You believe in creating a society where everyone has equal opportunities, rights, and access to resources, regardless of their background or social status.
Social Equality is a political ideology that advocates for equal opportunities and rights for all individuals, regardless of their social status, race, gender, or other factors. It is a concept deeply rooted in the principles of justice, fairness, and equity, emphasizing that everyone should have the same access to social goods, services, and opportunities such as education, healthcare, and employment.
The history of social equality as a political ideology can be traced back to the Enlightenment era in the 18th century, when philosophers like Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Immanuel Kant…

Have you ever witnessed or experienced privilege in your daily life, and how did it make you feel?
@9J337J51yr1Y
I have experienced and witnessed privilege, and it made me feel bad and feel empathy for those who are hurt by this.
@9J34SN31yr1Y
I have visited other third world countries and it made me sop grateful for what I had in this country, and even on bad days I still have 100x more than some have in this world.
@9J3KV7Q1yr1Y
I have experienced privilege only in ways that I have earned through hard work and respect. Life is difficult for everyone in a variety of ways. Some lives are easier than others however I see this as a law of nature: not everyone gets served the same plate. Some must work harder to achieve what others were given for nothing. Furthermore it is our responsibility to help our neighbors in order to make life easier for all, not on a national level, but on the state or local level.
yes i had privilege in my life and it feels like i lost everything i wanted and everything i had and feeling like i dont have it no more in my entire life.
@9J32NRX1yr1Y
I have experienced privilege as a white person with a comfortable family income. It made me feel privileged and I wish that all children may have my same opportunities.
@9J33VCV1yr1Y
Yes, I feel like I am treated better than some of the minorities at my school
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How do you think celebrating diversity can lead to stronger unity in our society?
@9KV5Z371yr1Y
By realizing that it is here and focusing on more important issues.
@9KV8R8X1yr1Y
No, because in most cases celebrating diversity puts others down because minoritys are favored in the celebrating.
@9KV65YW1yr1Y
It can lead to stronger unity in our society by showing that everyone is loved and has a place in the country.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Why might two equally hard-working people not end up in the same place financially or socially?
@9KV75DY1yr1Y
@9KV7D4X1yr1Y
there are so many reasons including race, gender, gender identity, where you are in the world, etc.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What does the term 'justice for all' mean to you in a practical sense at school or in your community?
@9KFFP891yr1Y
"Ensuring fairness and equity for all individuals, regardless of their background, identity, or circumstances, is what "justice for all" signifies in the realm of social equality within schools or communities."
@9KN6M8L1yr1Y
Justice for all means that all should begin at the same place, everyone should be presented with the same opportunities from the start; it does not mean that if people fall behind of their own volition that they should be assisted to the level of others, or that those ahead should be held back.
@9KFFVM51yr1Y
justice for all means equal justice for everyone no matter their race. gender, or social standing.
@9KFFTFP1yr1Y
everyone would need to be nice and respectful to all genders and races.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
When have you seen someone stand up for fairness, and how did it influence those around them?
I have seen many people stand up for fairness, it showed others around them that there are people that are willing to fight for things.
@9JNWDZB1yr1Y
If a person sees that another is willing to fight for fairness, many others will work up the courage and fight along side for fairness.
I always strive to stand up for the idea that everyone must be treated fair and equal regardless of background
@9JLRWVLRepublican1yr1Y
The Tinker case it showed the government and the school the students can show their outlooks.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
In what ways do you see inequality in the media, and how does it affect your view of the world?
@9HNXD552yrs2Y
I see inequality when it comes to the people in power trying to have a say in women's bodies and when they discuss the topic of immigration and building borders.
@9HNXFBL 2yrs2Y
The mainstream media is highly biased and critical against the opposite’s beliefs. It is practically similar to political propaganda put out by authoritarian regimes from the 40’s disguised as “unbiased media”.
@9HNXDMC2yrs2Y
Media is skewed by whichever stance they may support, which can then lead to misinformation and false news being spread.
@9HNXD9R2yrs2Y
under-privileged parents exercise greater control over their children's social media use to balance the risks that these young people face by living in less affluent neighbourhoods.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How does your family background influence your opportunities, and is this fair?
@9HNXYLDIndependent2yrs2Y
I come from a middle class family that taught me how to work hard, this is fair
@9HNXXPH2yrs2Y
My family background allows me access to many opportunities and this isn't fair to all.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Can you think of a historical figure who significantly advanced social equality, and what inspires you about them?
Martin Luther King is a hero. He was a great example of what being a Christian in today's world means.
