America is a country with a long history of injustice from slavery to internment camps, and it still has a lot of injustice which is why I have four ideas about the current injustice that goes on in our country. My first big idea is that America has complete disrespect for the natives of this land; taking their beliefs and traditions. A textbook example of this is when in the second half of the 1800’s and about a hundred years on from white men assimilated the children of natives to forget their beliefs and “kill the indian and save the man”. When white men took the children away from their parents they were completely disrespecting the natives as they were destroying their family traditions and murdering their family connections.

Immigrants are more likely to have low-paying jobs. Immigrants make up a good chunk in the workplace (17.1%) but most of the jobs they own are low-paying and this means that they are not being given a chance to move up unlike average US citizens. Education in the US is unbalanced and unfair. Schools in richer communities get more money and school funding varies from state to state. The fact that school funding has so much fluctuation from area to area means that the level of education US students receive is very unbalanced throughout the States. Poor people get treated differently than “rich people” because money is more important than people in poverty. Minimum wage work is becoming more common while job productivity is increasing. More people are performing minimum wage work than ever before while productivity is increasing which means people are working hard for their employees but are still in poverty because they are not being adequately paid. I estimate that if this continues the level of poverty in our country will continue to rise and our country will be millionaires versus poverty stricken
