Question 21 • CA-Ethnic Studies

How is the goal of achieving equality different from the goal of achieving equity?

Answer

Achieving equality means considering how people can be different, while achieving equity means viewing everyone in the same way.

Achieving equality means removing all obstacles people face, while achieving equity means removing obstacles only for the dominant group.

Achieving equality means treating everyone in a way that seems fair for all, while achieving equity means removing the barriers that harm different groups.

Achieving equality means using the law to solve discrimination and unfairness, while achieving equity means using social justice movements to bring about change.

Explanation

Equality focuses on treating people the same or in a way considered fair to everyone. Equity recognizes that different groups may face different barriers and aims to remove those barriers so people have fair opportunities. Therefore, choice C best describes the difference.
