Explain the concept of "Equality of opportunity".
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Equality of opportunity is a political ideal that is opposed to caste hierarchy but not to hierarchy per se. The background assumption is that a society contains a hierarchy of more and less desirable, superior and inferior positions. Or there may be several such hierarchies. In a caste society, the assignment of individuals to places in the social hierarchy is fixed by birth. The child acquires the social status of his or her parents at least if their union is socially sanctioned. Social mobility may be possible in a caste society, but the process whereby one is admitted to a different level of the hierarchy is open only to some individuals depending on their initial ascriptive social status. In contrast, when equality of opportunity prevails, the assignment of individuals to places in the social hierarchy is determined by some form of competitive process, and all members of society are eligible to compete on equal terms. Different conceptions of equality of opportunity construe this idea of competing on equal terms variously.
Answer:
Equality of opportunity
Explanation:
An opportunity is an offer given to a
Person in need.And when there is an opportunity for work and education,then there has to be equal opportunities for all.
In old days, opportunities only went to the rich and upper middle class people.Therefore,the government made special provisions for below poverty line people to get equal opportunity to education and work.But at present many schedule caste people have become very rich.Some even travel by aeroplane and tour to foriegn countries,have acccess to iphones.Therefore now we must not think that if a person is from lower caste then that person is poor .The caste system should not be followed not.Social evils like untouchability should be rubbed off now.There should not be a special opportunity to a particular caste but we want equality in opportunities in our country.Today all castes and creed should be treated equally and must get equal opportunities for education and work too.
