Equality Class 11 Notes

CBSE Notes for Equality Class 11 Notes

Equality commonly refers to the idea of equal treatment. As a political ideal the concept of equality invokes the idea that all human beings have an equal worth regardless of their color, gender, race, or nationality. Due to common humanity, human beings deserve equal consideration and respect. It is this notion of shared humanity that lies behind notions of ‘Universal human rights’ and ‘Crime against humanity’. When people are treated differently just because they are born in a particular religion, race or caste or gender, we regard it as an unacceptable form of inequality. The commitment to the ideal of equality does not imply the elimination of all forms of differences. Natural inequalities are considered to be the result of the different characteristics and abilities with which people are born. Social inequalities are created by society. Natural differences which were considered natural, now no longer be seen as unalterable. Please refer Equality Class 11 Notes for more information.
