Content: When we define social equity, we believe that is: “social equity is the economic, legal, environmental, and developmental rights of access to the collective resources of society with an all-encompassing effort by means of equal say and insight of all members of society to ensure the longevity of the collective resources and to enrich the individual lives of community members as indivisible, equal inter-respectively, and as mutually comparable pinnacles to the direction of the community and individual members in respect of need and right to access and recognition.” This means that individuals of a society should be entitled to the resources of the community so that they as individuals can thrive without comprising the resource that the whole community depends on. We’re going to look at this in specific aspects of society and its deeper meaning: Education – all societies thrive because they can share, retain and collect knowledge. This means that knowledge is a collective asset of society and should be fairly distributed and offered to all members of society. When understanding equity, it is important to address education as an opportunity to fix social stratification and the differences that occur in everyone’s life. This means addressing each learner as entitled to learn, that their education should be developed to optimize their lives and potential by complementing and augmenting their shortcomings. We often neglect this in society through disproportional allocations of educational resources which further perpetuates social stratification and economic class division. Justice – Real legal justice is often forfeited when a society has systemically oppressed and disadvantaged a specific segment of the population.
