Confronting old challenges

IT’S the 21st century, and there are many situations where humanity has thrived positively.

In many aspects, we are more advanced than we ever have been. Technology is constantly becoming better, but there are cases, such as equality among people, where we are still stuck in old mindsets.

In the 19 and 20th century, women in most countries were given the right to vote. In 1955, Martin Luther King led the Montgomery bus boycott to fight for the rights of black people in USA. Then why are there still differences in how people are being treated?

Nowadays, the fight for equality continues. Women, such as YouTube sensation IISuperwomanII, aka Lilly Singh, lead protests for female equality, including #girllove. Hopefully, something will change soon.
