This week, I read “The
Cost of Speaking”. It tells the story of a female professor who did not get
promoted, which usually should be given to her due to the discrimination of
race and some other reason. As a result, she asserts her situation and fight for
this inequality. In contrast, the school hired the lawyer and win this lawsuit.
As a result, this female professor got in even more hard situations in school.
The
story is very impressive to me. Discrimination to the race and female people
could happen anywhere. During school time, it may not so clearly. But in the
working position, it becomes more. People are selfish most time, when there is
no conflict of interest, people may not show their potential bias in the deep
soul. However, humanity cannot suffer the test. Most of this inequality and
distortion of human nature would expose under those fight for interest. Another
person pursuing the promotion of the professor that should belong to the female
professor, school pursuing winning the lawsuit to avoid a high amount of
compensation are all showcase of this phenomena.
However, we should still encourage those different races of people to
stand up and fight for their equality. No matter win or lose, and the cost of
speaking loud, we should do it. Otherwise, discrimination to gender and race
won’t get any improvement in the future.
Question: Is there any good way to speak in a more effective way?
