Social Health Definition

Obama Voters. Do you believe in Social Equality?

Social equality is a social state of affairs in which all people have the same status in a certain respect, at the very least in voting rights, freedom of speech and assembly, the extent of property rights as well as the access to education, health care and other social securities.

If this ideal situation of social equality were to exist, inequality would not be present in society. However, inequality does in fact exist because everyone does not have equal status, education, or health care.

Here is one definition: “Social inequality is the expression of lack of access to housing, health care, education, employment opportunities, and status. It is the exclusion of people from full and equal participation in what we, the members of society, perceive as being valuable, important personally worthwhile and socially desirable” .[1]

In the terms you describe yes. I don’t agree with communism – the concept that private ownership is wrong. Every person deserves the opportunity to succeed, but they only deserve the rewards they then earn by their own efforts.

Many kids throw away their education and their chances, mostly because parents these days are too lazy to supervise and push their kids to achieve. It’s time parents stepped up to the plate and stopped blaming ‘the system’.

I think Obama will encourage equal access to health care and education, but it will be up to people in this country to take those opportunities and do something with them.
