Requirements: |
Each year, our "We the Students" essay competition gives high-school students from across the U.S. a chance to share their perspectives on a trending topic.
This year, our question is:
What is the relationship between Equality and Justice?
Answering this question requires considering each of these principles and analyzing the relationship between them.
To truly explore this question in an essay that is between 500 -800 words, you’ll need to go beyond "dictionary definitions," and express your understanding and reasoning about the connection between these two principles. This reasoning involves a combination of observation, experience, and some pretty "big ideas." What does it take to understand them? To build toward and maintain them? To see them with regard to each other? Why is this relationship important?
We encourage you to bring emotion, creativity, specific examples, and well-researched facts into what you write. A good essay will demonstrate how equality and justice are not just abstract ideas but are part of the actions and choices of people every day.
We genuinely want to know how you would answer the question – what is the relationship between Equality and Justice?
Deadline for entry is April 15, 2021 at 11:59 p.m. PT. |
