"Equal Rights Equal Opportunities" - Keep your Eyes Open


          “Equal Rights Equal Opportunities” – do you know what this means? It emphasizes the equality among individuals especially women. Gender-based discrimination is the most pervasive form of this inequality that must be discarded. Racism is also an act of inequality which contradicts equality in rights and opportunities. Everyone deserves to be treated equally. Keep your eyes open. Can’t you see today that there are things such as women maltreated and racism happening? Yes, they do happen. But it does not mean we will do nothing about it. As emphasized, this thing is ruddily showing that there is no equality among us. We are all equal in God’s eyes. In ourselves, let us practice being equal, in rights and in opportunities.
          The way forward equal rights and opportunities to all, especially women- will lead us to a better world and society within us. The obstacles that stand in our way through equality will be broken if we all will participate to break those barriers of inequality. There may be some individual differences but we are indispensable. Hand in hand, we will make our way through the light of equal rights and opportunities. We can help and practice this. Just keep your eyes open for the reality. Never discriminate anyone. We are all valuable. There are many things that display inequality, we just have to know it and discard them. This gender-based discrimination and racism are the most prominent act of equality. We know what to do. We humans, the highly socialized and civilized creatures on Earth know what to do for these things.

“As a nation we began by declaring “all men are created equal.” We now practically read it that all men are created equal except Negroes, foreigners and Catholics. When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretense of loving liberty — to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocrisy.”
—Abraham Lincoln
As said by Lincoln, he showed equality among black and white races. We can do something. He is the best example for this post. We are free, both equal. No one needs to be higher than the other. Equality is what we need and inequality to be discarded.
