Gender Inequality In America

“I speak not for myself but those without voice...those who have fought for their rights.. their right to live in peace, their right to be treated with dignity, their right to equality of opportunity, their right to be educated,” said by Malala Yousafzai, a Pakistani activist. Just as Yousafzai, everyone has a dream or vision intending for America succeed in variety of ways. For me, America will succeed morally as a nation if it restores the true meaning of equality in religion, workforce, and education.

In America, citizens are enabled to pursue themselves to any religion they wish to, however the equality of the religions is not present. In this case, religions do not find other religions to have the same value. For example, most christians

As for all the other ethnicities, they are racially profiled in the education system. A student in Texas, Ahmed Mohamed, was arrested because he created a homemade clock, and the teachers felt unsafe due to his origin.

This unfair treatment was to be removed about 50 years ago, it is noticeable that the nation only resolved racial discrimination temporarily; therefore, it should be believed that the nation must reevaluate the meaning of, “all men are created
