I had to come of age last year when I found out my brother has high functioning autism. He was diagnosed many years ago but I found out last year. I realized the way that I treated him was not fair, or loyal. The way he reacted to certain sounds and senses, was not because he was odd or annoyed, but because of his disability. I had to step up my game and learn to treat him better.

I began to ask him politely to stop making humming or clicking noises, because those can be a little annoying. And I keep the windows closed in the car when we are on the highway, as well as turn the music down in the car, because he is sensitive to certain noises. There are so many things that I have done to treat my brother better, but that list would go on forever.

What makes the situation worse, was I had no idea. I’ve treated him terribly for years. His diagnosis has affected the way he socializes, his learning, and his tolerance for things. If I had known he had autism years before I found out, I would have treated him better, and have been more patient with him.

Although I found out about his diagnosis later than others, I still had the opportunity to change the way I act around him. I feel the knowing of his diagnosis has helped me realize that I can do better, and there is always room for improvement.

Black people were segregated and treated less than white people, they had to use worse quality things and go to segregated places. Black people were constantly bullied and treated less, for their color of skin. Black people had segregated transportation, restaurants, entertainment, etc. Black people did not get the good quality items that white people got.

In All We Have Left, Muslim people were thought as rude and the cause of the 9/11 attacks, Muslims were also thought as less, just like black people were. In All We Have Left, Jesse’s father continuously blamed Muslims for Travis’ death, and the destruction of the towers on 9/11. Muslim people were looked at and considered trouble, just like black people were.

Alia wanted to see her father in the twin towers because he works there. But then on the day of 9/11, planes crashed into both of the twin towers. So, Alia did not get to see her father, although, she did meet Travis, who helped her escape. Then, Travis died, and Alia made it out alive, along with her father, who also made it out alive. Jesse wanted to find out why her brother (Travis) was in the towers on 9/11. But then she got in a fight with her father, and her parents separated. So, Jesse had to find out why Travis was in the towers, with the help of her friends. Then, Jesse found out why he was in the towers that day, and she met Alia, the girl that was with Travis on 9/11.

For over 200 years before the Civil War, black people were enslaved, and treated unfairly. Black people had limited rights compared to white people.

“Segregation, separation of groups of people with differing characteristics, often taken to connote a condition of inequality.” (Encyclopædia Britannica) Black people did not get the same quality things that white people did. Their education was not as sophisticated as the education that white people got. They also had to sit in the back of the bus, go to segregated restaurants with less valuable foods, drink from different fountains, go to different movie theaters, etc. White people always got the better food, education, drinking water, and their overall quality of life was better than colored peoples.

segregation, separation of groups of people with differing characteristics, often taken to connote a condition of inequality. Racial segregation is one of many types of segregation, which can range from deliberate and systematic persecution through more subtle types of discrimination to self-imposed separation. Yet segregation can also be an outcome of circumstances that may not be morally troubling. Segregation, in and of itself, is not a normative concept, like injustice, but instead is a condition that, in order to ascribe causation, requires investigation of all its dimensions.

One example of extreme segregationist policies is the treatment of nonwhites in South Africa during the apartheid era. In this case, segregation was fully institutionalized in the state's legal system. Such segregation denies civil and political rights to the oppressed group or groups and drastically affects individuals' living conditions. Oppression of that sort has been experienced throughout history by women, members of castes, homosexuals, and assorted religious groups, among others, and it has frequently ignited ferocious struggles for equality, such as the woman suffrage movement in Great Britain in the 19th and 20th centuries and the American civil rights movement that came to national prominence in the 1950s. Even after such battles have been formally won, however, deep-rooted prejudices often remain intact and hinder substantive integration and equality. Such prejudices are habitually manifested, for example, in the denial of equal opportunities across educational and labour-market settings.

Segregation can also be voluntary or self-imposed. Within the Chicano civil rights movement in the United States during the 1960s, some rejected the idea that they would be able to equally flourish within the dominant white culture and campaigned for an independent state. Other groups (for example, the Amish in North America or certain immigrant groups across host societies), believing that their particular cultural practices are better preserved by remaining separate from mainstream society, tend to cluster geographically and residentially.

Conceptually, one must be careful not to necessarily equate segregation with inequality. Segregation is made up of two dimensions: vertical segregation and horizontal segregation. The phenomenon of occupational sex segregation can be used to explain each: pay differentials between men and women across occupations within a given labour force characterize vertical segregation, while horizontal segregation illustrates the separation of various individuals in terms of the concentration of the sexes in different types of occupations-but does not necessarily indicate discrimination or inequality. (Neither does it show the absence of discrimination or inequality.) Theoretically, then, it is possible for individuals to be completely segregated horizontally without any vertical dimension, or vice versa. A given labour market, however, is more often segregated to different extents along both vertical and horizontal lines.
