Skin Tone Cause Injustice

Decent Essays
The ignorance of the differences in individuals whether by gender, religion or skin tone can cause injustice because you can not force equality when there is none. This diversity allows different viewpoints in society and those opinions shaped by the individual's perspective should not be caged by the principle of political correctness. I am a german scholarship student and observed this injustice in an official selection procedure. You have to undergo several tests in order to find the most suitable applicant for the scholarship. One of the tests is a group interview where we had to prove ourselves through communication skills. A male applicant was especially outstanding because of his political knowledge and conduct. It was clear for everybody

    Equality Within the comforts of the modernized human civilization that we all experience upon a daily basis, a person can easily forget how privileged they are to be existing in such a time of human equality and take that for-granted. However, times were not always as pleasant as they currently are; different diversities of people were not only shamed for their race, gender or ethnicity, but they were abused for it. In addition to that, abuse of this kind happened less than a hundred years ago during the times of when countries all around the world were placing the African American people under racial segregation. That being said, if things like human trafficking and racial discrimination can still be found in today’s modern world, then unfair…

    An extreme case dealing with unfairness and racism recently was the ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement that is still prevalent. In this movement, you can see several opinions in the black community about how they are not treated fairly or in the same manner compared to whites. I believe as long as this ongoing mental war between races exists, there will not be a level where everyone can be at equilibrium. It is definitely not a matter that can be solved over night, maybe not even 10 years, but addressing that there is a problem that needs to be dealt with is crucial for understanding one another. After reading this article, it made me evaluate many instances in my past where a sense of invisible privilege may have come into play.…

    The legacy of racial discrimination and oppression towards people of black descent in America, is one of inequality and mistreatment. In “Being Poor, Black, and American,” William Wilson writes about three types of forces that hinder the progress of blacks in society: political, economic, and cultural. Society’s dialogue on the current socio-economic status of most African Americans leans towards blaming blacks for their own lack of effort and judgment; however, these situations are deeply rooted in factors beyond the control of most ordinary black folk: the government’s deliberate initiatives to create of internal ghettos with project standards of living, the lack of circulation into minority communities, the transition away from a physical…

    Although there are many issues with inequality of gender, I believe that there is also inequality issues with race and class, as Margaret Andersen and Patricia Collins have stated in this article. They go on to say that there is many more problems of unfairness beyond just gender. There is still problems for inequality between males and females like job opportunities, salary, in politics, etc, but there is also problems looking at the bigger picture. These other characteristics we all possess, race and class, can cause circumstances where things aren’t fair for everyone either. Andersen and Collins state that these three aspects, gender, race, and class, are all intertwined to make up an intricate, social…

    Each group experiences injustice in different ways, while seeking the same overall goal. As a white woman, the police will never stop me because of my skin color, nor will I be accused of stealing because of my skin color, nor will I be shot because of my skin color. I am a female, who is under oppression by men, NOT by a race. That is the difference. I am still privilege because of my skin tone.…

    Giving preferential treatment to one races or gender when it comes to hiring or educational admissions, I feel can have negative effects. Those being discriminated may begin to feel they are only be hired or accepted out of pity by another individual, further pushing racial or gender differences. Additionally, I like Pojman think there may be a more fitting compensation other than preferences in hiring or admissions. In Pojman’s assessment of those innocently benefiting from a past injustice firmly agree with.…

    “Violence as a way of achieving racial injustice is both impractical and immoral. Violence never brings permanent peace.” Martin Luther King, Jr. spoke those words decades ago, and although those words were spoken years ago, they still relate to today’s world. It seems that the world has transformed into this culture of hate and inequality.…

    Racial disparity in the criminal system may influence a judge’s discretion on a case where a crime may be morally wrong, yet the decision of a judge may give a less sentence based on race, status, and history. For example, graduate Judge Aaron Persky in the State of California vs. Brock Turner case, gave Brock Turner a 6-month sentence instead of 6 years in a rape case. Many felt that Judge Persky was being too leniency and may have been biased because he and the perpetrator went to Standard. Even though Judge Persky didn’t violate any laws by his ruling, however he may have overused his discretion, where there aren’t any clear instructions on how to make a decision on a case, so one may have to use their discretion. Issues dealing with the…

    The belief that one person is superior to another person just because they have certain physical features does not mean that one person has a supreme ranking in society. In the past, Nazis, such as Hitler, believed that the Aryan race (blonde hair and blue eyes) was set to rule the world just because lighter skin tones were viewed as superior. The truth is that there is no evidence to back up this claim. People that have this mentality, such as Hitler and other Nazis, are responsible for the suffering and deaths of over 6 million innocent Jews. In the end, we are all equal and there is no scientific evidence to prove otherwise.…

    Visual art has always had a power to move people. Whether it was drawings in the 17th century or the modern day news channels we have today art has always been a means for someone to exact a feeling or emotion from the viewer.

My main goal was to have my audience feeling like they could relate to both of the characters in my story while also deriving a message from the video.
