Social equality
It may also be defined in comparison to distributive equality, power structures between individuals, or justice and political egalitarianism.Social hierarchies may form between states or their citizens when power disparities exist between them, particularly in the context of globalization.These disparities are often distinct in type as well as scope, as citizens in different states do not share a common community or social environment.[8] Illustrating the combat fought in favour of this application on many fronts are the following episodes: Early conceptions of social equality appear in Ancient Greek philosophy.[10] Social equality developed as a practicable element of society in Europe during the Reformation in which traditional religious hierarchies were challenged.Internationally, women are harmed significantly more by a lack of gender equality, resulting in a higher risk of poverty.The statement reflects the philosophy of John Locke and his idea that all are equal in terms of certain natural rights.Jacobs states that: at the core of equality of opportunity... is the concept that in competitive procedures designed for the allocation of scarce resources and the distribution of the benefits and burdens of social life, those procedures should be governed by criteria that are relevant to the particular goods at stake in the competition and not by irrelevant considerations such as race, religion, class, gender, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, or other factors that may hinder some of the competitors' opportunities at success.[17] "Notions of equity, diversity, and inclusiveness begin with a set of premises about individualism, freedom and rights that take as given the existence of deeply rooted inequalities in social structure," therefore in order to have a culture of the inclusive university, it would have to "be based on values of equity; that is, equality of condition" eliminating all systemic barriers that go against equality.[16] Under this notion of equality, Conley states that "nobody will earn more power, prestige, and wealth by working harder".The equality of outcome in Hewitt's point of view is supposed to result in "a comparable range of achievements between a specific disadvantaged group – such as an ethnic minority, women, lone parents and the disabled – and society as a whole".In this respect, information ethics holds that every entity as an expression of being has a dignity constituted by its mode of existence and essence (the collection of all the elementary properties that constitute it for what it is), which deserve to be respected (at least in a minimal and overridable sense), and hence place moral claims on the interacting agent and ought to contribute to the constraint and guidance of his ethical decisions and behaviour.
