Royales: people who were born with a silver spoon in there mouth and almost didn't have to work for anything.

Middle class: Hard working men and women who work for the Royales, to receive payment for service.

Commoners: people who are trying to get by in life, they don't have much. But manage to succeed in taking care of themselves.  ]]> 2018-10-16 13:48:37 UTC https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293332397 Caroline R https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293332976 I agree. In reality, everyone is equal. It is the mindset of humans that makes it unequal. ]]> 2018-10-16 13:49:25 UTC https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293332976 Caroline R https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293333600 I disagree. As romantic and idealistic as it would be, realistically there always has to be an underdog or a minority. If everyone is "rich" then nobody is rich.]]> 2018-10-16 13:50:17 UTC https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293333600 Caroline R https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293334477 I agree. If everyone were equal, they would have the same jobs, belongings, and futures. No one would have a chance to be unique or let their skills shine.]]> 2018-10-16 13:51:26 UTC https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293334477 Joshua H https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293334657 if everyone was equal people who did something wrong no one will care cause they are free]]> 2018-10-16 13:51:38 UTC https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293334657 Caroline R https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293335374 I agree. If everyone were equal, they'd have the same job. They wouldn't be able to develop unique skills or talents. Everyone would be the same.]]> 2018-10-16 13:52:33 UTC https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293335374 Caroline R https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293336154 I disagree. Some people are "unequal" because of a disability. If you limit other's "strengths", such as sight, hearing, or mobility, people would be "equal" but also vegetables.]]> 2018-10-16 13:53:33 UTC https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293336154 Karoline Davis https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293336529 If everyone were equal, people wouldn't have to work harder than "average people" to get a not so average job. That would then take away from the people that work super hard to get to where they are now in life, when a lazy person was entitled to it also.

"What is right" is not always best for the greater good. It depends on one's personal views. It could be what is best for one person, but seriously injures the majority.]]> 2018-10-16 13:55:02 UTC https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293337364 Caroline R https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293338248 I agree. Even if the government is corrupt and needs change, the sudden loss of laws and oversight will almost always result in a period of social and political chaos.]]> 2018-10-16 13:56:01 UTC https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293338248 Caroline R https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293338994 I do not agree or disagree. The basis of government formed to protect its citizens, but while some do continue to achieve this, many hurt their citizens more than they protect them.]]> 2018-10-16 13:56:48 UTC https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293338994 :) https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293339213 I disagree because not everyone are given the Same opportunities

Governments may hide sensitive information, perhaps about a threat or another country "snubbing" them. This could cause uneducated people to react without thinking, potentially starting an avoidable war.]]> 2018-10-16 13:57:50 UTC https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293339837 Caroline R https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293340859 I disagree. Even if you are right, you should always consider what others have to say. They may be wrong, but they provide another viewpoint on the subject.]]> 2018-10-16 13:59:03 UTC https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293340859 Seth Alpha https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293341573 It depends. Systemically, yes, everyone is equal in America. Hands down.There are no laws that are afforded to men that women do not have. There are no laws provided to Caucasians that Hispanics do not have. Socially however, of course not everybody is equal. No matter what ethnicity, gender, etc. there will always be somebody who fights against you.]]> 2018-10-16 13:59:55 UTC https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293341573 Iffy https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293342016 That's a debatable subject, I don't have any more words for that. because it can get contriversale.]]> 2018-10-16 14:00:29 UTC https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293342016 Seth Alpha https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293347036 Everyone in the world should not just be equal. People should not be given handouts for nothing. I you are able to work for what you have you deserve it. People such as Bill Gates worked hard to get to where he is, everyone being equal would mean that even the people who work hard are still equal to those who do nothing. Systemically however, I do believe that everybody should have equal opportunity.]]> 2018-10-16 14:07:20 UTC https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293347036 Seth Alpha https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293356413 I definitely believe that if everyone were to be equal, everyone would be average. The way the US is set up, for the most part, you have to work to get what you want. The government will not just give you loads of money so that you are equal with everyone else. If you want to make it somewhere in life, you can't depend on handouts. You have to accomplish it yourself.]]> 2018-10-16 14:18:08 UTC https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293356413 Autumn W. I totally disagree... Think about it...There was a time when women were not as equal as men... But nowadays, women can do everything a man can do. But that doesn't mean we aren't different. Everyone is unique in their own ways. Just because we are all equal doesn't mean that we can't be different. https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293385145 2018-10-16 14:53:11 UTC https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293385145 Grace Limburg https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293393323 I disagree. People work harder than others that's why they have more advantages than others.]]> 2018-10-16 15:03:01 UTC https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293393323 I disagree. While I do believe people should all have equal opportunities that doesn't mean that they are all equal. There are those who work hard to get what they want and others who just demand it while not doing anything to deserve it. https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293459552 -Katherine S.

