In our ever-changing society, people have defined 'equity' and 'community' in many different ways. How do you define these terms and what are the implications of equity and community for our 21st century society?
As I stare into a deep abyss of ocean-blue atmosphere, I consider that I am not the only curious soul delving into this unknown. In fact, thousands of miles away someone may be sifting through the same stars and the same thoughts. Perhaps such thoughts explore the magic of star formations such as the renowned "Big Dipper" or "Orion's Belt". It baffles me how even stars are grouped to form a stunning sight and this to me is the definition of community. On a more literal level, community is the integrration of people creating a close-knit group with specific attributes, such as support and unification. Without support of others a community cannot exist. People rely on each other to stabilize a functional community like stars rely on each other to balance out their own gravitational pull. As each luminous bundle of energy pulls on their neighbor stars, they are aligned in such a way to create an extraordinary sight. Similar to the stars, human beings depend upon and cooperate with each other to establish a prosperous society. Equity (i.e., each person's contribution to his or her community) is therefore one of the major components of a community and without this aspect, society would be at a standstill.
While our community continues to develop, naturally, we must adapt to our ever-changing environment. In our 21st century world, technology shares a direct relationship with violence and thus, for our own survival, community and equity become imperative. More optimistically, community and equity are also a big part in upholding a flourishing society in that we can progress with the rest of the world and continue to help those who are in need.
I was going for something kind of abstract and different for my intro instead of simply just answering the question.. not sure if its just just reandom and take it out?
also I'd appreciate any suggestions to improve my essay! Thanks.
