Equality - Paving the Way Towards Utopia

"Men are created equal, it is only men themselves who place themselves above equality." - David Allan Coe

Equality is the state of equal freedom, rights, opportunities and treatment. Had I the opportunity to create a new society and could only choose one characteristic that this society would follow, I would choose equality.

With equality comes equal and mutual respect and treatment of others. When disputes within this society occur, it would be solved through collaboration and consensus rather than violence and hostile behavior. Equal opportunities, would mean that the social hierarchy would not be as radical as the hierarchy in place today, meaning that there would be no exceedingly poor or rich compared to the rest of society. Equal rights and freedom would place no individual or group above the laws and norms established. 

Equality is important as it leads to a more efficient society that can handle problems much easier. A society with equality as a primary principle will be able to find solutions towards problems much faster than a society which argues and fights over everything.
