Understanding Equality

1.      What is equality? What is the importance of equality? What are some examples of
equality?

The term "equality" refers to everyone having the right to receive equal treatment and
opportunity, regardless of their gender, race, or social standing. The idea of equality is
based on the idea that no one should have worse life prospects due to factors like their
place of origin, their beliefs, their sexual orientation, or if they are disabled.

The importance of equality is to provide everyone the same chance to maximize their
potential as a person and their abilities.

Some examples of equality are Racial equality, Gender Equality, Marriage equality, Equality
for disabled people, and much more.

2.      What are the fundamental features of equality? What are the essential elements of
equality?

Equality has three fundamental basic features:

a.) Absence of special privileges in society.
