More Just Societies

            
             Let's take a trip back in time into the 1960's. African Americans were facing very harsh discrimination against them by white Americans. African Americans faced many hardships and were mistreated very poorly. Even earlier in history look at Native Americans. The "White Men" came onto their land and territory and mistreated and basically took over their land. Well, times have changed a lot since those days, and Americans are trying to give back to the Native Americans and African Americans were given rights as individuals and are not treated like they are not human anymore. But humans as a society still have much to work on.
             The United States has much to work on within our own society. There is so much mistreatment such as racism, sexism, and even ageism. Individuals look at the color of one's skin, their sex, and even their age before they even look at the person and already begin to judge that individual. So as a society we need to look past the persons outside and see the person for who they are and what they believe in. Society has been changing for the better because there was a time when one could not get a job just because of the color of their skin, of whether or not they were male or female. Society does still a little judging of one's skin color and by their sex, but I believe society will never be able to completely look past certain things. As a society we just need to minimize how much we judge and look upon one another. .
             There are a few possible ways to reduce discrimination within our society today. The most affective way to reduce discrimination is to make it illegal. This method is not too logical because there is no way to affectively enforce this. People need to just keep in mind what American stands for, which is "freedom". There are methods currently in place trying to make the U.S. a more just society. One of these methods is to have quotas that companies or universities much meet.
