“Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and blind can see” (Twain). For many years people in society have discriminated against a person who has a different life: different color, different gender, different beliefs, different cultures, and different morals. Mark Twain was known to be one of the greatest writers of all time but he was also quite a revolutionist. Through his writing he conveys a common ideal in order to enlighten his audience and help them recognize what equality is. Twain recognized that there was no difference between an African-American and a white man. Society only perceives that there is a difference because they have different skin colors. Twain wanted to completely eradicate this idea because it does not matter

After slavery was abolished white men were not able to accept African-Americans were apart of society. Twain wanted to explain that if one was to take away what color one was and focus on how they acted it would initially start a sense of where white men and African-Americans could accept each other. Twain believed that if society were to accept people of different colors then not only will it develop a multicultural environment but will progress society on a social aspect. This idea will eventually lead to people bringing forward new ideas on how to develop one’s own community. Different perspectives help bring forth the best idea to which one can build upon that. Another idea Twain emphasized to people in society, so that this would be changed in the future, was to never “pre judge someone by how someone looks or acts”(brainpickings.org, pg 2). Twain recognized that many people, prior to meeting someone face to face, would judge someone before hand. This was an idea that Twain strived to eradicate or otherwise it could completely ruin his chances of creating a long lasting belief of equality within every single individual.

Like most americans, Twain also thought that America went into imperialism for help those countries who need help but it was only to justify their alternate motives to benefit themselves economically. “Just our usual flag, with the white stripes painted black and the stars replaced by the skull and cross-bones”(bennorton.com, pg 2). Twain explains the ignorance of the United States government and how they aren’t actually helping out those countries in need but actually causing them even more pain. Those inferior countries are not being respected and are not equally treated. Primarily because America believes that those individuals living within those inferior countries are incapable of being at the same standards as americans. Twain believed that this was not what America should stand for; where people must live in fear of them and must take them for granted, or as a savior. That both countries should earn the respect of each other and that there should be equality between them. Progressing with this idea will help attain countries to develop one another and create a peaceful bond between them. I strongly believe that Twain was completely justified in writing these
