Equality is a moral and political ideal that says all human beings have equal worth and deserve equal respect because of their common humanity.
Paradox of Equality
Equality means that all human beings deserve the same respect and consideration because of their common humanity. It does not mean treating everyone identically, but ensuring fairness and equal respect.
Differences
