  • Essay / Social equity: equity vs. Social inequalities - 1097

    The results, inequalities, economic gains of the very rich (1%) have been concentrated on them, without interruption since the 1980s, without spillovers (Hacker & Pierson, 2010) on the poor (99%) (middle class workers and people below poverty). Again, changes in big business that make major contributions to politicians are of course listening to them and creating more business politics than politics for the people by the people. All this and changes in regulation and deregulation have contributed to creating conflicts of interest and political conflicts as is the case today; biased and fully supportive of social inequity. I googled Equality vs. Social Equity and chose an article by Darrow Miller "Is Social Justice About Equality or Equity/", and in the article he used so much of eloquence the example of two children and a bottle. insulin, one was diabetic and the other was not. He insisted on equality: do you divide the insulin between them and give it half and half or do you give it to the diabetic. The answer is obvious: even if they are equal as children, it makes sense to take into account each other's differences and needs.
