Social equality is a social state of affairs in which certain different 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. These inequalities must vanish before social equality can ever exist.
In order to end social inequality, it is beneficial to know the 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”
