I tried looking up on the internet but it didn’t work
Jefferson wrote all men are equal which meant that people were born with some inalienable rights like right to live free without being under the control of others.
Although in reality, Thomas Jefferson had many slaves under his control and he had progeny from one of his slaves. That statement proclaimed that every individual has to be included regardless of race, religion or gender.
But when he wrote ‘All men are equal”, he may have not considered women and slaves. It may sound hypocritical but it has taken more than a century to really internalize the meaning of equality.
1. Friends can easily be turned against each other due to political opinion because instead of looking at it and trying to understand each other’s perspectives, they may get caught up in who’s right and who’s wrong and arguments like this can end a friendship.
2. it is important to understand people who think different then you because they may be looking at it from a perspective you have never looked at it from before and you may gain information from their perspective that can change your point of view, or make your opinion even stronger.
I hope this helped :)
