“Most Americans would have a difficult time telling you specifically what the values which some Americans live by. They have never given this matter any thought” (Robert Kohl’s, P.1) Some Americans value their rights, such as Women’s Rights, Black Lives Matter, and other societal movements they value. Equality of my understanding, is supposed to be created where as people are seen as equal and be able to come together as one. But the issue with Equality is we aren’t seen as equal and neither do we have Equal Rights and opportunities. For an example, some people have the privilege of being able to attend a school and get a proper education, while others do not have the privilege of attending a school.
In class we read the book To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee and watched the short film, Requiem for The American Dream by Noam Chomsky. In the book To Kill a Mockingbird Scout was bullied because she did things better than a male could. Being a female growing up to Scout didn’t matter she would do anything to keep from being called a girl (Shmoop.Ch.4).” Women like Scout should not have to down play their masculine side just because a male is intimidated by it. For an example ‘’YESALLWOMEN is a twitter hash tag and social media campaign which people share stories and examples about the violence happening toward the women in our community today. ‘’Women intentionally choose career paths that they
know pay poorly – without acknowledging the disparity in the way we value jobs predominantly held by women’’. Also H. Clinton suffered hardship during her running for presidential office.
Future orientation is goal setting for the future because it is in your hands. You choose your own path to live by It deals with inequality such as women’s right and issues with people of color (POC).
