Social Injustices?

xcellerate · Mar 28, 2006

I have to write a paper on one of them that affects me, and i can't think of any.

I'm a white middle class guy, from a well-to-do family, heterosexual, healthy, no serious problems i could find. I can't find any 'injustices' in my life, and if they do exist then i haven't noticed them...which probably means i couldn't write a paper on them. It's suppose to be narrative, so it can't be how gays are treated, or why freedom of religion prevents mormons from having multiple wives...

are you short, smart, stupid, high, drunk, a geek, a gamer, etc

I'm sure you could find social injustices towards lots of stuff

i'm a lot of things, but nothing that really causes me any problems. I'm not 'too much' or 'too little' of anything like height, or color, or weight... I play video games...but nobody i know personally knows that, so it doesn't really effect me, and i couldn't really write a paper on that.

How the inequities of others (more specifically the less afluent) are causing a more hands on government which does anything but benefit the middle class.

can't set up a shop in your front lawn
can't legally have sex with a 15 yr old
can't skip high school class even if you'll ace the material
can't win any of the "diversity" or "multicultural" scholarships for college
can't play a card game with friends if it involves money
or you could just talk about any one of the dozens of victimless crimes

or because you are middle-class white, all the mexicans, asians, blacks and women have been promoted instead of you

Heres an injustice which affects many people. Say you lose your grandparents, and there is an inheritance to earn, from their savings or property. To obtain this inheritance you must pay a percentage of it in tax as inheritance tax. Most things are taxed you might say, but i'll tell you why this is a huge piss take.

Well...the savings from family are from members who have worked all their lives and paid their taxes through their life, the money stored away and in property is theirs which they used after tax, yet the government takes a percentage away. For £300,000 for example, they take £20,000. Why this is fair i do not know, its entirely the persons inheritance. Severely warped system if you ask me.

Pretend your Fliko.

I have plenty of Social Injustices... I'm tall, and no one seems to talk to me.

I have people who are like "ZOMG cAnt stop playing WoW!W!W!W!W". While I still get called the only nerd in class.

Just pretend your someone else.

The injustice there is the system, not the people.

True, but I didn't mean the people specifically. I was just re-sating what was said earlier in a clearer way.

He screws a god every time he masturbates

His hand is God? ...
I'm very confused (stfu) from this thread.

You could comment on the fact that life presents you with no challenges due to your middle class majority demographic. You've been robbed of the chance for greatness because you have no injustice to fight against. You're like a bear trapped in the cage of mediocrity, full of teen angst against the perfect world in which you were raised. A rebel without a cause.

If you look at all of the great and interesting people in the world, they all had ****ed up childhoods or opression. Genghis Khan murdered his own brother over a fish. That smart guy from Good Will hunting got beat as a kid. Eleanor Rosevelt was an orphan. Martin Luther King Jr had the oppression of his race to worry about. Jesus Christ got nailed to a cross. You're just gonna grow up to be middle management at some bank, that's social injustice.

How about you write a paper stating how it's a social injustice that you have to write this stupid paper in the first place, they'll LOVE that.

I can remember i did some english paper like that, wasn't directly cocky or anything but it was obvious where i was going, was well structured etc etc (the sort of things you should get marks for) but it got an E.

Getting a mark on school work is a social injustice, the way you have to jump through hoops and if you have a different way of working problems that's it, you're ****ed.

And btw, i do screw gods.......i have an orgy with them on sat evenings, female gods only of course.
