GENDER:
“I feel that society has come a long way in regards to gender, race and equality. However, there are still areas especially in the workplace where gender and race can create barriers. I work in an environment where high-level positions are male dominated, A female is constantly asked to prove themselves and perform menial duties. However, most males are promoted on the buddy system and are given the opportunity to prove themselves on the job.
-Samantha Brown
“Race is defiantly based on how much you try to use it as an excuse, being African American I don’t try to use the excuse "Im black so....." so on so on.....As far as gender goes women are a little more to a disadvantage because no matter how successful she is there is still that glass ceiling woman still face- in America. We all have equal opportunity but there is such thing as some people being born with certain disadvantages.” -Shanna-Kaye Kerr
I think everyone should be treated equal no matter the race or gender of a person. Trudian Gordon
“The word equality sums it all up for me. I don't see race although in our society it is sadly an issue, but I have chosen to appreciate it and all its diversity. As for gender, through my personal experiences, I have grown to feel equal to any man existing with exception of having male hormones and certain body parts. I come from an old culture where men and women are viewed differently and I choose to live my life as a woman with male characteristics embracing the theory "survival of the fittest". I am an equal human...that is how I feel about these topics.” Jacqueline Toro

Equality has still no been reached in terms of gender & race. We need to strive harder to reach for these goals.
True words. Diversity is the beauty of life. All different yet the same. Look at the birds and the plants, flowers etc. It's so sad that we are still fighting for equality b/c of this.
