Many people think that it becomes much harder to succeed in these days than any other times because of the changing society at unprecedented speeds and keen competition. However I disagree with the statement above in that for the following reasons; obstacle of status and racial discrimination.
To begin with, in the past, there was a huge obstacle named as the a status. In that time, people of low class people are were not able to even choose the jobs they like to do and could can not help but to just follow thier fate ,and the obilgation depended on their positions. Since most prestiged people such as the aristocratic class, the rich and so on wanted to keep their existing power, they unfairly prevented people in low social level from being success within the society . Therefore, doors open toward the lower class people were extreamly a handful ,and many people in the past even could not cannot get a chance to try to be better social status.
Not only the status inhibited people to do what they want, but also racial discrimination have contributed to difficulties that people have encountered in the past. While many movements against racism are prevalent and become commom sence of people in these days as the paradigm changed, in the past, the racial discrimination was very commom all over the world. The prime example is an African-American minister named as Martin Luter King, Jr.
We can say that such African-Americans advancing into society and gaining much prestige could not have been possible without his efforts to fight against to injustice. In other words, African-Americans were surpressed their desires to take active part in the society which they live in by with white people.
To be succeed is always hard for people and It might be rather up to how much a person struggles to be successful and what talents he or she has. Personally, I believe the current society opens much more doors for people as such obstacles is becoming to fade out. (마지막 문장은 무슨말인지..) |
