I thought that equality and fairness meant the same thing until I Googled Equality vs Justice and it read: “Justice is the quality of being fair, while equality is the state of being equal.” Then I watched a YouTube video on Equity where I saw: Equity is treating different people differently. That was new for me. We have achieved Equality under the law, in theory, but we have more to do to create a “level playing field to achieve Equity.” In the cartoon the boxes had to be rearranged so that the three characters can enjoy the game. That implies rearrangement and the need for more resources. Not an easy task, but inequalities can no longer be ignored.
