He can only work with his arms, and his head, that of which, he earns money from. He gives talks, inspiring talks just like Nic Vuijic (however it is supposed to be spelt) and educates people about the difference and more importantly, similarities between us and them. He showed us this slide (Picture of equality vs equity) which captured my attention because, I 'm interested in equality.

Look at how we, humans, treated each other in the past. War had been declared very often between countries or states for improper treatment to one another. For example, …show more content…

Sure... Looking at the world context today, women usually wear slightly more revealing clothes to like parties or dinners and stuff while men tend to wear more smart looking suits. Girls in informal occasions usually either wear short shorts or slim jeans while guys... Just casually wear tees and Bermudas... We have the tendency to think that guys should be hanging out with guys and girls should be hanging out with girls and that mix gender "squads" would be very awkward. My whole life I have never lived by that rule. I primary school and even now, I 'm the guy who always hangs out with girls because I find that they are pmore suited for my kind of personality I suppose. You know..the more social ones and less rough ones on the planet... Sorry

Equality is something people want till people actually have it. Equality often limits a person’s abilities and disables to do something for themselves or inspire themselves. Equality's, the main character in the book Anthem, the primary motivation is proving that he is smart enough to become a scholar. Equality has a right to be motivated in this way since he believes that he can help the society so he is giving into the collectivism. I think that if everyone was motivated in this way, there would be a more progressive society where people sought to improve themselves and society at the same time.

The meaning of equal opportunity is debated in fields such as political philosophy, sociology and psychology. It is being applied to increasingly wider areas beyond employment including lending housing, college admissions, voting rights, and elsewhere.
