The words of Hughes relate to my community because there is a barrier on communicating about the rights of the oppressed here. This barrier is not well defined and is not imposed in black and white, but whenever someone tries to take some practical measures to improve the lives of the poor people, these barriers get active. Living in a society imposes certain obligations on the people so that they play their roles in ensuring equal rights for all the people living out there. In my community, this role has not been played effectively by most of the people. There are clear distinctions between the upper class and the lower class which are creating a sense of aggression in people from lower class. The situation is especially critical in case of the youth in the lower class. Nobody is allowed to talk about this discrimination on any forum because the authorities feel that this will give rise to riots in the society.
Another aspect of social responsibility in my society is the biasness shown by employers while employing workforce for the various jobs. A clear preference is given to the candidates who have come from the upper class families and there are only low level jobs which are offered to the people from the lower class families. There has been a clear economic distinction between the upper and lower classes due to this practice. Even in the educational institutions, there is a clear discrimination between pupils from lower and upper classes, providing more opportunities to the pupils from upper class to participate in extracurricular activities. All these activities have started to show their impact on society as some people from the lower classes have indulged in criminal activities and their major focus is to loot and disturb people from the upper class only.
