Is there equality in the modern world?
These days, society likes to talk about equality. People call for treating men and women equally and demand that society eliminate inequality in all spheres. They want to increase the employment rate for women, provide personal cars for everyone, and even find shortcomings in the procedures for placing names in registers. People are fighting for equality between people with disabilities and those who are completely healthy, and the public is being urged to abandon the use of the term “disabled.”
Children are taught from an early age that all people are equal.
“But is that really the case?” I thought.
Men and women have different roles in life and naturally different abilities. People with disabilities remain disabled regardless of what you call them. If no one pays attention to this, all these words and terms have no meaning.
It turns out the answer is “no.”
People are unequal. In fact, true “equality” doesn’t exist.
