“A PERFECT WORLD IS A WORLD WITHOUT DISCRIMINATION”

I partially disagree about this topic “a perfect world is a world without discrimination”. Discrimination is treating people by their differences. We all need a world with good discrimination, not bad discrimination. In this Essay I’m going to discuss three reasons to support my arguments. Vincent’s discriminated in Gattaca is a bad form, will discrimination still exists in today’s world, and also racism is important form of discrimination. Imagine a future without discrimination or lack of understands. Discrimination has always existed in society. In today’s world discrimination will continuously be part of nature and is necessary as I will outline.
Vincent is in-valid and he faces genetic discrimination and prejudice in the movie Gattaca. The only way he can achieve his dream of becoming an astronaut is to become Valid, a person who impersonates a “valid” with a superior genetic profile. Discrimination in Gattaca is so logical, “I belonged to a new underclass, no longer determined by social status or the color of your skin. No, we now have discrimination down to a science.” This quote shows us that Vincent is having a hard time of achieve his dream. Vincent almost takes it granted in his daily life. But in the end he achieves his long-life dream of becoming an astronaut is to break the law and impersonate a “valid”. Vincent’s successes at Gattaca space preforms better the Irene –who is a “valid”, and shows that discrimination in Gattaca was wrong and ultimately flawed.
Does discrimination exists in today’s world? Discrimination in today’s world is still alive. People who say there isn’t just choose not to notice. Discrimination comes in all forms it is not just racism anymore. It may not be the same as it was before, but it still exists. People go through discrimination every day, but they might not make a big deal about, cause they may not think about it but that does not change that it is wrong. Before

    Discrimination in our world is a common thing. It comes in all types of forms from the way we look, what religion you practice or the color or your skin. Throughout history this shows to be true with the Jews during WWII all the way to the African Americans in South Africa. Discrimination is a horrible event that has caused pain and suffering to even good people just based on the different ways people do things and the way some look.…

    A world without discrimination, though appealing, is both impossible and nonexistent. While times have become especially revolutionized in recent history (e.g., marriage equality for same-sex couples), there still exists discrimination in scattered parts of society and politics. This is not to say, however, that issues such as racism and sexism are as severe as they were just less than a century ago. Even still, more than three-quarters of Americans today believe that racism against blacks is still a “widespread…

    Discrimination is the wrongly unjust treatment of different groups of people based on certain characteristics such as race, sex, and/or religion. Discrimination has been around for centuries and has become a very big problem in today’s time. With the United States being so diverse and being home to many different groups of people, discrimination is a very common problem that happens amongst the different groups of people. Discrimination has been a long standing problem in the history of the United States. Discrimination in the United States can date back to before the United States of America were a thing and the North American continent was first being discovered by Christopher Columbus and the European explorers. One of the very first…

    In the 1920’s, restaurants in the United States were not the same as the restaurants we visit today. Certainly there were servers to serve food and beverages expecting a tip as usual, but that is not what is different. Look toward the window, there is a sign written in big letters: WHITES ONLY AT THIS POINT. During this time, signs granting access to whites were common, but what does this mean for the races that are not white? Whether one can admit it or say otherwise, racial discrimination will always be part of modern society. The world has faced the issues of discrimination ever since the beginning of time. Discrimination can be defined as the prejudicial treatment based off of different categories. These different categories apply to religion, race, sexuality and gender. Since the earth was formed, the world has been brought up by race. After the discovery of race, the issues of discrimination start. An example of this is with the settlers of Europe. They looked down upon Native Americans as inferior to them. The Natives have been beaten and raped and forced to convert to Christianity by the force of Europeans. Still to this day we still struggle on the topic of discrimination. As mentioned earlier racial discrimination still exists, but we fail to realize that it is happening. Many people believe that discrimination has gotten better, but is it really? In the media, we hear reports about the treatment of minorities in the law. One race can be turned away for job even if they are more than qualified for the position. This paper will argue out of all minorities that experience discrimination, African-Americans experience it the worst. This paper will also explain that although individual discrimination is at a minimum, institutionalized discrimination still exists at an all-time high but…

    Poetry can be compared and contrasted in many ways. I have chosen to compare and contrast two poems by Siegfried Sassoon. “His poetry both described the horrors of the trenches, and satirized the patriotic pretensions of those who, in Sassoon's view, were responsible for the pointless deaths of millions” (Wikipedia). His poems contains a deep meaning and an important message, his poetry has a passionate expression of outrage at the horrors of war and feels pity for the young soldiers who sacrificed their life. He writes from experiences he witnessed and heard of. These are both examples of the type of poems that Sassoon wrote to showcase the difficult lives faced by British soldiers in the trenches of World War I. He felt he had to expose the ugly face of war to the naive civilians on the home front.…

    Racial discrimination happens to all of us. We don’t think that it happens in ‘our’ town but it does. We go “not me, I treat everyone as equal, I don’t discriminate against anyone”. Do you know racial discrimination is defined as ‘views, practices and actions reflecting the belief that humanity is divided into distinct biological groups called races and that members of these different races show attributes which can make them less desirable/more desirable/inferior or superior.…

    In Mary Rowlandson’s Captivity Narrative the Indians were pagans and she was a puritan. Sometimes the Indians were very rude to her and other times they were nicer.

    In our world today, we experience discrimination all around us, everywhere we go. There is racism, hatred, people being told that they are too young to do something that they want to do, people being discriminated against, and etc. It is very sad and depressing and that is not how we should live our lives. In fact, I have been a victim of discrimination. In 7th grade, I really wanted to learn how to solve a Rubik’s Cube. I went to the store to buy a Rubik’s Cube and when I went to go pay for it the cashier says to me, “You are too young to learn how to do that. You will never learn.” I replied, “Wanna bet?” This encouraged me to want to learn to figure it out even more. His discouragement/him discriminating against me, ended up encouraging me to want to learn how to solve it even more. This is the truth with everyone. Discrimination hurts and it is hard to deal with. From the book, The House on Mango Street and the short story, “By Any Other Name”, the girls in the stories are treated horribly, discriminated against, disrespected, and are victims of prejudice, because of this we learn that discrimination hurts and effects the way that we live our lives in a negative manner.…
