Acknowledging the marginalized is a moral imperative from "summary" of In the Margins by Elena Ferrante
To ignore those who are marginalized in society is not simply a matter of turning a blind eye, but rather a profound ethical failing. It is a betrayal of our shared humanity, a refusal to acknowledge the inherent worth and dignity of every individual, regardless of their social status or background. The marginalized are often those who have been systematically silenced and oppressed, denied a voice and agency in shaping their own lives. By failing to recognize their existence and struggles, we perpetuate the very systems of inequality and injustice that keep them marginalized in the first place. Acknowledging the marginalized is not just a matter of charity or goodwill, but a moral imperative that demands our active engagement and solidarity. It requires us to confront the uncomfortable truths of privilege and power that shape our world, and to challenge the structures of oppression that perpetuate marginalization. It means listening to the voices of those who have been silenced, amplifying their stories and experiences, and standing with them in their fight for justice and equality. To ignore the marginalized is to accept a world where some lives matter more than others, where some voices are heard while others are silenced, where some are able to thrive while others are left to struggle and suffer. It is to turn a blind eye to the deep-rooted inequalities and injustices that pervade our society, and to allow them to continue unchecked. As individuals and as a society, we have a moral responsibility to acknowledge the marginalized, to see them, to hear them, and to work towards a more just and equitable world for all.
