 * Why doesn't equality exist everywhere? **

 Plan- Survey our school to find out how much inequality there is in people's minds

Acknowledged factors include the labor market, innate ability, education, race, gender, culture, wealth condensation, development patterns and personal preference for work, leisure and risk. (http://www.reference.com/browse/acuracy)

Equality does not exist because many people such as half of our school, based upon our survey, have thought of people less because of their race or gender. So although in America, everyone should be treated "equal" they are thought of less because they are a women or are not white and hispanic or they have a poor background. History records important times in America where inequality was taken place. Large incidents such as the Holocaust, or gangs such as the KKK were very discriminant actions against different cultures and races. **Racism**- the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, esp. so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races. (Dictionary.com)

Other reasons for inequality is education. Our survey also states that people factor education into their judgement. It is quite obvious while going to Pascack Valley that the persons who are more educated than others, just don't seem to flow with the majority of the crowd. They are thought of "less" just because they are studious. I do not think that is fair but thats just the way it is.

Religion is one of the largest forms of inequality that exists in America. The Muslim community is being attacked as a whole, only because of the attacks on 9/11. However we do understand why they are being discriminated but we also feel that the entire Muslim community doesn't need to be blamed.

Inequality exists everywhere, It doesn't seem like we can change that. Those were the main reasons why people discriminate.
