Now days the world changes so fast and rules of accepting things
have changed. Cultures, costumes, and laws too have changed. There are things
that were unacceptable and became acceptable nowadays. Outrages are examples of
that. There are things are outrages in the past, but now they consider
outrages. Slavery, Drugs, and women's right to work are examples of outrages
both in the past and the present.
Slavery
Slavery nowadays is against the law and considers a crime
and an outrage. Back in the history, in many civilizations and societies
slavery was a normal thing. However, now all the countries outlaw slavery and
it is illegal and against human right. There are many types of slavery like:
chattel slavery, forced marriage, and child labor. Unfortunately, even slavery
is now illegal, but one of the modern-day outrages is child. Many governments
try to fight child labor. Poverty is the main reason for child labor and there
is shocking number all over of the world about child labor. For example, Kevin Watkins
2012 in his article “Where's the global outrage over this modern-day slavery?”
states that 150 to 170 million will be on child labor in 2020. Child labor
prevents the children from the most basic right which is education.
Woman right to work
Woman in the past has no right to work. The typical image
was they just stay at home and be a mother, but with the history many woman
right movements and educated woman started to fight for their rights. Now the women
have the right to work and have equal right with men. It is clearly that women
right to work was an outrage and a sanction, but now the women have the right
to work in almost all kind of fields. However,
in some cultures and countries women still struggle to have equal right to work
with men or work in other fields. In some developing countries costumes and traditions
prevent women to work in some fields like politics or higher ranks in the government.
Homosexuality
Homosexuality is most debatable issue in recently. Back in
the history homosexuality is an outrage and there were punishment for it. Basically
most of the societies are controlled by religion and costumes and norms which
see homosexuality as a bad thing. However, homosexual now is legal in most of
the countries and it became a normal thing to see relationships and marriages
between homosexual. For example, California State legalized same sex marriage
recently. Homosexuality now is acceptable and became a legal in most of the
countries around the world.
