Some people might say that a rapist deserves to die, no mercy should be shown. Others might say that the rapist is a human and deserves the same treatment that any other human would get.
Well my opinion of the matter varies. A rapist shouldn't get the same type of treatment a freeman should get. The rapist or person has done wrong should be punished for their wrong doing, and if any type of mental illness has occurred they need to be treated and once they are cured they may have the same treatment that a freeman would have.
But, a freeman and a freeman should be treated with the same type of respect and treatment as any other man. No matter race, gender, and religion.
In our society unfortunately we can see people not being treated equally because of their race, gender, and religion. And it will never change. I have heard people say that the United States is definitely 100% equal to everyone. Well that's a lot of garbage. In present time, a man will get paid more than a woman would. Does that sound 100% equal to you? Someone might not hire any other race unless they are the same race as the person.
In the story The House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer, a boy named Matt is a clone and is treated like a dog. The people treat him terrible because he is a clone. That is not right at all. I could see if Matt looked like a dog, but he doesn't. He looks like any other kid on the block, no different than any other human. Yet, he is still treated terrible. People ignore him, think he is a beast, because of him being a clone.
In this day in age we don't have the clone problem (not yet anyways), we have the problem of race, gender, and religion differences.
In the article "Clinton: All people deserve to be treated with dignity", Hilary Clinton says, "All people deserve to be treated with dignity, no matter who they are or whom they love." This statement speaks for itself. No matter how different someone may act, look, or think. They deserved to be treated equally.