@9HTPG4G2yrs2Y
Probably the people who helped stone wall. Though not one figure they helped greatly with equality today.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Why do you think some people are hesitant to support social equality?
@9HNXP9Q2yrs2Y
I think some people don't like to support social equality because they are self centered and don't want to share what others don't have
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Can you think of a situation where treating everyone exactly the same might not be fair?
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
If you discovered a friend's opinion was based on a stereotype, how would you approach the conversation?
@9JQJJ8X 1yr1Y
I would probably say that although some fit the stereotype, it does not apply to all/a majority of that group or people. Basing an opinion on stereotyping can lead to misinformation and harm.
@9JQH8T41yr1Y
I would bring up the fact that they said something stereotype and tell them that it isn't right that they should knowledge that they said something no okay. I would also give them examples on how they were wrong.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Is it possible to have true social equality in a capitalist society?
@9H3MQWB2yrs2Y
There are winners and losers in a capitalist society but it capitalism is inherently flexible. In a perfect world, it would be a revolving wheel of winners and losers, with no one staying on the top for too long.
@9H3M8JC2yrs2Y
No, it is in a mixed economy like democratic socialists ones.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How would the eradication of poverty affect daily interactions in your community?
How does poverty affect social interaction?
Poorer families and individuals may have less active social lives and may see their family and friends less due to a lack of disposable income.
poor people wouldn't be picked on as much and everybody would be more likely to get along and crime rates for the cause of stealing would most likely go down being that poverty would be eradicated
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What steps can young people take to break down barriers caused by societal labels and stereotypes?
@9JB6VZ21yr1Y
Judge people solely on the content of their character. We should not be going backwards and implementing policies that direct discriminate people based on their skin color. We've come a long way in fighting racism in this country. There is no need to go back to discrimination.
We can educate ourselves about different cultures and groups, and we need to develop empathy for others.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How might celebrating various cultural holidays at school contribute to a broader sense of community equity?
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
In a world with perfect economic equality, what do you think would motivate people to excel?
@9KSLMTS1yr1Y
Making more money would be what motivates people the most now and even with a perfect economy.
@9KSL9KB1yr1Y
I think the next promotion should motivate people, regardless, we should always strive for improvement and work hard for it. Motivation should be internal because these people want to be better and want to be paid more or want that better more important position.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How can sports be a vehicle for promoting social equality, or can it?
@9HNXJCF2yrs2Y
Honestly, I don't think vehicles could promote social equality. Considering that, I don't think people should promote things on cars because then it becomes controversial.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Why should or shouldn't we strive for wealth equality when ambition and talents differ among individuals?
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How do you approach conversations that challenge your understanding of equity and inclusion?
@9JRCR7S1yr1Y
I'm usually very open-minded regarding debating on equity and inclusions. The topic of "Social Equality" regarding society today is a complex topic with many different issues, factors, and solutions.
Giving those hwo in need what they need and giving those who dont need as much not as much this is the best way to loook at equity
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What role do you believe the government should play in ensuring social equality?
@9HNXWRD2yrs2Y
there is really nothing the government can except for trying to hire a more diverse group of people
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How does the presence or absence of role models from diverse backgrounds affect ambitions in your peer group?
@9KNMDDP1yr1Y
Having an absence of role models from diverse backgrounds can affect ambitions in my peer group because there isn't someone to look up to when looking at pictures or images online of someone with the same skin color as my peer group.
@9KN6YNF1yr1Y
If everyone is treated equal that will abolish racism and discrimination.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How can recognizing and celebrating differences among people contribute to social equality?
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Can you think of a time when you felt that you were not treated equally? How did it impact you?
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
When choosing who to work with on a project, how do you ensure that you’re not subconsciously being unfair?
@9KBW8KV1yr1Y
I simply choose who I think would be the best fit not taking into account, race, background, or views. Simply who would get the job done the best
@9KBW67XIndependent1yr1Y
If the people you work with are leaving all the work to you, then those are signs
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Does everyone deserve equal access to healthcare, regardless of their ability to pay?
@9H9H6CF2yrs2Y
Yes, I believe America is a melting pot of all different cultures, backgrounds, incomes, etc. Therefore, to make it equal, I think healthcare is a necessity that should really be offered to everyone in our country, regardless of their ability to pay. Everyone has a different circumstance and everyone should be helped.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
If you were in a leadership position, what changes would you implement to advance social equality?
@9J4CDB9 1yr1Y
I don't have knowledge on this topic to decide on a person
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Do you think popular culture has an influence on our perceptions of equality and fairness, and how so?
@9J3RYTQ1yr1Y
Yes, because popular culture that supports Social equality shows would influence positivity in the new and younger generations.
