Equal Rigths Equal Opportunities



Our world has been created by people, and by interactions between people, making everything from law to how we greet each other socially constructed. We would like to believe that everyone has the same privileges in life, and that the economic class one is born into will not affect ones future. We like to believe that our school system provides equal opportunities for everyone and that our justice system is fair.

It is hard to find anyone who would oppose the notion of equality. The difficulty arrives when questions such as ‘equality between whom’ and ‘equality of what’ arise with diverging opinions. (Baker, Lynch, Cantillon, & Walsh, 2004). In political ideologies debate, we may identify the two main approaches to equality. Liberals advocate the equality of
opportunity such that every member of society should be allowed to have a same starting position in order to equally compete for the advantage. Socialists, quite the contrary, claim that a civilization is about the equality of outcomes and that citizens of one community should eventually have similar living standards or access to resources.

Equality of condition can also be seen as insufficiently precise but it is a step further towards a ideal society that is worth living in for all citizens. Now equality is being implemented.
