Q. In the context of polity, which one of the following would you accept as the most appropriate definition of equality?

[A] Access to same opportunities

[B] Equality of wealth

[C] Equal access to privileges

[D] Equal status in the society

Answer: A
Notes:

Exp) Option a is the correct answer.

Option a is correct. The concept of equality implies that all people, as human beings, are entitled to the same rights and opportunities to develop their skills and talents, and to pursue their goals and ambitions. This means that in a society people may differ with regard to their choices and preferences. They may also have different talents and skills which results in some being more successful in their chosen careers than others.

In other words, it is not the lack of equality of status or wealth or privilege that is significant but the inequalities in people’s access to such basic goods, as education, health care, safe housing, that make for an unequal and unjust society.
