JOSHUA C. ESTILLER BLOCK 103 | 3:30-4:30 Discrimination of Religion Discrimination based on religion is a big problem that affects many societies. It goes against people's rights and makes it hard for everyone to be treated fairly. In this essay, we will talk about why we should never allow discrimination in religion, why it's important to respect people's beliefs, how to be more accepting and understanding, and why we need to create a more inclusive society. First, everyone should have the right to their own beliefs. This is a basic human right that is agreed upon by many countries. It means people can practice their religion or choose not to, without being treated badly. When people are discriminated against because of their religion, it hurts them and makes it tough for them to live happily in society. Religious discrimination can lead to people feeling left out, not being able to get good jobs or education, and feeling upset. It also creates problems between different groups of people, which can make society less peaceful and stable. So, we shouldn't accept discrimination in religion because it's not fair, and it harms everyone. Second, we should be kind and understanding towards different religious beliefs. When we accept and appreciate diversity, it makes our communities stronger and more united. By creating a safe space where everyone can talk about their beliefs without fear, we build trust and friendship among different groups. Some people think that if everyone believes the same thing, it will make society better. But history shows us that this isn't always true. In fact, societies that celebrate their differences and protect everyone's rights are happier and more successful. These societies show that respecting everyone's beliefs leads to a better and more peaceful world. In conclusion, we must stand against religious discrimination and work towards a fairer and more inclusive society. Respecting people's beliefs, being tolerant and understanding, and rejecting discrimination are important steps to make the world a better place. It's up to all of us, individuals, communities, and governments, to create a world where everyone can freely practice their religion and live without fear of prejudice.
