Discrimination In Australia

Both Australia and the United States have experienced difficulties relating to racial equality over the years. While both countries have demonstrated a commitment to addressing these racial equality issues, Australia’s commitment has been stronger. This is proved by Australia’s Racial Discrimination Act of 1975, which prohibits “any act involving a distinction, exclusion, restriction or preference based on race, colour, descent or national or ethnical origin which has the purpose of effect of nullifying or impairing the recognition, enjoyment or exercise, on an equal footing, of any human right or fundamental freedom”.

The progressive movement would not have been possible with these key people and their inspirational and moral values. Progressives that worked in these faith-based traditions used their religious morals to change society during industrialization and helped expose how workers were exploited to find ways to improve life.

The article selected for the assignment is entitled “Racial Discrimination in Australia.” The article, authored by Jens Korff, provides a convincing account of how the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders have experienced intolerance and discriminatory treatment for centuries.

The faint buzzing of an old street light in the distance was the only sound that filled the air. The loud dogs that paced yellow lawns and fenced in porches were deep asleep. It was as melancholy as it could get. My hand trembled, I looked down at the paper weapon clasped between my fingers. I lifted my hand and pressed the cold cigarette to my chapped lips, long ago accepting the fact that I 'd never remember the taste of his mouth, in the same way I didn 't remember the last time my life wasn 't anything more than a huge fucking shit show.

Elie Wiesel said in his Nobel Prize Acceptance Speech, “We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.” Discrimination happens in three different forms: bystander, perpetrator, and victim. Every single individual is guilty of judging another person for being themselves.

John Winthrop talks about how everybody in the community is equal no matter how rich or poor they are. “For hence it appears plainly that no man is made more honorable than another or more wealthy, etc., out of any particular and singular respect to himself, but for the glory of his Creator and the common good of the creature, man”. This particular community believes in God on a higher level. People in the community believe that you should show respect at all time and you should love everyone as an equal. “The law of grace or the Gospel hath some difference from the former, as in these respects: First, the law of nature was given to man in the estate of innocency; this of the Gospel in the estate of regeneracy”.
