Language Arts - Utah Compose Essay

This year, we have studied humans from prehistoric times through The Middle Ages. We studied royal governments being overturned by people who wanted to be treated better. We read about Matteo Alacran faced with treating seeking fair treatment of everyone in at the Alacran Estate. We read about Habo who felt that his family would be better off without him. We have read about humans treated differently for various reasons. 

For this Language Arts extra credit essay, write five paragraphs answering the following questions: What does determine the way people are treated in society today? (there might be multiple reasons) Do you agree with the way people are valued today? What would you change? How should people be treated? Should people with more money or education receive better treatment? Which people should not receive fair treatment? 

Use examples from what you have learned in class or other current issues happening today to support your answers.
