The American Declaration of Independence notes that "all men are created equal," and many modern societies have tried to live up to this precept.
Legislation has been passed in many countries that is intended to ensure equal opportunities for all, regardless of race or ethnicity, gender, religious beliefs, age, disability, or any other distinguishing characteristic. This book explores the fundamental questions related to discrimination, including whether minority groups truly receive equal opportunities in education and employment.
