Is Equity and equality the same

in #education8 years ago

Good day fellow steemian... There is always an argument on the issue of equity and equality
There is a common misconception that equity and equality mean the same thing and that they can be used interchangeably, especially when talking about education. But the truth is they do not and cannot. Yes, the two words are similar, but the difference between them is crucial. So please, don’t talk about equality when you really mean equity.
Equality denotes that everyone is at the same level, whereas equity in business parlance denotes the ownership of the shares of a company.
Equity refers to the qualities of justness, fairness, impartiality and even handedness, while equality is about equal sharing and exact division.
Equity and equality are two strategies we can use in an effort to produce fairness.
Equity is giving everyone what they need to be successful. Equality is treating everyone the same

With this picture above
Each child is of a different height. We can’t change that. In order to ensure that every child has access to the game, we can provide them with boxes to stand on.
But we can’t just bring one-sized boxes to lift everyone up. That’s equality, and equality does not always elicit true fairness. We need to put in the extra work and give everyone what they need.
The first step to justice is being able to recognize it.
Equality denotes that everyone is at the same level, whereas equity in business parlance denotes the ownership of the shares of a company.
Equity refers to the qualities of justness, fairness, impartiality and even handedness, while equality is about equal sharing and exact division.
Equality equals quantity, whereas equity equals quality.
I hope everyone change after reading this, humility is equity

Thanks for reading
