Hello friends in this article we are going to continue the Civics solutions series. For the previous part click here. But in this article you will read questions from book, which are large and can come in exam.
1. Write a note on the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Answer:
The Civil Rights Act was passed in the year 1964. The Act prohibited discrimination on the basis of race, religion or national origin in USA. It also stated that all schools would be open to Americans and African-American children. This started from a lady named Rosa Parks, when she was returning from her work in a bus, she was asked by an American for seat. But Rosa Parks denied, and after this she was arrested. This happened on Dec/1/1955.
2. What are the provisions made in the constitution for the recognition of equality?
Answer:
The provisions made in the constitution for the recognition of equality are as follow:
(a) Every person is equal before the law. What this means is that every person, from the President of India to a domestic, has to obey the same laws.
(b) No person can be discriminated on the basis of their religion, caste, race place of birth or whether they are male or female.
(c) Every person has access to all public places including playgrounds, hotels, shops and markets. All persons can use publicly available wells, roads and bathing ghats.
(d) Untouchability has been abolished.
3. How can you say that establishment of equality in society is a continuous struggle?
Answer:
Besides the efforts taken by government to reduce inequality in society, and the laws passed by government people are still discriminated on the name of religion, caste, gender, etc. The reason behind this is that people don’t think that everyone should be treated equally, besides of that the laws are in favor of equality.
This attitude of the people is so deep, that it cannot change all of a sudden. It will take time. Even though people are aware that discrimination is against the law, they continue to treat others unequally on the basis of caste, religion, gender, economic background, disability, etc.
If the society beliefs that everyone should get equal opportunities and should get respect, then only the inequality would reduce, this will take time as the thinking for the people is very deep rooted.
