Abstract:

Before the Civil War, the United States gradually became one of the most democratic and egalitarian countries in the world, driven by the dual forces of pursuing equality and material wealth. Despite rapid economic development, true equality remained elusive. This equality was primarily limited to white men, while middle-class women and other groups faced significant restrictions, and enslaved individuals and Black people suffered severe discrimination and exploitation. Particularly in the South, although the traditional order was overthrown, a new social order had yet to be established, resul

Abstract:

The emphasis on individual achievement is highly regarded in the United States. No feature of our society is more prized than the opportunity for each person to reach his maximum potential. Most of us would like to believe that the humblest and poorest who are smart and gifted can lift up their heads and achieve new heights. The sky is the limit, in our folklore, not only in terms of becoming a super athlete like Tiger Woods or Alex Rodriguez, a captain of industry like Andrew Carnegie or Bill Gates, but also in becoming the president of U.S.—as with Andrew Jackson and Abe Lincoln who gr

Abstract:

This article examines the various sociological and philosophical perspectives on equality of opportunity, focusing on areas of misunderstanding within these viewpoints.

Abstract:

BackgroundThis study investigates if intergenerational equality of opportunity is linked to mortality in 30 European countries. Equality of opportunity may lead to greater returns on health investments and, consequently, improved health outcomes. In turn, a perceived lack of fairness in the distribution of life chances and limited possibilities for upward intergenerational mobility can cause anxiety among individuals and gradually compromise their health.MethodsWe used information on 163 467 individuals’ and their parents’ Socio-Economic Index of Occupational Status from a large survey data se

AbstractThe relationship between female crime rates and the status of women is examined using information from 43 nations around the world. Hypotheses derived from four major theories — equality, opportunity, economic, and social disorganization - are tested, as well as variations of equality theory (emancipation, sex-role differentiation, and status of women) which lead to different predictions. Correlations are computed for variables reflecting the status of women and general levels of development and disorganization across these nations and two dependent measures of female arrest rates — le

Abstract:

This essay critically examines the efficacy of race-based affirmative action in U.S. college admissions, arguing that it fails to adequately address the root causes of racial inequality and often does not benefit the most marginalized individuals within minority groups. By exploring affirmative action through the lens of political philosophy, particularly John Rawls' conception of social justice, the essay contends that a focus on socioeconomic status rather than race would more effectively promote equality of opportunity and align with Rawlsian principles.

In democratic political systems, political equality is often defined as an equality of opportunity for influence.

One common thread running through recent democratic innovations is the belief that appropriate institutional devices and procedures can alleviate the impact of background inequalities on the presence and voice of the disadvantaged within those designs.

<em>As enshrined in the Preamble to the Constitution of India, “equality of status and opportunity” must be secured for all its citizens; equality of every person under the law is guaranteed by Article 14 of the Constitution. A safe workplace is therefore a woman’s legal right. Indeed, the Constitutional doctrine of equality and personal liberty is contained in Articles 14, 15 and 21 of the Indian Constitution.

Abstract:

This paper aims to explore the impact of marriage squeeze on women's status, focusing on the relationship between gender roles and social change. Through the comprehensive analysis of relevant theories and empirical research, this paper reveals how marriage squeeze can shape and change women's status at different levels. The study found that marriage squeeze led to increased competition among women in the marriage market, which in turn affected their education, career development and family roles. At the same time, social change also provides an opportunity for the promotion of women's status.

In this article, I trace the history of the substitution of education reform for economic reform in order to ask, and answer, this question: why do we continue to imagine that (higher) education is where we, finally, achieve equality? The substitution of education reform for economic reform begins in the early 1960’s with the landmark “Coleman Report.” I argue that this report, and others that followed, show conclusively that economic inequality simply reproduces itself, and no amount of educational reform can make up for its devastating effects. However, at this very same time, education refo

It is often argued that development aid can and should compensate the restrictions on migration. Such compensation, Shachar has recently argued, should be levied as a tax on citizenship to further the global equality of opportunity. Since citizenship is essentially a ‘birthright lottery’, that is, a way of legalizing privileges obtained by birth, it would be fair to compensate the resulting gap in opportunities available to children born in rich versus poor countries by a ‘birthright privilege levy’.

Abstract Community forestry holds great potential to improve the situation of poor people through provision of basic forest products. However, Nepal's traditional caste and wealth structures can lead to forest management that does not meet the needs of poor people. Locally created criteria and indicators of success offer an opportunity to incorporate values of status equality into community visions for the future. In this study, we identify similarities and differences between the goals of rich and poor users to determine the aspects of community forestry that require special attention during

Abstract:

This article aims to examine how the Sikh women diaspora from two generations exercised their rights within the religious domain in Malaysia. Sikhism has a unique world view of gender ideology; from a gender perspective, God is symbolically described as a husband to all of humanity, whereby all humans, irrespective of gender, are perceived as having the status of wives to God. Since the Sikh religion focuses on the concept of the spirit rather than the physical body; therefore, the position of God and mankind should be cognized from the viewpoint of transformation of spirit.
