Introduction

• US citizens view values of equality and liberty
  differently.
• Every person has a different view of them.
• In the entire history of man, different
  circumstances have weakened and strengthened
  these values.
• As such, the values have not always been pursued
  actively as they are spoken of.

3
Equality

• People have practiced equality fully.
• Women, homosexuals, African Americans, homeless
  and elderly exist.
• They have not been given equal rights and
  opportunities (White 98).
• These are denied the opportunity to practice
  legal rights.
• Others do so without probation or judgments of
  any kind.
• These groups are discriminated against.

4

• In terms of racism, organizations perpetuate the
  unspoken practices .
• They entail hiring Americans of the Anglo Saxon
  origin only.
• Gender discrimination, and refusing to consider
  the opinions of female workers exist.
• There are also organizations that force the
  elderly employees.
• This is to include early retirement in the
  contracts that they sign.

Liberty

• Liberty refers to freedom that let people do what
  they prefer and the way they want.
• However, it has to be restrained at some levels.
• This is to ensure the stability of the society.
• Freedom of speech is limited by certain things.
• The government does to the people as a way of
  ensuring civil liberty.
• These include forcing people to practice and
  confess a specific religion.

6

• The government and elites allow the citizens and
  public sufficient time to express their thoughts.
• However, it does not allow them to take actions
  about them.
• If they do so they are called revolutionists or
  rebels.
• It acts as an action that is taken on the
  civilians.
• A centralized society is being created by
  capitalism at a very fast rate.
• The ideology is turning humans into laborers who
  work for a capitalist machine.
