In recent years, there has been growing
interest in the relationship between equality and personal achievement. Some
people believe that individuals can achieve more in egalitarian societies.
Others believe that high levels of personal achievement are possible only if
individuals are free to succeed or fail according to their individual merits.
What is your view of the relationship
between equality and personal success?
In
my opinion, an egalitarian society is one in which everyone has the same rights
and the same opportunities. I completely agree that people can achieve more in
this kind of society.
Education
is an important factor with regard to personal success in life. I believe that
all children should have access to free schooling, and higher education should
be either free or affordable for all those who chose to pursue a university
degree. In a society without free schooling or affordable higher education,
only children and young adults from wealthier families would have access to the
best learning opportunities, and they would therefore be better prepared for
the job market. This kind of inequality would ensure the success of some but
harm the prospects of others.
I
would argue that equal rights and opportunities are not in conflict with
people’s freedom to succeed or fail. In other words, equality does not mean
that people lose their motivation to succeed, or that they are not allowed to
fail. On the contrary, I believe that most people would feel more motivated to
work hard and reach their potential if they thought that they lived in a fair
society. Those who did not make the same effort would know that they had wasted
their opportunity. Inequality, on the other hand, would be more likely to demotivate
people because they would know that the odds of success were stacked in favour
of those from privileged backgrounds.
In conclusion, it seems to me that there is a
positive relationship between equality and personal success
