Examples Of Injustice In To Kill A Mockingbird

One-sided Views In the United States of America, men and women do not have fair rights and privileges. In many different scenarios, men and women have faced the unfairness that society brings. It has caused an uproar that still takes place today and needs fixing. Society has different views on each gender which causes all of the injustice that we see today. In Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird the society of Maycomb have their unfair views on women and men; which convey the injustice towards both genders. Men and women do not have equal rights and privileges in the United States of America today because of the pay gap in sports and the lack of job opportunities which To Kill a Mockingbird supports. Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird supports

In almost every single sport, men get paid more than women. Having one gender with a higher pay than another clearly shows unfairness towards women. Most of the unfairness towards women is because of society’s view on them. For instance, in basketball, “The average NBA player earned $7.9 million a year, according to RunRepeat, which crunched salaries from 2021-2022. Griner (WNBA Player), in contrast, has a base salary of $227,900, some 40 times lower” (Hope). This shows a huge inequality of rights and privileges towards women. All because Griner is a woman, her salary is 40 times less than your average mens NBA player. The WNBA shows another instance of injustice towards Griner by keeping her in custody of Russia. Recently, people have protested for the president to discuss with Russia to let her go. But, “Her identity as a black, queer woman in Russia renders her more vulnerable, and it’s hard to imagine that outcry for her safe return wouldn't be louder if she were, say, LeBron James or Steph Curry” (Hope). This shows the inequality in women’s sports. Men have it easier in sports because sports organizations pay them more and these organizations value men a lot more than

Unfortunately, this happens because of the view that society has on women and men. For the past generations, “Women are treated as an inferior creature” (Unknown), and society views men as machines to work hard and to provide for women. Thus, men have it easier to sustain a job to provide for their families. The position of jobs for women show another instance of women facing unfair rights. Not only have women faced obstacles in order to work for a high-paying job, but society views women as “casual workers.” Because of this, “governments do not invest in infrastructure and health care systems that benefit women” (Aita). The fact that governments will refuse to pay health care for women clearly shows the unfairness towards them. If women want to provide for their family by working in high paying jobs, it will be difficult. Not only will
