Currently in dispute, Instagram, a major photo-editing website, is under suspicion and is being sued. It's because they conversed that they would sell its user's photographs without compensation. As well, if someone was to delete their Instagram account, they would then forfeit their prior photos, which would allow Instagram to use it at their disposal. To most, this is just unacceptable. Instagram also stated, "If you don't like it, you can't do anything about it." In the past, settings and language kept their privacy of photographs, but once they deleted those rights, they lost their confidentiality.
Social media nowadays is a major factor to racism. When Barack Obama was elected, an outburst arose among the people because of his color. Once this outburst occurred, they went straight away to their social networking websites, and they openly voiced their reactions. Many riots occurred, and his posters for election were burned, as well. A lot of college students also protested because of the presidential outcome. According to the article, "People are more prepared to voice racist views online rather than in person."
A Muslim woman visited a bank in Tulsa, and since she was wearing a veil, they told her that she had to be escorted to a teller. To the woman, it felt as if she was a threat to them. To the bank, it's merely a policy. It isn't an act of religious discrimination. As well, this policy ensures that security cameras take pictures of all who come in and out to ensure protection and safety. However, others are saying that her veil doesn't hide her face, so the camera could take a good quality photo of her face. To most people, Muslims are like threats, and those who wear veils are culprits as well because of previous incidents. Nevertheless, it is still wrong to considered people as terrorists just because of past incidents. They may have been bad, but this event does not reflect the opinions or actions of all other Muslim people. As a result, the women are merely equal people who deserve their right to religious freedom.
On one court case, the Supreme Court is tackling a very tough court case. In this case, they are supposed to tackle the key voting rights provision. Although it will offer some progress in our society, they still find it useless. If the provision is changed, this will allow minorities to also count towards the presidential election and the election process. As of right now, it is expected that some progress or even the end of this case will happen in June 2013.
Just recently, same-sex marriage was allowed in most states, and the Supreme Court will soon tackle this topic in allowing it throughout the United States, which is now considered a "major event in American history." Right now, they are deciding whether or not it is constitutional or unconstitutional to ban same-sex marriage.
In the 1940s and 1950s, two women, Josephine Beckwith and DeLaris Johnson, broke the color and race barrier at local institutes, and they eventually helped lead other African American women into becoming civil rights activists. They engaged in segregation and racism, and their stories enriched us in many ways.
In 1962, the then governor of Mississippi Ross Barnett defied the Supreme Court in their decision of school integration. He would not allow James Meredith into the University of Mississippi. He said it was a state matter, and the Supreme Court should mind their own business.
Bus segregation was a controversial topic in the past. Rosa Parks was a woman who made this topic famous for what she did, and she eventually helped end racial segregation. In 1956, bus segregation was deemed unconstitutional. This opened up the path to finally gain equality, and we would soon enter a calm and peaceful period of prosperity.
Martin Luther King Jr. was the leader of the civil rights movement. Their basic question was as follows, "How is the struggle against the forces against injustice to be waged?" To King, the answer lied in the fact that the people should believe in the opposite of violence, which is nonviolence. Although nonviolence may sound weak against violence, it still resists. Nonviolence was made the most devastating enemy in the world when equality was allowed between all people thanks to King.
Lawyer E. Frederic Morrow was the first African American staff member in the White House. At first, he was nervous of his position, and President Eisenhower was reluctant to address or create policies pertaining to civil rights, which Morrow clearly noticed. Because he still remembers who he is and where he came from, he usually brings up discussions about civil rights for African Americans. However, they usually push his opinions aside. As a result, the public usually express disappointment directly at Morrow because the White House has not discussed any policies of civil rights with the public.
In 1963, John Lewis gave one of his most inspiring speeches about civil rights at the March of Washington. He proclaimed that the government was ignoring the topic of inequality. However, this speech still paled in comparison to King's speech, which was given that very same day. Everyone deserved the right to attain freedom and jobs. Segregation is evil, and for the first time in many years, the people have awaken to notice this malevolence.
