alien thing. We will probably be dead by the time the common man can make contact with aliens. But I like your analogy.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, discrimination is such an annoyance and barricade to equality. I think, personally, discrimination is taught, not born with. We subtly teach others to think a certain way, and eventually that becomes prejudice. Equality requires looking at everything and everyone fairly. You say that we should all treat everyone equal, but such a thing isn't very easy. How can we accomplish it?
ReplyDeleteOh, and your comparison to Star Trek and the one human race is excellent. I like it!
