The Egalitarianism

Egalitarianism is a political doctrine that advocates the equality of citizens in political, economic and/or social matters, depending on the context. In a more general sense, egalitarianism designates a school of thought that gives priority to the equality of all..

EGALITARIANISM

Absolute equality

People from underprivileged backgrounds are prioritized over people from wealthier or over-represented groups. Unfair, the best candidate should get the job regardless of background.

Negative point of EGALITARIANISM

Absolute equality

The promotion of Economic Egalitarianism is like a stepping stone to Communism. Under the influence of absolute egalitarianism, there are vigorous calls for “social justice,” as well as minimum-wage laws, affirmative action, equal pay for equal work, and other demands.

"Social policy should be directed to produce the greatest good for the greatest number."

Utilitarianism

Utilitarianism is the idea which goes back to Jeremy Bentham, an English philosopher at the late 18th and early 19th centuries, that social policy should be directed to produce the greatest good for the greatest number.

The assumption of diminishing marginal utility.

An individual's level of utility will go down with increasing income

All dogs go to heaven

"We are sitting in an “original position” behind a “veil of ignorance.” "

Liberalism

Rawls

Family Guy Extract

Liberalism

Rather than maximizing the sum of everyone’s utility, as a utilitarian would do, Rawls would maximize the minimum utility.

Liberalism allows us to consider the redistribution of income as a form of social insurance.
