Today is March 22nd 1765, the British Government has made the Stamp act. This is a law where all American colonist have to pay a tax on EVERY printed piece of paper they used. I wouldn't care if the tax was for something important or for a good cause, but this was to be used to pay the costs of the defending and protecting the American Frontier near the Appalachian mountains. I do not understand why we have to help the British pay for their problems. I have to take money out of my own pocket…

Inequality The world around us is comprised of unequal social factors in all ages and periods, and inequality is preeminently shown in economics. In the past, inequality was mainly reflected by gender discrimination and racial discrimination. In the present, inequality is revealed by class-ism, a prejudice on the basis of social class.
