The Idea of Equality in Society In a series of articles written by Thomas Sowell The Fallacy of Fairness, Sowell’s primary points are people use the word “fair” without even knowing what the word really means. Everyone should consider the exact meaning of the word before using it. Sometimes a word sounds good to the ear but it has a different meaning. An example Sowell’s uses to illustrate this is the psychological examination that is given to the incoming college students. Many people say that the test should not be given to the students as the results will be biased. Therefore, life is going to be different for everyone. Life is not about fate; it depends on an individual attitudes and behavior to be successful. Sowell (2010) pointed out

  • Race And Myth In Horatio Alger, By Harlon Daltons

    1138 Words  | 3 Pages

    This suggests that life has nothing to do with race, gender, class, or sexual orientation. They may exist however, they do not play a role in how he or she is evaluated. Each person has a chance at their own true potential as they all start out equal and have the ability to create their own opportunities (261). This myth implies that the opportunities that are presented were created solely by their own potential. One can simply say if they didn’t succeed they didn’t try hard enough. Alger goes on to say, that being committed to merit-based decision making and the existence of standards to measure merit must not unfairly favor one person over another (262-263). However, the standards must come from somewhere or be decided by somebody. Alger’s myths suggest that the pecking order is maintained, to overlook the racial barriers that are so prevalent in American society (264). Horatio Alger’s myths are a falsehood that clearly does not resonate with how society conducts itself

  • Second Treatise of Goverment: Equality in Nature Versus Inequality of Wealth

    885 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the beginning of the Second Treatise of Government, John Locke showed his protest against Filmer's theory about the omnipotent power of government over human beings. He assured that political power must derive from the divine state of human beings. That is the State of Nature which includes the state of perfect freedom and the state of perfect equality. In other words, he argued that all men are by nature created equal; however, John Locke didn't reject the reality that inequalities of wealth are natural and inevitable. How is he able to reconcile these two ideas?

  • Economic Justice: Work on a Global Perspective

    In “What Do We Deserve?”, Arora takes a look at political philosophies and asks an important question, “How much of my good life do I really deserve?.” He brings up that argument that the contest of life is “rigged from the start” (Arora). How do one fix the contest so it's fair for everyone? Society can start by leveling the playing field to give everyone an equal chance, eliminating the idea of winner vs. loser, and encouraging and rewarding hard work and natural talents. Once the system is repaired, then we will see that those who make the effort and take advantage of their own gifts will succeed and be truly deserving of their earnings.

    869 Words  | 2 Pages

    Fairness: the state, condition, or quality of being fair, or free from bias or injustice; evenhandedness. In To Kill a Mockingbird this plays a major part. Atticus Finch is a symbol for both of these things. He was extremely noble for defending Tom Robinson a colored man. Despite the color of his skin and the narrow-minded town he lived in. But when Atticus explains that Mr. Robison is paralyzed and in no way could have committed the crime he was accused of. Atticus did not put all the effort into the case thinking he was going to win, he just knew for the sake of his client and for his own personal peace of mind that he had to do it.

  • The Pros And Cons Of Share Grading System

    A young boy named George was given a transmitter in his ear that would send out a sharp noise to keep him from having an “unfair advantage” in his intelligence. The noise would cause George and anyone else who starting to think about something intellectually would have this noise go through their ear. Thus, causing them to, ultimately, forget what they were thinking before. This causes George to have the same amount of knowledge as his community around him. Average intelligence will allow for no competition and equality among members. Harrison Bergeron relates to fair share grading because there is no diversity of intelligence among students or community members. Everyone will have the same expectations of average intelligence whether you are in the community or in school. Does it seem fair to eliminate someone’s thoughts and feelings because others believe they could be too

    Arguments about fairness and justice have been up for debate for centuries. "What do we deserve?", a question that has many individuals raising their brows to their efforts in their pursuit to achieve their goals. If it is said that we are all placed on an equal standard why are there individuals struggling to stay afloat? In Arora’s essay, he examines three forms of economic modals of social justices that question that idea of why the prosperous or the impecunious "deserve" their position or stature in life. Out of all of Arora's economic modals that he presents the Meritocratic System is the fairest because it gives everyone a fighting chance.

  • The False Equality of Americans

    727 Words  | 2 Pages

    In economic, social and political terms, equality is more of an idea than a reality for many people in America; the majority of money and power has been in the control of White men since colonial times. Ideologies like racism and sexism perpetuate the status quo by isolating under- privileged groups. Problems arise from divisions that are created between two under- privileged groups. For example, the cry for equality loses much of its power when it is fractured into several segmented cries. The book Outside the Magic Circle, addresses this issue. Organizations which successfully fought for equality, like the NCAPT, were destroyed by forces (such as anti communism) which essentially divide the groups’ members and the groups, themselves. Thus, any given group becomes ineffective. This book demonstrates that unity is the best way to fight for equality.

For example, today one can see how stations like Fox take a conservative stance on most issues while CNN takes a more liberal perspective on the same issues.
