What is Social Equity?

Content: Developmental equity looks not only to assure the consideration of these individuals into society but to actively provide this diverse population with the things and opportunities needed to live rewarding and meaningful lives within society. One might note that we haven’t defined and specified identity equity. Identity equity is to acknowledge racial and social population segments for their histories and particular struggle in society. This kind of equity can only breed more social division, it’s not that it’s wrong to champion the causes of these populations. If we as a society, strive for the economic, environmental, judicial and educational rights with this understanding of social equity, we are consciously addressing this social issue. 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.
