Diversity
What do human beings need in order to live? An individual needs food, water and roof over their head but in order to obtain these specifics, one needs money.

Although, all individuals should be treated with equal respect regardless of their socio-economic status.

An individual doesn 't just become unfortunate, there is always a background story, which is why people should respect others. Richard LeMieux was a accomplished businessman who created his own publishing company but new businesses sometimes fall and his did. LeMieux was one day in a luxurious home and the next day homeless living in his car with his dog. LeMieux always gave to the homeless, he understood even though he was rich but once he turned poor there was no one to help him. In the short story "The Lady in Red" by Richard LeMieux a man said, "Get a Goddamned job, you bum!” (McWhorter 235) The man assumes that he is a bum, no one know remembers when LeMieux was a successful business man.

Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in which the retailer was charged with failing to accommodate a
22-year employee who suffers from cerebral palsy” (Greenwald).
Celebral Palsy is a disability due to damage to the brain. People who have disabilities have the power to speak up and should be respected because even though they have struggles, they keep trying and don 't give up on living. ”It is illegal to harass an applicant or employee because he has a disability, had a disability in the past, or is believed to have a physical or mental impairment that is not transitory (lasting or expected to last six months or less) and minor (even if he does not have such an impairment).”(Disability
Discrimination). Disability discrimination is a serious issue in America, which is why there are laws the prohibit it. Regardless of their disabilities, they still try and even though Walmart is not the best job to have, a job is a job. No matter what job and salary people have, they should still be respected.
Everyone believes that the unfortunate is the only ones who are not respected due to their socio-economic status but it also the rich who get disrespected also.

    Virtually every culture has some form of discrimination especially against those who are different. Discrimination still occurs around the world today. The wars in Iran, Iraq, and Partisan are perfect examples. Within every culture there are extremist groups that believe what they are doing is justified. Discrimination is defined as a negative behaviors or actions towards a group or individual. Most common types of discriminations are age, gender, race or ethnicity, disabilities, and religious beliefs. I focused on how different cultures treat individuals with disabilities and their families.

    Recognition is also extremely important, for if you are not recognised how can you ever be treated fairly? Some voices are heard, whilst others dismissed, someone rich famous and influential is more likely to heard than the common man. Nancy Frazer introduced ideas of being treated fairly, and also argues that this also has to be considered alongside redistribution. She agrees with Young on its not all about how much money you can get, or how much access to resources you can have, but its whether people are recognised to be equal, and treated with equal dignity and respect, I agree after all we are all human beings no one is better than anyone else in my eyes.…

    A person's best trait in my opinion is the kind of person they are on the inside and being genuinely good. If someone is in a higher class financially, but is not a good person I will not respect them. They are not considered high class in my eyes. I believe that I was taught with good values, and values are much more valuable than money. I believe that society would not agree with me because money has made people forget what's truly important in life, and that is love. High class is the love and kindness that we show others. Low class is anything that doesn't involve kindness in any sort of way. Most of the world…

    Individuals will be individuals. This includes people from any sort of social class, whether it be rich or por. People say that those that are wealthy tend to often be ridden with distaste and selfishness. However, it is not the money that has made them to be like that, it takes something much to define a person as who they are. There seems to be a disagreement similar to what came first chicken or egg; what came first the egotism or prosperity. Based on what I have researched and discussed, I can say confidently that money isn’t what makes affluent people more snobbish or selfish, but instead their background and raising; their wealth is only an coincidence.…
