Let's Discuss... Do we need inequality?
Details
We often hear equality as one of the main social movements. but do we want that to be the case? Should criminals have been set free to pursue equality?
I understand there are different types of equality but we often have blurred boundaries between them e. g. equality and equity (equality of opportunity and equality of outcome)
Do we need inequality for equality to be a goal?
What is equality?
Can we measure social equality objectively or is it with how we feel?
