N2  - The title of this thesis is Not All Children are Created Equal: Discrimination
against Children as Seen in My Sister?s Keeper. The writer chooses discrimination
against children for some reasons. First, it is because children are the lowest
position in terms of age in society and they are low physically and mentally. So it
still often occurs to children. Second, it is because of the lack of public awareness
of their rights and the indecisiveness of the law of children?s right. Third, it is
because childhood is the most valuable time that determines how they grow and
what they will become in the future but adults tend to be wrong in taking actions
to children. The method of this research is descriptive qualitative. The objective of
this study is to explain how the discrimination against children in society as seen
in My Sister?s Keeper. The theory used in this research is Pragmatic criticism by
Abrams. The result of this research concludes that from 29 data, there are 5 cases
of discrimination: discrimination on getting attention and love; discrimination in
the right to be protected from abuse and exploitation; discrimination in giving
opinion and expression; discrimination in enjoying the time as a child and
discrimination in getting public service. All those kinds of discrimination affected
children?s psychology: they became antisocial, lost their confident, did dangerous
things, and used alcohol and drugs
