Malcolm , that the rights of human beings are recognized in this society, on this earth, on this day, which we intend to bring into existence by any means necessary." According to Malcolm it doesn't matter if they are young, old, disabled or incapable. Yet, what if we looked back at our past and couldn't count how many times these so-called humans have treated others who share the same characteristics as humans as inferior creatures. It becomes as if to have some form of equality there must always be a group of people treated as inferior. According to Francis Fukuyama, author of “Human Dignity”, if we lived according to his idea of ​​the X Factor, the world would be a more equal place. “What the demand for equality of recognition implies is that when we strip away everything, once the contingent and accidental characteristics of the person are eliminated, some essential human quality remains that deserves a certain minimum level of respect (Fukuyama 186).” In all honesty this seems like a good idea at first, however people will always find another reason or characteristic to say that one group of people is better than another. How does Factor X place limits and restrictions on those who fall into the Factor X category? How can the X Factor be improved or modified to include it? Do we then create another type of Factor away before they even have a chance to use them. They no longer have a choice about how they want to live their lives, political feelings, or social interactions because they are different or do not possess the X Factor. These people possess what Fukuyama calls accidental characteristics, which make them incapable of being classified under the X Factor Leaving the idea of ​​whether these people should still be considered a human being and the idea that if the X factor was modified to fit these people, who will be the new group of people who do not fit into the X factor category? If we look back, there has always been a group of people who do not fit into the general population and are seen as inferior. Even in the present they are this type of people, so if it was done both in the past and in the present, what does that leave for the future?.
