Discrimination.

Discrimination can take form in many different aspects of people’s lives. It can concern race, gender, sexuality and disability to name but a few. The question is why does it happen? Unfortunately certain people believe that it is ok to discriminative just because they don’t agree with someone’s race for example.

Up until 1928, women in the UK were unable to vote and had to fight for their rights, which was gained by propaganda and sometimes extreme acts, which garnered a great deal of attention. A timeline of women gaining their rights all over the world can be seen here: http://womenshistory.about.com/od/suffrage/a/intl_timeline.htm

There are also instances where people are discriminated against due to the colour of their skin. In my opinion, this is a ridiculous thing. Just because someone is of different ethnicity doesn’t make them any less of a person. Perhaps this view is due to my upbringing, however I think people should be more educated than to discriminate against different races, because at the end of the day we are all people.

Unfortunately discrimination exists all over the world and hopefully in the future we will see an end to this travesty and people will becoming more accepting. I stand firm with the belief of live and let live, it's a shame so many others don't follow suit.
