| | Center for Economic and Social Rights 4. Friday, December 8, 2000 |
 | | Even though a majority of the Court of Appeal in Gosselin found there to have been an equality rights violation, ultimately relief to Louise Gosselin and the members of the group she represented was denied, because the justices recognized this case as raising social policy concerns. | | | The enforcement of the anti-discrimination provisions of the Act is carried out by the Equality courts. | | | have argued that disadvantage should be the centre of the equality right, and not simply a factor to be weighed against others, including the impairment of dignity. |

| | The Republicans pose as if they believe in racial equality, which is immoral in itself, but this also leaves millions of Whites defenseless. | | | When the people who want to force racial equality in school came across the differences in White ability and Black ability, they lowered the standards down to the level that allowed the majority of Blacks to pass. | | | If we look at the people who were raised with this concept of Equality -- that all people are equal on all matters -- we see that this enters into other issues, such as gun ownership, helmet laws, seat belt laws, and even speed limits. |

| | What Is the Point of Equality? |
| | If it is humiliating to be widely regarded by one's associates as a social clod, think how much more degrading it would be for the state to raise such private judgments to the status of publicly recognized opinions, accepted as true for purposes of administering justice. | | | Positively, they are entitled to the capabilities necessary for functioning as an equal citizen in a democratic state. | | | Nor is it the state's business to pass judgment on the worth of the qualities of citizens that they exercise or display in their private affairs. |

| | It is important to bear in mind that the statesmen of our Revolution were inaugurating a political and not a social revolution, and that the gravamen of their protest was against the authority of a distant crown. | | | Men were, and ought to be, equal cooperators, not only in politics, but in industries and all the affairs of life. | | | Along with the spread of a belief in the uniformity of natural law has unfortunately gone a suggestion of parallelism of the moral law to it, and a notion that if we can discover the right formula, human society and government can be organized with a mathematical justice to all the parts. |

| | Most social democrats support gay marriage, abortion and a liberal drug policy, while others are either non-committed or openly opposed to these policies, although feigned opposition may be employed for political expediency. | | | Eventually, after the Russian Revolution of 1917, most of the world's socialist parties fractured. | | | Social democratic political parties are a feature of many democratic countries. |

| | PSC 202 Unit J Paper 2 |
| | During the 1950s, America became increasingly intolerant of racism and social inequality. | | | Instead, Black activists worked toward racial equality by seeking changes in the law, and by leading a social movement for racial equality that sought to end racism and inequality in the very fabric of society. | | | Supporting King’s vision of fundamental social change, Bayard Rustin proclaims that garnering only civil rights for Blacks is not the end purpose of the Civil Rights Movement, but that rectifying “social and economic conditions” for Blacks is (113). |

| | Recipients of means-tested benefits, for example Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) in the United States, are more likely to believe that the government was distant and unresponsive—and that their efforts to participate in the political process would be futile. | | | They will perceive such programs as policies only for “the poor” and especially the middle class (who are also the “swing voters”) will turn away from political parties that argue for increasing taxes and social policies (Rothstein 1998). | | | In the 1970s and 1980s, as trust was declining, the United States Congress passed legislation that shifted much of the “risk of investment (in retirement benefits for both programs) onto workers. |

| | The End of Equality by Mickey Kaus - A Book Review by Scott London |
| | First, he calls for strengthening the public sphere and institutions such as the draft, national service, and public schools, all of which function as social equalizers. | | | In The End of Equality, he argues persuasively that the most serious threat to American democracy today comes not so much from the maldistribution of wealth as from the decay or abandonment of public institutions in which citizens meet as equals. | | | Mickey Kaus is an editor of the New Republic and a perceptive observer of American class divisions. |

| | Shirky: Power Laws, Weblogs, and Inequality |
| | Six Degrees, and The Laws of the Web, we know that power law distributions tend to arise in social systems where many people express their preferences among many options. | | | Given the ubiquity of power law distributions, asking whether there is inequality in the weblog world (or indeed almost any social system) is the wrong question, since the answer will always be yes. | | | Prior to recent theoretical work on social networks, the usual explanations invoked individual behaviors: some members of the community had sold out, the spirit of the early days was being diluted by the newcomers, et cetera. |
