Why should all Americans have equal rights and opportunities?

History

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.

Describe how Iguazu Falls reflect God’s glory.
Katen [24]

Answer:

hope you like it

Explanation:

The force of Iguazu Falls is omnipresent. It’s in the air, misty air that drenches my face, my hair, my clothes. It’s in the sound, the thundering drum roll of falling water that blocks out nearly all else. And of course it’s in the momentous curtains of water that bucket down over rocky edges, full speed ahead, forming a swift river that ribbons onward and leaps into the vast canyon below.

The power of Iguazu Falls is all encompassing. I feel this deeply standing on a concrete platform in Brazil surrounded by dozens of falls. Across the canyon ancient and mystic landscapes sit surrounded by thick mist.

Magic of Iguazu

To call Iguazu Falls the best waterfall in the world is to do it injustice. It’s not merely a waterfall but a system of waterfalls, the largest in the world with more than 275 separate falls in total that span the border of Argentina and Brazil.

Iguazu

“How can you be here and not know there is a greater power in the universe,” I ask aloud.

I am not alone. I am brushed up against a railing staring down over a cascade next to Luam, a Brazilian girl with bright red lips and a shaved head. Her one earing – a feather – dances violently, moved by the power of the falls.

 

I sat next to Luam on the bus that takes visitors from the park’s entrance to the start of the falls and I’ve been trailing her ever since as we’ve hiked through the park separately, inevitably meeting at the lookout points and stops along the path.

Iguazu Falls

We are at the end of a platform, the closest visitors can get to the falls on foot (to get closer you’d have to go by boat), and here at this railing we meet again.

“I know,” she responds, slow and pensive. “Being here I feel so much. I don’t even have words. I am so moved.”
