"When a person today has a really hard job to do it’s called a ARDUOUS task."
At any stage of our lives we are going to encounter what may seems to us as hard jobs, it might be in school, home or even in our career (place of work).
HARD JOBS are STRESSFUL and DEMANDING. One need to be ok mentally, emotionally and physically to be able to solve this tasks.

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.
