His/145 a Personal Overview

The latter half of the 20th century is filled with many historical events and lessons that in theory we can use in our lives today. From the rights for persons of color, equal treatment for women, the Vietnam war, freedom in the 70's and the information era of the 80's and 90's, we as a nation progressed and fell as one.

In the 1950's the constant block of rights for the typical black person and less than equal treatment for women was the topic of many conversations. Gone was the war of 1945 but the men were back and wanted those positions now held by the wives and daughters they left behind to fight for our rights. Blacks were also treated less than equally regardless of their contribution to the war. It was a messy situation.

As we progressed through this time we can look back and see that rights are still a problem in today's society. It is not an untrue statement to declare that white males still have more privilege than a black male with a higher education, white female with more experience and black females that could put our educations to shame. It is a sad and true fact held on for many suspected reasons and is becoming the biggest fear of human resource departments across the nation. To truly learn from the experience we as humans in whole must direct our focus and become less aware of color and gender and more on the goal. This too should transfer all over the world in hopes, someday.
