Equallity

Today in English class we got into a discussion of the quote in the book "Animal Farm" that goes as saying "Some are more equal than others." The teacher says that this is true in our world as well. I do not believe this.


While it is true that some people have more power and influence, they are still the same as everyone else when it comes to being human. Wealth and power are just tools created by man to "create" better people. Since these things are not actually part of us, we can deduce that if we were to remove these from a wealthy and powerful person that they would still be the same when it comes to being a human.
To give an example of when power was taken away from someone and that person was still the same human being as before. At the end of the age of slavery, white people lost their power to control their slaves, but were not changed in their "humaness". Not only did these white people lose their power but they lost a lot of wealth in the process and they still were the same humans.
All I'm saying is that equality is just a fact when applied to the humanity of humans. Morality, wealth, power, etc. are all different entities and should be treated as such. Just like I am not my money, my money is not what makes me equal.


Idk just a thought.
