Do you believe equality is beneficial or detrimental to society?

[sphelps]

In what context and how do you define equality?

Is providing all kinds financial aid to the minority a form of equality? What about employment? Every application I've seen has a check box for minority, a clear sign that a qualified minority will beat you out for that job even if your qualifications are better.

If it's related to gender how is it defined? In my field and many others women have the advantage because of equality since they are the minority.

I don't get the question, might get more of what you're looking for if you were more specific.
