ReplyDeleteIf we follow the three main messages from the French revolution then we are in a good way to a society which is fair and generally correct without depending on the wealth and being fair to all the estates. Nowadays some rights are not verified for all the estates. This should be some food for thought for us to think if this world is fair enough for all of us. The question is that; Is our world fair enough?

Nowadays our community is the same, with the French because there are a lot of poor people, not so many second estate and a few in the first estate. Secondly, poor people don't have food and some people eat chicken,fishes and other expensive food.
ReplyDeleteTo make society more equitable, firstly all people must respect the rights of other people! Also, It is better to have Democracy because all the people are equal.Finally, the best way to make our society more equitable is to have the same opportunities and accept difference.
