new generation of hate |
Hate has been an issue countries have dealt with since the beginning of time. People hated one another because of land disputes or because they were not a member of the same clan. In todays society with the Internet and human cloning, people are finding new reasons to hate. People now use gender, disabilities and sexual preferences as excuses to hate their neighbor. These new issues, the next generation of hate, also lead to additional problems. Women are fighting for equal footing in the political realm. People with disabilities battle ignorance and misunderstanding. Homosexuals face imprisonment in some countries for consensual relationships where the punishments could lead to whippings. This is what the world now has to combat and work toward improvement. And solutions are being seen. Women are becoming leaders of their nations. More and more countries have added disability and sexual orientation to hate crime legislation. These are the new faces of hate. |
