Equal Rights, Equal Opportunities

Every person came out from his/ her mother's womb. Rich or poor, they have the same origin. Originally, every person is treated equally and fairly. But why is it that the time we come out from that womb, we experience inequality? One big problem and one big reason is what we call Discrimination. Discrimination is the prejudicial or distinguishing treatment of an individual based on their actual or perceived membership on a certain group or category, such as their race, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, national origin, or religion. This could be the restricting a member or two of a group the privileges and opportunities that are available to others. Laws involving discrimination exist in many countries. As a young citizen, I do not actually know the reason behind it in fact, in my younger years, I just ignore it.
Lets get into a simpler example before we get to that. Have you ever realized that discrimination could also occur in small groups like schools? Even your family. There could also be a discrimination. In school, it is observed that honor students are given more attention than regular students. Also rich students, especially in private schools, they are given more attention. As simple as that, we can call it discrimination. We can say that there is no discrimination if there is equality, if everyone gets the same treatment, opportunities, etc.
For this to happen, the most powerful group that should move to implement it are the authorities. They should make laws regarding equality and drop the laws which involves discrimination if possible. But we, ourselves if you can just realize, if we make change starting in ourselves, it would matter. Much a lot if all of us will do it. Come on, folks! Every person deserves equal rights and equal opportunities.
