Equality

Equality is a strange concept. According to the Declaration of Independence, all men are created equal, but this concept seems to have fallen into the lower tiers in the priorities of society. Personally, I believe that in our society, we are not born into an equal place. I believe that take our society away, and we would all be born into an extremely equal place. Some may possess a level of natural ability, but we would all be essentially equal. By saying we all are not born equal into our society is blatantly true. Due to social Darwinism, money has become a genetic trait that stays with families, perhaps even multiplying over the years. Sure, there are stories of people striking rich on Microsoft or oil, but this nearly ever happens. That genetic trait is then put into another family. These "traits" also divide the gap between upper and lower class even more. Since our society is driven by the dollar in an absolute manor, those who are born with money are worth more than those born without it. This is a sad thought, but it is absolutely true. Since we live in a society with money being what makes the world turn, the more money you have the more value you are to society; there fore, if you are born into money, you are born into a higher place into society than someone born without. Perhaps in another place this would not be the case, but this is the absolutely the truth in the United States, whether we would like to admit it or not.
