EQUAL RIGHTS, EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES


               Equal Rights is the right of every person by absolute and personal right, without subject of another, to receive in kind the same amount, size, number or value of what is given to others in a comparable place, so that  there may be an impartial and tranquil state of mind where all can meet and be capable of completing a task or resolving a situation.

               Equal opportunity, or equality of opportunity, is a controversial decision-making standard without a precise definition involving fair choices within the public sphere. While it generally describes “Open and Fair Competition” with equal chances for achieving sought–after jobs or positions as well as an absence of discrimination, the concept is elusive with a “wide range of meanings.” It is hard to measure, and implementation poses problems as well as disagreements about what to do. It is being applied to increasingly wider areas beyond employment including lending, housing, voting rights, and elsewhere.
