Inequality for all!

 I think it is extremely important for students to understand the concept of egalitarianism. In class, we defined egalitarianism as the belief in human equality; a philosophy that promotes for the removal of any inequality among people. A complete understanding of this concept was vital to this class  because many of the pieces that we read  depicted  examples of inequality and oppression.  This lecture taught me that egalitarianism can never be achieved. It is a comforting theory, however pieces like The Storm, Antigone, A Street Car Named Desire, White Woman of Color, etc.  proved that society will never be equal. Yes, we are continuously making strives to achieve equality, but the fact that there is a campaign reminding people that black lives matter shows how far we are from it.
