Equality is one of the central principles of democracy and is based on the belief
that all people should have the same opportunities to be successful and have a
productive, enjoyable life.
Equality is rooted in fairness since it is linked to another American ideal, that of a
meritocracy.
The idea of equality is key to the notion that everyone will be able to achieve
based on their efforts and contributions to society instead of their status or
position.
Equality was particularly important during the civil rights era when nonwhites
didn’t have equal standing or treatment before the law. More recently there has
been a debate about whether equality is enough and whether equity is a more
important principle
. Equality means each individual or group of people is given the same resources or
opportunities
Equality means each individual or group of people is given the same
resources and opportunities, regardless of their circumstances.
In social and racial justice movements, equality can
actually increase inequities in communities as not every group of people
needs the same resources or opportunities allocated to them in order to
thrive.
Equality is giving everyone the exact same resources across the board,
regardless of individuals’ or groups of people’s actual needs or
opportunities/resources already provided to them.
