The way I look at it these are rights are related to people who are part of the working class, make up the majority of the population, and are getting the shorter end of the stick. These rights are connected because these rights are human rights. What baffles me is the longevity of struggle. It seems unsensible and hard to grasp how individuals in society must fight for rights in general. If I had it my way, we’d spend a year maybe even two just going over all things that need to be reformed and simply implementing them. However, as I grow I see more and more how greed and the power of money destructs society. Not to say that if the issue of money were to be changed and people were able to just experience life and not suffer racism, sexism, homophobia, and economic struggle people would simply be good and live peacefully. It is the fact that they are experiencing this under a government that in my opinion enforces and champions it. If the government took control of these areas, focused on education and freedom there would be a lot more ease and peace in experiencing life. There was the issue where women were not getting paid the same as men whilst doing the same job. History shows progress but in the end, there is always a bit of unfairness left.

Yes Victoria,
It is a very unfair system, and it needs to be improved. The only way I see a change is for more of us to educate ourselves and become activists and fight for equal human rights.
