This I believe

Despite the ideal of democracy, it can never lead to peace. I believe this because there are so many people who discriminate against others who are different from themselves. Discrimination may be illegal and prohibited for such things as hiring, firing, compensation, assignment, or classification of employees, transfer, promotion, lay off, or recall, job advertisements, recruitment, testing, use of company facilities, training and apprenticeship programs, fringe benefits, pay, retirement plans, and disability leave, or other terms and conditions of employment. Discrimintory practices under these laws also include, harrassment on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, or age. I believe getting a job is hard enough now with the recession we are currently in and this issue of discrimination or stereotyping just makes matters worse for people or families trying to support themselves. It is never going to change, I think people get away with discrimination and stereotyping way more than they should. They find other ways of discriminating other then right in your face. For example "Now Hiring" instead of the employer saying I am not hiring you because of your appearence, they might give a false answer such as we are all set for whatever it is the discriminated person is applying for. Because they legally can't tell you they won't hire you for whatever reason, they lie to you, but will be polite and still take your application. Democracy says fairness and equality but if people hide their discrimination it is not in the open, so democracy has little chance of challenging the problems. This makes life more complicated for people because they can't get jobs. I believe we the people will never really see the day of complete peace in our nation or in any other no matter how democracy is or improves. Just because people hide their discrimination doesn't mean we should stop trying to acheive ideal democracy.
