Why Abortion and Gay Rights Debates Last Forever

The social issue such as abortion and gay marriage have existed for a while in America. Some people argue that the issues exist because of different political belief in the term of Conservatism and Liberalism. The team play that exists within American political party is troublesome; yet, that is the political system that American Founding Fathers have envisioned.

Even though the general Americans are educated with American political system, many people lack the knowledge on our criminal justice system. There are two main model: conflicting model and consensus model. Each system is defined as following,

• Conflicting Model - System conflict theory argues that worries over fame, promotions, wages, and success cause the criminal justice system to conflict with itself.

• Consensus Model - the organizations of a criminal justice system either do, or should, work cooperatively to produce justice, as opposed to competitively.

American government is based on conflicting model, which is why the debates on gay marriage and abortion still exists today. However, the mentality of Americans are working in the sense of consensus model. Which means American are unintentionally believing in consensus model to solve social issues in conflicting model justice system.

In the case of abortion, conservatives believe liberals to cooperate with them on abortion issue and accept that all life are sacred. On other hand, the liberals believe conservatives should accept no one should not impose one belief to other.

Obviously, there are more into this issue. But the point is, whether if the government is going by consensus model or conflict model, compromise is essential political action that everyone tends to forget. Instead of compromising, the general American public is constantly attacking each other. The proof of uncompromising action can be found anywhere today, especially with words. Here are the lists of some offensive words by pro and anti- gay marriage.

Anti -Gay Marriage toward Pro-Gay:

• Unamerican (used by conservatives on almost every issue)
• Anti-Christ
• Faggot

Pro-Gay Marriage toward Anti-Gay:

• Zealot
• Bigot
• Hater

I listed only three words from many that the activists from each side uses. Realistically, both side would not win the battle with this kind of attitude.

America is definitely heading toward equality for gay couples, and that would be historical. However, it will keep America divided on the issue.

This might be destiny of America.
