PARITY FOR EQUAL OPPORTUNITY

             
   Often people say that we are all equal, may it be rich, poor, young or old. Everybody in this earth is born without any clothes on, we were all born of the same birth and would also die the same death.

                In our society nowadays could we tell that there is equality and fairness? We could hardly tell. There is discrimination here, there and everywhere.  Whether it be gender, age, status or what, we can never avoid to be unfair. Even in different places there really is inequality, at home, at school at the market and even at the pedestals.

                Let’s return back to the time long ago, before women were discriminated. Women were not permitted to study, they stay at home and just do the household chores. They are subjected to what men tell them. They must obey them because they were afraid of men back then. It’s good that today at our times there is what we call gender equality and gender awareness. Now, women are free, nobody holds them by the neck and they can fly as high an eagle could even soar.

                In the financial status, this factor is where discrimination invades. Rich people look at poor people lower as them. They hurt their feelings and show them that they are much higher than the poor and brags on their wealth! They look at the poor people that they could just step on them and step on their rights. We are all people! We were created by God equally! From dust we were all made and to dust we all will also return! Look at our justice system, the rich people could just buy justice even if they were the one who did the crime. This must not prevail in our society because it devours our country.

                In order to build a great, just, fair and humane society, it is of utmost importance to arouse people to join the struggle that will ensure equal rights, and equal opportunities. Genuine equality between all people must be realized in the process of a just, equal and humane transformation of our society as a whole. As it is said in Galatians 3:28,  “There is not a male and female, for you are all one in Jesus Christ. Let us follow the example of God, to be perfectly fair and just at all times.
