John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath is an American classic which utilizes many different kinds of philosophies. One such philosophy is proletarianism. Proletarianism is the description of the injustices of the laboring classes. Put simply, it is when one social class is pitted against another. There are many examples of this philosophy throughout Steinbeck’s novel.
The levelers of court have a sense of power that gives citizens a feeling of intimidation. Harper Lee, the author of To Kill a Mockingbird, gives us the feeling of unfairness and how people are treated by the way they look. In court people are treated unfairly and not all men are created equal. Throughout time there have been cases where people were accused of crime because of how they look. In the 1930s the case with the Scottsboro Boys was a case some say was unfair.
Racial Injustices Racism in the 1930’s served as an injustice to blacks that were convicted of crimes. In the time periods of the book To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, and The Scottsboro Boys trial, discrimination in Alabama was atrocious, and racial injustice was seen throughout this time period. The Scottsboro trial shows how discrimination played a large role in Alabama during the 1930’s. This influenced Harper Lee’s to write about the Tom Robinson case. In many ways, the Scottsboro trials were more similar to the Tom Robinson case, but at some points had differences.
What can we do about this injustice happening in our courtrooms? What can we do to fix our problems in our justice system? Everywhere, anywhere people experience injustice, on the streets, in school, in businesses, and in our time we shouldn't be doing this, especially not in our courtrooms where we need the most justice possible. Tom Robinson's story in To Kill A Mockingbird and other texts reveal that the justice system loses credibility when those in power are biased or prejudiced against certain people.

This urgency is reflected in the need for a press that can quickly bring attention to pressing concerns without fear of censorship or punishment from institutions of power that might prefer for such issues to stay buried. After reading “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” King, it’s prominent how important press freedom is. It is the medium that spreads such vital information, informs the public, and advances the conversation on liberties for citizens. King’s capacity to spread his message outside of his detention cell served as evidence of the potency of the written word and the critical function of an unrestricted press. Conversely, in “Religious Freedom in the United States”, Rogers states that religious freedom is also crucial because it fosters unity and variety by enabling people and organizations to practice their religion freely from the intrusion of the state.

Normally, teachers and adults expect to hold the children’s hands through this foreign concept of racism and injustice, and explain the motives behind the jury’s reason, including systematic oppression and the like. However, this simply does not represent today’s children and adolescents. Modern day teenagers are exposed to injustices like Tom’s frequently:
