Equal Rights Equal Opportunities

“Equal Rights, Equal Opportunities”

 

 

Equal rights means the absence of legal discrimination against any one individual, group, class or race. In earlier times certain classes possessed special privileges or were judged by special law. 

Equal opportunity does not provide much of an opportunity for the nation’s people. In return it takes away from companies, of any size, from progressing. The civil rights act has many useful items covered such as desegregation of schools and a person’s freedom to seek employment or use of public places. All of these things are understood in this new generation.

Equality or equal society implies that everyone enjoys the same rights. Everyone is bound by the same laws, has access to the same health care and education, and equal opportunity to employment. Given the diversity in race, social status and economic status in our society, true equality can be difficult to achieve.
