7587 Words31 Pages

INTRODUCTION: From the very inception of mankind there has been a division between the strong and the weak, the powerful and the helpless, the rich and the poor. Men purloined other men and became high and mighty. It is said that human beings are the best and the most beautiful creation of God because they have the ability to reason and thus they know what is good and what is bad. If that is so then why there is no equality among men? The term “beautiful” is attributed to a creation only when it is without any flaw. No doubt that the human brain is a beautiful creation because it has led to some great discoveries and inventions which has defined our life and surroundings. But at the same time we are also comprised of hatred, envy and greed …show more content…

To realize these objectives it was necessary during those times to settle all the Tibetan refugees into cohesive homogenous society and setting up of separate schools for refugee children with their own curriculum. With these thought in mind, the Dalai Lama re-established his government in exile to meet both the immediate and long term needs of Tibetan people. The Dalai Lama approached the then Prime Minister of India Mr. Nehru for his assistance in the permanent rehabilitation of the refugees. Pt Nehru accepted and wrote to the government of Indian states, requesting them to make land available to refugees. Mysore state (presently Karnataka) was the first to accept 3,000 Tibetan refugees and offered 1500 hectares of uninhabited jungle land on lease to Tibetan, thus beginning the first Tibetan settlement in exile in a place called Bylakuppe in 1960. Soon after, in 1962 second and third settlements were constructed in Arunachal Pradesh. Gradually settlements started in many different parts of India, mostly in south India. Initially groups of five persons were allotted two and a half hectare of land for building house and doing agriculture. Since number of refugees coming into exile was increasing and existing settlements were packed already. Agro- Industrial based settlements were created to accommodate the remaining refugees in India. In These settlements, Tibetan refugees partly relied on agriculture and partly on industrial activities. Unfortunately later on some of the settlements failed, largely due to lack of technical knowledge, poor management and

    God made everyone equal because not one person is better than another. “ in the Time of the Butterflies” the Mirabal sisters helped others see how women were invisible to society and treated unequally in the world. ‘From that time down to the present, it is clear that the changes our country has gone through have not been a product of the actions of men alone, but most of the leading female figures who acted alongside them are nearly faceless women.” Minou Mirabal . This quote alone shows that women have always helped men get the world to how it is today, but the women have never been given credit for what they have done for helping men.

    As a student in school, Equality discovered he was smarter than everyone else. He tried to hide this superior intelligence, but did not succeed. Although Equality had no control over how is mind functioned and how he looked, these actions were still considered transgressions, or sins. There are many other reasons the council had for assigning Equality such a menial job. The leaders knew that Equality’s great intellect would lead to advancements in technology that were part of the “Unmentionable Times”, which they were not prepared for.

    Where ignorance is bliss, ‘tis folly to be wise. In a society that functions by this proverb, wisdom is hard to come by. However, for a being longing for this wisdom, with a natural urge of curiosity, this “bliss” is hell. Equality, a being longing for the validation of his differences in a society of group mentality, is spare of individual morality. He accepts the ignorance of total equality that is forced on him, but is contrastingly different from the image of a part of a communal whole.

  • All Men Are Created Equal By Milton Friedman Analysis

    1381 Words  | 6 Pages

    Friedman analyses and concludes that in his article, the equality is “endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights” (266). The reason why all persons are created equal is that God created us and gave us intrinsic value that we speak of in terms of “right” language. For me, I agree with Friedman’s point that he mentions “All men are created equal”, but not “Equality before God” because I am not a Christian. We are all people that have the same human characters, which means we have the same privilege and rights as humans. No matter what religions we are, we still have the same basic rights and opportunities; no matter what status we are since we were born, it happens before the premise of justice, which is most

  • Gender Inequality In Salvage The Bones

    2437 Words  | 10 Pages

    In the developing western world, women have always been considered the weak link of the society. For centuries they have been treated as less intelligent and less important than men, and therefore, subordinate to men. Since, as a general rule, men are physically stronger than women are, such domination wasn’t hard to achieve. For hundreds of years, this mindset has impacted humanity’s understanding of equality and has left its mark on the way our society functions to this day. For the western world over the past few hundred years, and sadly to this day still having its impact on the general public, white males have been considered the most righteous, intelligent, moral, and thus, supreme to the rest of society.
