What is Social Equity?

Content: By being equitable to the entire population, we’re not creating the grounds to later polarise society. If identity equity is a policy practice, when times become tough, other struggling social groups use this difference to rouse the creation of a social enemy to blame for the current social conditions. This can lead to further discrimination because it’s grounds for the ‘us vs them’ mentality. Those looking to rectify identity-based inequities should be pursuing social justice. In social justice, the adjudicative tier/branch of society uses its authority to address and rectify identity-based inequities, these actions are important and should be administered with an understanding and application of the facets of social equity outlined in this paper. All of these aspects of social equity are prevalent in some form or another. When a large enough segment of the population is disadvantaged by one or two areas of these equity factors, it is easy to discard the validity or right of another factor that doesn’t directly affect us but is made prevalent. This is the cycle of the social conversation, and sometimes it doesn’t align with the current public need. Instead, it creates problems with the idea of social equity and understanding. Both these issues are the seeds of social division that keep us from progress.
