what is the difference between 均等 and 平等 and 等しい？　All of them can be adjectives


What is the difference between 均等 and 平等 and 等しい？ All of them can be
adjectives. Could you make some examples to show the difference?




均等 is about evenness/uniformness in the mathematical/physical sense. 平等 is
about fairness/equality in the ethical/political sense (i.e., being free from
discrimination). 等しい is a wago version that just means "equal", and is often
interchangeable with the other two. Unlike typical wago, 等しい is a stiff word
(同じ is used in casual situations).

  * 正方形を{均等に/等しく}3分割する方法
  * サイコロの目は{均等な/等しい/同じ}確率で出現する
  * 人権とは人間に{平等に/等しく}与えられた権利である
  * 政治家として平等な社会を実現したい  
(BTW 均等な社会, "uniformed society", sounds to me like a dystopia.)
