Equality – Equality is about creating a fairer society, where everyone can participate and has the

Equal opportunity is to assure everyone of each sexual orientation, gender, class, religious credences, and race has an equal opportunity as anyone. Each person regardless of the race or religion can make use offered opportunity and to exceed their potential

When I thought about clothes, I didn’t smile as it was just another object on my “list of happiness”. But when I thought about my mom, my dad, and my brother, a smile emerged on my face. I could feel the happiness running through my veins from my head to my toes.

Our connection and interdependence to others is such an essential and imperative idea for us, as human beings, to comprehend. When one harms or is indifferent towards another person, one will be ultimately harming one self. For instance, when one person decides to completely ignore an individual who is homeless on the street in a city, that person thinks that their indifference is neither helping nor harming. This is in fact is not only harming the homeless individual but it is also negatively impacting the person who decided to maliciously ignore the homeless man. This homeless man will suffer the consequences of illness, and will eventually have to be taken to the emergency room for an

Brazil can be compared to the United States in several aspects. Both countries have a lot of things in common; however, we can point some differences too.

Equality is to treat all as individuals; to respect race, disability, age, gender, religion, beliefs ,culture and sexual orientation. For all to be open to opportunities, to be treated fairly and respectfully, have rights and equal status in society and for all to reach their full potential. Diversity is to value that we are all unique and yet similar. We have different needs, interests, learning styles, language and personality etc.

One of the most challenging professions for African American males is social work. As a social worker, I have realized that I have to work under two domains. The first one is to work under the race identity and the second one is to work as a class identity. Although I am proud of being an African American, I usually feel sorry for myself being from unprivileged social class in the American society. The identity of being an African American male has affected my social work in many aspects. This is because it has made it impossible to carry out my professional duties because of negative perspectives and discrimination in the society. African American social workers are considered to be incompetent by the rest of the society hence making it impossible to delegate duties without any form of discrimination. This paper provides my own reflections as an African American male in the field of social work and how this identity has affected my practice in community work and advocacy duties.

Any girl that has ever attended public school knows about the struggle of a dress code. On those hot days as the school year approaches, girls pour over their closets trying to find an outfit they won’t get called out for or sweat to death in. All their dresses are too revealing, their shorts too short, and their shirts reveal way too much shoulder—or so the schools say. Girls have been attacked time and time again with dress codes. Policies are almost always directed strictly towards girls; some even specify for girls only. These dress codes are not only sexist towards women, but they limit female’s freedom of expression and their choice to feel comfortable, and they do not teach female’s to have self confidence.

“Manhood coerced into sensitivity is no manhood at all.” - Camille Paglia. Manhood is the epic fury brought up inside every true man, a fury that drives all decisions and diminishes all odds. It is the drive and fuel to every gruesome operation that can only be destroyed by killing the captive of the soul. Macbeth, Banquo, and Macduff, though different in many obvious ways, share one major thing, and that is their manhood. Without their manhood they are nothing but a mere weakling, with their manhood, they are their true persons. The effects of Manhood in the play Macbeth are most apparently noticed in acts I through IV, through the characters of Lady Macbeth, Macduff, Banquo, Lady Macduff, Duncan and Macbeth himself.

Humanitarian action is what the world turns to in case there is a crisis in any part of the world. But as David Rieff suggests in his book, “A Bed for the Night: Humanitarianism in Crisis,” there is a crisis in the humanitarian world and space. He draws from first personal experience in places like Bosnia, Rwanda and Kosovo to tell how some of the challenges humanitarian organizations face; including their struggle to be neutral and apolitical.

Many students are excited by the idea of going back to school just because it means a new or revamped wardrobe. To illustrate this, Time's Family Finance section reported that in 2015, 93 percent of families went back-to-school shopping, and that the average family spent around $400 on school apparel (Time.com). Unfortunately, many students miss out on some of the most unique pieces simply because it does not fit the school dress code. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, around 58 percent of schools report having a strict dress code (nces.ed.gov). This means almost 60 percent of students are highly restricted from wearing some of their favorite

Dress codes in middle and high schools are a form of discrimination against teenage girls in today’s society. Parents and students all over the country argue that dress codes are directed mainly at girls and are a blatant example of gender inequality. The idea behind the strict enforcement of a dress code is that it will teach self-respect and raise moral standards for the students. However, when the reason for many dress code violations is questioned the rationale is often to prevent distracting the male students. Young women across the country are being shamed and punished for wearing what schools consider immodest and being a distraction to their male peers. This discrimination against female students results in their clothes being strictly regulated and dress coded more often than male students’ clothes are. The enforcement of these discriminatory dress codes has become a form of public humiliation for female students. Theoretically, a dress code makes sense and should be effective. In reality, it does not affect how students dress but causes a distraction and interruption of a girl’s education.

Attention Getter: Has anyone ever stopped to help you when you were in need? How did it make you feel?

As we discussed the policy, and what was "fair" and "unfair", it occurred to me that this has always been the case when it comes to dress code and dress code enforcement. Girls are the target. Girls bear the burden of what's appropriate and what is inappropriate, but why?

The death penalty has been carried out in several ways throughout its existence which include Lethal Injection, electrocution, Gas chamber, Hanging, and Firing squad. There has always been the thought of just which way is the best way to put someone to death. Lethal Injection has been the newest form of execution for the death penalty. It was “first adopted by the U.S. state of Oklahoma in 1977” to replace all other forms of execution because “it was considered cheaper and more humane” (Ecenbarger, 1994 and Weisberg, 1991).” During a lethal-injection procedure, a prisoner is strapped to a gurney” where three drugs are put into the person’s body (Ecenbarger, 1994 and Weisberg, 1991). The first drug is “sodium thiopental, a barbiturate anesthetic, which is supposed to induce deep unconsciousness in about 20 seconds.” (Ecenbarger, 1994 and Weisberg, 1991) The second drug is “pancuronium bromide, a total muscle relaxant that, given in sufficient dosages, paralyzes all voluntary muscles, thereby causing suffocation” (Ecenbarger, 1994 and Weisberg, 1991). The last drug is “potassium chloride, which induces irreversible cardiac arrest” (Ecenbarger, 1994 and Weisberg, 1991). The result is “death usually occurring less than two minutes after the final injection. In truth, lethal injection is a better way to give someone the death penalty” (Ecenbarger, 1994 and Weisberg, 1991). Although recently there has been much controversy over lethal injections becoming “botched” to where it
