There are a lot of people who receive special treatment. One of those are the rich. They get privileges others don't either because they can offord it or because they are popular. This makes it very unfair for minorities.

that’s a good way to explain it!

It's as easy as promise "donations" to segments of the government.

I agree

Yes. Usually by trying to get monetary reparations, or trying to get special exemptions in the laws for themselves and no one else.

It depends on who is in charge, and what they favor. The higher up class receives special treatment because they have more money. I feel like the more money you have, the more treatment you get.

Definitely true.

Anthony

Money is certainly a factor.

Taylee Matthews

Very true

Tori

Very true!

I feel like special treatment is when your parents meet someone and they have kids and the kids get special treatment and can do whatever they would like and not get into trouble.

William

Either insisting their kids deserve something more than you "because they want it", or simply not bothering to watch their own children then pitch a fit when their child is ever-so-slightly scraped or pushed out.

I believe people that have handicaps need special treatment in order to live. I think celebrities and politicians receive the special treatment even though they don't need it

Avery Cole

I agree!

Jessie Hiatt

That is a very good perspective

Anthony

3/8/2021 12:16:10 pm

Yeah, these are the two different types of special treatment.

Nicki

3/8/2021 12:17:09 pm

Well put

Josh Grover

3/8/2021 12:18:04 pm

That is so true I didn't think of it that way

Anthony

Yes, there are many different groups of people. As an example, native Americans are exempt from a lot of laws and taxes. There are also people that are not born with a right to special treatment, instead they earn it.

Jessie Hiatt

I agree with that

I believe a lot of people in today’s society receive special treatment . Sometimes it happens in sports or in school when there instructor happens to be their parents as well. It is always frustrating when other people get better treatment because of something like that.

Gage Bill

Yes

Alexia

Good example

Faith

I agree

Nicki

I feel like people who are rich get special treatment a lot, if you have enough money you can basically do anything you want.

Emma

3/8/2021 12:29:36 pm

That’s very true!

Josh Grover

In society some people receive special treatment and those people usually have power or are related to some one with power. For example if you were related to the sheriff you might be less likely to get a ticket or if you were in a rich family you could get free hand outs.

Gage bill

3/8/2021 12:18:52 pm

For sure

I think there are many people in our society that receive special treatment. People with a lot of money receive special treatment.

Gage Bill

Special treatment is all over our society in schools, grandparents, and government. For example in school some kids get more help because could have a mental illness. When grandparents come they always give the grandkids special treatment. The government for example the president he has to get special treatment.

Taylee Matthews

3/8/2021 12:18:45 pm

Good example

Alexia

3/8/2021 12:19:58 pm

Good last example

Tori

3/8/2021 12:18:51 pm

I feel in today’s world rich people and also influencers get special treatment for the government or so called lower class.

Faith

3/8/2021 12:18:53 pm

Attractive people tend to get treated better. They usually get more of what they ask for rather than someone who is less attractive. This is because people see someone attractive and try to get on their good side.

Miriam

That is the sad truth.

I think that everyone gets a “special treatment” at some point in their life depending on who they are around or what they are doing. Most of the time you don’t realize you are getting treated different. For example, your close friends will always be invited to activities you have but your friends may not. Those who you are super close to will be getting a special treatment compared to your other friends.

Taylee Matthews

I do believe people get special treatment. For and example celebrities get whatever they want. They don’t have to wait in long lines. They get stuff for free. Another example is at school. Some students get the extra help.

Miriam

Famous people can always be annoying!

In our society today no matter how hard we try to be equal there has never been a time when it has felt like it. After one group or organization starts to rise for equality it usually flips the whole situation around. Then after abuse has been directed towards one group they end up getting special treatment for it later on after the situation has passed.

Emma

3/8/2021 12:29:05 pm

You made a great point about no matter how hard we try to be equal, it will never happen.

Emma

There are many different types of people that get “special treatment”. Speaking about recent times, the people that are getting more special treatment based off of race. The reasoning being is because what has happen over many years ago and if is being held against others who really had nothing to do with it nor did it because they were not alive at the time.
