You make no sense at all. There is mathematical equality and social equality. They are two separate things.
If what you say is true there would be formulas to solve social issues.
X is also not equal to x unless you define them so.
x is equal to x, however.
People are also not mathematically equal. I am definitely not equal you.
Seeing as you admit that social equality is not quantifiable, I have no idea why you would say that in the first place. I get the impression you are just typing down things for the sake of typing down things.
Don't do that.
You also do not seem as though you understood my post. I did not ask for a definition of equality but for a state in which people would be equal. There are many hypotheses regarding this issue, and many have way different views on the world as well as different ways to solve inequalities.
For each hypothesis you will have to define equality, so defining it in general would make no sense as it is a highly dependent variable.
Karl Marx would define equality differently than Milton Friedman, for instance.

How are you?
You are probably right. I seems I had indeed misunderstood your post.
I retract my previousness arguments.
Social equality, I think, is generally perceived as a state of fair and indiscriminate treatment of everyone so that the rewards for their actions are equal in value to their actions. Unfortunately this would mean profiting from a free market would be impossible. On the other hand it would focus on a work based economy (similar to Marxism) rather than a market based economy which is not always a bad thing. Many prefer the latter because it allows more space and insensible for the production of luxuries rather than only necessities.
I hope this suffices to replace the idiocy of my last post. Thank you for reading.

Actually, it's not so much birthplace and upbringing as it is peer influence that determines values.
I studied child psychology and development this semester and we learned about Erik Erikson and about how, starting from the age of five, children's morals and values and largely determined by their choice of peers.
When I said birthplace and upbringing I kinda meant all aspects of the environment. But I guess it being mainly peers make a bit of a difference to the whole debate since it means that if a child is surrounded by rebellious children that this child will most likely become a rebel rather than the actual area being such that al the children become rebels of their own accord.

Can't we just cut to the core of the question; Is Equality in itself good?
Have it so or not, then what do we mean by equality? Just to take a example from the tip of an iceberg; Should people that are hardworking be rewarded just as much as someone who is not for the sake of equality? Should people be treated differently due to their genders, as our biological code does lead us to have different needs? And so the list goes on...
This question;
is about as wide as it gets. This is no discussion material, and if it were, then the question if good is good is also to be defined within it. Please refrain from posting overwhelmingly large questions without some boundaries or definitions, else it'll just become a definition debate.
