Why should all Americans have equal rights and opportunities?

History
1 answer:
lidiya [134]3 years ago
5 0

People need to believe they have equal social and political rights, else there would be mass protests, revolutions and anarchy. Whether they actually exist in real life is irrelevant here, only the belief matters.

The primary difference in the social structures of humans and animals is the forced imposition of order in human society, leading to a more 'collective' society, instead of the usual 'survival of the fittest/law of the jungle' structure.  

And the concept of equal rights is necessary to achieve this imposition of order.

In my opinion, a human society following 'law of the jungle' would be unsustainable, simply because humans as a species are too weak to survive as individuals. The greatest strength of our species is our mental faculty. This leads to the sum of the parts being greater than the whole. As individuals though, we would fail to harness this strength.

Therefore, equal rights do offer us an evolutionary advantage, since they allow us to cluster together, and grow as a population, which is the only way for us to survive.

How was the Harlem Renaissance indicative of the Age of Anxiety?
Sergio039 [100]

The Harlem Renaissance started in the late 1910s and went through the 1930s. Its causes are all localized in the many transformations America was going through the 1920s.

The age of anxiety was characterized by growing fundamentalism, blatant racism with the rebirth of the Ku Klux Klan and the mob attacks on black veterans of World War I known as the Red Summer, nativism, hatred of immigrants, hatred of non-Catholics, anti-communism that is known as the First Red Scare caused by the October Revolution (1917) in Russia, hatred for anything that looked like leftism and defense of worker's rights.  

Many of these things were caused by and/or impacted by growing industrialization, consumer culture, government's encouragement of business. It was during this time that the Great Migration started: the event when millions of African Americans migrated towards the North to cities like New York, Detroit, Chicago, and Philadelphia.

All this together created a scenario of growing mass culture that generated more space, opportunities, and the need for black people to finally express themselves in art. It was in the works of the Harlem Renaissance that black authors defied racism and the lynchings they were suffering in the sphere of popular culture.
