Different Yet Equal

In the eyes of the Lord, we are equal. We were born bestowed with the earthly blessings given by Him. There were no richer and poorer, stronger and weaker.

Equality is roughly about treating people fairly despites the circumstances that might hinder them with regards to relationships that takes cycle in the society.

Around the world, anywhere you go, anywhere you lay your eyes, inequality takes place. 

Be it in the case of Men and Women, skin colours, varying Nationalities, and also in business.

In the actual community we are living in, there are the so called grounds  which are said to be the bases of discrimination which elevates inequality. The first one is age. Situations on this case are seen mostly on job applications. They justify capabilities according to age, and it shouldn’t be. According to Equal Opportunity Policy, age diversity is appropriate and practicable. Another one is disability. Disabled people experience so much with this unjustified discrimination. They suffer not only due to their physical disability but also social disability which pertains to the attitude of people towards them. These attitudes then create margins or borders on the access of this disabled persons on full human rights.

The fact that gender is also tackled by discrimination can’t be escaped. Roles in the society were assigned different to men and women. But, it is a verity that different doesn’t mean unequal, and equality is not equivalent to likeness. Women are observed to be discriminated mostly on lifestyle and on job applications and they are more likely to experience economic disadvantage, violence, and alienation.

Those are just some of the cases visible straightaway in only few steps within the walls of our homes.

In business, there are some instances where clients are discriminated due to several reasons.

“We strive to earn the respect and confidence of our clients, customers and

suppliers and to maintain high standards for their benefit. We are

committed to treating them fairly and with dignity and respect, making

adjustments to support broader participation within the context of our objectives.”

(A statement from BRITISH COUNCIL  EQUAL OPPORTUNITY POLICY) A must to implement on the thinking of every businessman.

The cry of equality is a form of corruption to the very concept of “rights” itself.  There are policies reprimanded to seek the rights of every individual. Everyone must enforce these to achieve the core objectives of such policies. Let’s not make individual differences be the reason for inequality.

We have every second, every minute, every hour and every day to restore sanity in the world where light is called darkness and darkness is mistaken for light.
