21st Century Outrages

By: Doha Shaabien

The 21^st century: too many outrages are remaining exist and became very acceptable in our world. Discrimination based on race, color or religion is very common in many societies, even in the first world countries. This obvious example of discrimination is happening very often; some people who have high qualities can’t take same chances in jobs as others just because they are different. And sometimes, they can be under suspicion based on their race or color. Those differences can strength the feeling of inequality between people and this feeling can make unhealthy society.  

Human trafficking also is one of the acceptable outrages before and now in the current time. Human trafficking is exploiting people (probably poor people or kids) sexually, making them slaves, or removing their body organs and sell it. They exploit them to receive money or benefits from them. In other words, they USE them to make business. They ignored their humanity and their rights to live normal life just because they are in need. A lot of innocent people in poor countries are victims of human trafficking. Even though, this work is prohibited considered as a crime and many organizations and institutions are established to fight this crime, it still exist and it is not easy to protect those victims.  

The third outrage countries are involved and responsible for it. Using weapons against other countries or against citizen when governments became crazy of killing and trying to approve that they still strong, is the worst outrage ever because it harms the human rights to live in peace and safe in their countries. Moreover, citizens don’t have any guilt to be involved in wars consequences between counties. Since those weapons are causing many kinds of cancers and genetic defects, chemical or nuclear weapons effects can be very harmful for many generations after wars. Like what happened in Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Fallujah in Iraq, Many babies were born with cancers and abnormal bodies because of the nuclear radiations and chemicals that caused genetic defects. In place of living in fear of death and lose home, family, health and future.
