<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the result of declaring certain classes of humans as \u201cless\u201d than others?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe result is discrimination and\/or genocide against groups of people.\u00a0 As I was studying for my Senior Seminar Paper, I came across a list compiling quotes of people accusing other people of being less than human.\u00a0 You can judge for yourself the horrible immoral results that came from the statements below.\u00a0 Here\u2019s the relevant part of my paper:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>Sadly, courts, doctors, and political and cultural leaders throughout national and international history have not always seen every human being as equal.\u00a0 Human beings have been discriminated against and viewed as \u201cnon-persons,\u201d many times, simply based on their race, gender, or class.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cA negro of the African race was regarded\u2026as an article of property.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 A Negro \u201cbelongs to an inferior and subordinate class.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cIn the eyes of the law\u2026the slave is not a person.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 Buckner Payne, a publisher, declared in 1867 that \u201cthe negro is not a human being.\u201d\u00a0 \u201cAn Indian is not a person within the meaning of the Constitution.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 Secretary of State Henry Clay stated in 1825 that \u201cIndians [are] inferior to the Anglo-Saxon.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 Dr. Joseph Nott, in 1847, concluded that \u201cthe Indian\u2026is an untamable, carnivorous animal.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>In 1779, Hugh Brackenridge wrote that \u201cthe life of these [aborigines] is\u2026not human.\u201d\u00a0 Prosecutor Andrei Vysbinski, in 1938 stated that \u201c[Purge Trial Defendants are] a foul-smelling heap of human garbage.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 People who were purged by the Soviet government were designated as \u201cunpersons who had never existed.\u201d\u00a0 Lenin and Stalin repeatedly told their people, from 1918-1934, \u201cKulaks are not human beings.\u201d\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Adolf Hitler proclaimed to Germany in 1923, \u201cJews are undoubtedly a race, but not human.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 The 1936 German Supreme Court declared, \u201cThe Reichsgericht itself refused to recognize Jews\u2026as \u2018persons\u2019 in the legal sense.\u201d\u00a0 In a British voting rights case of 1909, the court stated, \u201cThe statutory word \u2018person\u2019 did not in these circumstances include women.\u201d\u00a0 The 19th century poet, Charles Baudelaire wrote, \u201cWomen are domestic

Darrow believed strongly in the survival of the fittest, and <a href=\"http:\/\/law2.umkc.edu\/faculty\/projects\/ftrials\/leoploeb\/darrowclosing.html\">he claimed<\/a> that the two killed the ten-year-old boy &#8220;as they might kill a spider or a fly, for the experience.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What should good moral character compel me to do?<\/strong><br \/>\nGood moral character is typically viewed as decency, respect, honor, virtue, and dignity.\u00a0 Decency should compel us to extend the equal right to life to each and every human being.\u00a0 Respect should cause us to speak the truth about the real effects of abortion.\u00a0 Honor should lead us to value each life as precious and worth fighting for.\u00a0 Virtue should enable us to open our mouths and stand up for what is actually right instead of sitting in the background.<\/p>\n<p>And basic dignity should compel us to never sit down until every human life \u2013yes, EVERY human life, not only the unborn\u2014is protected by love and by law.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cMoral\u201d is defined as \u201cconcerned with the principles of right and wrong behavior and the goodness or badness of human character.\u201d  I think most of us can agree that there are right and wrong ways to behave and that humans can demonstrate both good and bad character.
