Is there a relationship or connection between how developed a country is and their modern attitudes related to discrimination or equal rights?

Answer:

Down below

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, there is. When a country discriminates against others and citizens don't have equal rights, this shows that the country has not changed even though the world has. In the case of the United States, when it was first beginning, we had slavery and not all citizens had equal rights. Despite the fact that social norms were changing, people still heavily discriminated against others and didn't give everyone equal opportunities. On January 31, 1865, the thirteenth amendment was added to the constitution. I abolished slavery. Despite this, some people were still enslaved and others refused to give certain people the same rights. In this example, the social norms changed, but the people did not. Therefore, a country who still has discrimination and people who don't have equal rights in this time, is considered to be outdated, old fashioned, or even under developed.

Hope this helps! :)