However, society and individual people push others down and make some feel as if no one is equal. Americans are equal legally, just not always socially. ]]> 2018-10-16 17:12:06 UTC https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293484206 In America, everyone is equal https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293507002 I disagree with this statement because America often says that it is equal but history has shown that not only is it not equal it is not just. 

]]> 2018-10-16 17:44:18 UTC https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293507002 Everyone in America is equal, we all are given the same chances if you just take the initiative. People are always saying that not everyone is given the same chances but those are the people that just expect to be handed everything. The people that are given chances to succeed are people who have worked hard for that chance. https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293838103 2018-10-17 13:38:35 UTC https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293838103 I agree https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293861653 I agree because people need to teach their fellow people with respect and acceptance. Everyone deserves to walk with everyone else.]]> 2018-10-17 14:11:03 UTC https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293861653 https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293864924 Yes, and also it would that bullying would come to an end. Everyone needs to be treated with some decency.]]> 2018-10-17 14:15:57 UTC https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293864924 Christyna Schuppe https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293865892 I disagree completely. Not everyone in America is equal. Despite the fact that we are all equal in human value many have been given opportunities and luxuries that far exceed the standards and situations of the lives of our brothers. To say that a mentally disabled child, a chronically I'll child, and a child with a perfect bill of health will have equal opportunities in life is unreasonable and unfair. It is an unfortunate reality that, despite our equal human value, not every American is equal. ]]> 2018-10-17 14:17:19 UTC https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293865892 https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293868319 I agree, everyone is equal, but our society tells us that you need to be or do something to be accepted in the world. But if that changes, people would be a lot different towards each other.]]> 2018-10-17 14:21:12 UTC https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293868319 https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293871415 Not necessarily, anyone could do anything different. We would just need to respect others.]]> 2018-10-17 14:25:19 UTC https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293871415 I disagree https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293875673  Formal equality of opportunity requires that positions and posts that confer superior advantages should be open to all applicants. Applications are assessed on their merits, and the applicant deemed most qualified according to appropriate criteria is offered the position. ]]> 2018-10-17 14:31:00 UTC https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293875673 I agree https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293880606  If you’re caught doing something wrong or make a misstep--- try to wriggle out of it and hope for the best. Most average Americans see right through this nonsense. What’s wrong with admitting you made a mistake? What’s right about acknowledging when you’re wrong? ]]> 2018-10-17 14:37:55 UTC https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293880606 I agree https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293881653 It can be dangerous, but if the government revolts and tries to over-throw us, we citizens can revolt against them if they issue something that no one agrees with. But then again, it could start a war.]]> 2018-10-17 14:39:18 UTC https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293881653 I have no idea what to say but WoW https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293885261 2018-10-17 14:44:49 UTC https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/293885261 Brittany https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/294140843 I disagree because there are people on the side of the road and sometimes its because they choose the wrong path. Sometimes its not their fault. For example there are people that cant get jobs so they cant provide for themselves, also there are situations were people grow up in a bad home.]]> 2018-10-18 00:20:14 UTC https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/294140843 https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/294142679 I believe you get what you give. If you work for something you should get it. The people that sit at home getting food stamps that are young and able should be out working and not making other people work and pay for them. I do understand people go through hard times and everything but I dont think you should get something you dont really need. ]]> 2018-10-18 00:25:38 UTC https://padlet.com/GCAAmLit/9qbp2nst8q28/wish/294142679 I agree.
