Equity or Equality. Which Is More Important?
- 333 opinions shared on Society & Politics topic.
equality, equity is not only impossible but also counterproductive.
It would be nearly impossible to ensure that everyone has the same amount of resources as another person and even if they did, most would lose it almost immediately.
if you gave everyone 90,000 dollars immediately- most of them would spend it (and end up with 0 again), some would save it (so they end up with 45,000 or 80,000 more or less), and very few would use it it make over 90,000 dollars.
most of the time, the people who want equity don't actually want equity. they just don't want extremely successful people having more resources than they personally do.
you can give people equal opportunities to achieve an outcome but people are not all the same and the outcomes will not be the same for everyone.

Physics,
This is my understanding about this.
With equality, the cream will always rise to the top.
With equity, all the cream sits on the bottom just so things remain fair.
Obama once cut the budget of NASA. He figured it was a waste of money.
A NASA scientist said:
"Anyone can bullshit their way into the presidency. Try bullshitting your way to Mars."

Equality is the state of being equal, especially in status, rights, and opportunities.
Equity the quality of being fair and impartial.
I believe in Equity; because we should be impartial and fair... but Equality is the state in which everything is equal and obviously that would me true equality would look like communism and not capitalism.
And when civil rights preach equality, they are really wanting equal say in everything even when they represent a numerical minority of the total population, which would give them a greater say or power over the majority, so that's not equality is it? Honestly, they may want Equality, but they will have to accept equal equity like everyone else.

Even Aristotle knew 2333+ years ago:
"The worst form of inequality is to try to make unequal things equal." â Aristotle
Like it or not we are all as inherently unequal as we are different because that is what makes us unequal.
Equality as such applys only to opportunity where as Equity requires all men be clones of each-other, and thus there be only one man after all.Its funny how someone 2333+ years ago can figure this basic logic problem out without the distraction of modern propaganda.

While equity is ultimately more desirable I believe that functioning equity comes from a basis of functional equality. And the debate of equity vs equality before we have a baseline equality (that is, core needs) is a distraction more so than it is useful.
Because otherwise the dialogue deterioates into claiming we have a partial meritorious equity now and calling it a day. -
Both concepts are fundamentally flawed. Its a matter of choosing the less flawed one. And that would be equity. Sure, people can abuse equity, so it has to be coupled with conditional requirements that allow a certain person or group of people to have access to help that will enable them to be on the same level as everyone else, but does not grant that help to people who dont need it.
I like to call it circumstancial-based equity. - 1.3K opinions shared on Society & Politics topic.
Equality under the law = good.
Equity = bad. Equity just harms people to have the same outcome as someone else that achieved less. Society always gets worse when there is equity.

Equality. Some equity is reasonable such as to help disabled people but say take me I'd like to be an athlete but should the local women's basketball team be forced to take me just because I'm 4ft10?

Well that entirely depends on what the equity or equality is in reference to?
People should have equal rights and equal access to basic human rights, like medical and bodily autonomy.
