The Present Builds Upon the Past :: history

The Present Builds Upon the PastThe world is far from perfect. However, through the years, it has improved in many ways. If I went back in era and changed the tiniest thing in history, it is possible for my life to be completely contrasting today. If you dont believe me, read on because Ive got hard proof. Its depressing to know in that location was a time when blacks and whites were seperated simply because of the color of their skin. We have moved forward, so stumbed backwards, provided slowly we started building and here we ar year 2001, where everyone, disrespect your race, have pertain rights. I realize pejudice is still alive today, besides you have to admit, things have improved. During the late 1800s Jim Crow laws or Black Codes were do offical. This law leg totallyy seperated blacks and whites in every day life. It was ridiculous, immature, and just politic out unreasonable. They used seperate public waiting rooms, restaurants, theaters, public parks, schools, ho spitals, just to be the basics. We have every single abolitionists, civil rights activists, and all the other freedom-fighters who stuck up for their rights. You wouldnt believe how much one person can accomplish. It wasnt too colossal ago when women were denied some of the rights that men had, such as voting. People believed that women were develop fit cooking, cleaning and taking care of the children at home, rather than press release out to earn money. They also believed that men had a higher efficacy of learning than women, which was why their education was limited. In order to get all the rights women have today, it took much time, trial, and most of all, courage. Many brave women organized protests demanding for equal rights. It was a slow process but every little effort added up, and today, women can even run for President of the United States. Who knows? Many if it werent for them, I wouldnt be writing this report, or be able to write at all. A more(prenominal) recent example in which we can more personally relate to, is the World Trade Center tragedy. The fact that we required a tradegy to bring America togeather is sad, but at least we are here for each other when we really need each other. I know living thirteen years isnt much at all, but in that time, I have never seen America more unite than in the last few weeks.
