Dr. Martin Luther King's Dream

Equality for all people of different races continues to be a big issue in American Society. Dr. Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech had a tremendous impact and encouraged many Americans to push for equal rights and Justice in America. Although many people believe that Dr. Martin Luther King’s dream is something that is possible and achievable in modern day society due to the recognition of discrimination and gradual acceptance of all races in society, I believe that the complete equality of all people will never be totally achieved because of human’s history of inequality, along with human’s natural selfish, and controlling trait.

History has always shown that equality and acceptance has been a continuing problem throughout history.

Martin Luther King’s dream cannot be achieved in society because of the selfish trait that is in human

People with different life styles, cultures, religions, and ideas of how the world should work. With a country full of different mindsets and ideas.

Different cultures have different standards of what is justified as equality. With every human being striving to be successful in all aspects of life. It is simple human nature to be competitive. With competition being a part of human nature it causes people of different races to belittle other races to build up their own self ego and reputation. Ultimately, with a society full of people with different ideals and culture backgrounds it will never be possible for society to achieve complete equality in all aspects of
