Two root concepts of equality are distinguished: equality of welfare & equality of resources. It is argued that once the various conceptions of welfare that might be adopted by the ideal of equality of welfare are distinguished, none furnishes an acceptable ideal. Modified AA.

THIS ARTICLE CONSIDERS THE COMPETING CLAIMS OF EQUALITY OF RESOURCES. THE AUTHOR STRESSES, FOR THE MOST PART, THE DEFINITION OF A SUITABLE CONCEPTION OF EQUALITY OF RESOURCES & NOT IN DEFENDING IT EXCEPT AS SUCH DEFINITION PROVIDES A DEFENSE. HE ASSUMES THAT EQUALITY OF RESOURCES IS A MATTER OF EQUALITY OF WHATEVER RESOURCES ARE OWNED PRIVATELY.

This article is about the Statute of the Indian from the educational point of view of equality. It aims to approach one of the branches of social rights, regarding education. This education is protected by the 1988 Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil and must be provided on an equal basis for students of basic education and indigenous academics. It is a fact that traditional populations, from basic education, receive an education in a different way, because of their language, customs. Based on this premise, the research sought to answer why offer differentiated treatment in basic education (primary and secondary) and not give the necessary support in higher education? In this context, we sought to get to know the reality of the indigenous peoples in terms of education, from the first steps until they entered the University. In addition, factors were pointed out that make it difficult for these scholars to remain in universities and the possible ways to attenuate the existing discrepancies in education and opportunity between indigenous and non-indigenous people. The methodology applied was the bibliographic review, with the use of books, legislation (especially the Statute of the Indian) and articles hosted in online journals. The results showed that despite the advances, there is still a long way to go to achieve an ideal education.

Presuming that the problem of political equality, as it bears on both persons and assemblages, is about being accorded access to the material and symbolic resources needed to manage an effective civic presence, Michael J. Shapiro's critical interventions engage the way a wide variety of aesthetic genres address this problem. In 'Aesthetics of Equality', Shapiro offers a guide to aesthetic methods, focusing on how to conceive equality issues through conceptual engagements with diverse artistic genres.

"Aesthetics of Equality is a theoretical and compositional intervention into the problem of equality. While some of the analysis is concerned with contemporary issues, the book is a primarily a work of political theory and a guide to aesthetic methods, focused on how one can conceive equality issues critically through conceptual engagements with diverse artistic genres: literature, film, music, photography, and architecture. Beginning with the question, "what one can contribute to equality issues by being attentive to aesthetic form in a variety of artistic genres that challenge institutionalized accounts of history," the book proceeds to implement answer by extracting political problematics with analyses of the compositional structures of the textual objects of analysis in the chapter's diverse inquiries. While aesthetic strategies are a main concern in the investigation, it is also shaped by commitments to some substantive political concerns, particularly an attentiveness to persons and voices that tend to be civically invisible The assembled chapters demonstrate the way critical approaches to a variety of media genres make visible and audible the persons and groups that are excluded or disqualified from access to livable domestic space and civic participation. The subject matter is temporally extensive, ranging from ancient Israel and Egypt in the Old Testament's Genesis chapter through the early and later ethno-histories of California and Texas and geographically broad, with chapters on diverse cities: New York, Paris, Istanbul, Los Angeles, and fictional Texas and Mexican border cities"--

There are two basic types of equality, that of ownership of property & that of the evaluation of individuals. There are also two types of models of equality in social systems: (1) the capitalist model, which includes the subtypes of equality before the law & equality of opportunity, & (2) the primitive communism or egalitarian model. Both have major problems. The first puts limits on ownership, while the second puts limits on individual personality & needs. A third model is suggested, which removes alienation while preserving social dynamism, through increasing the expansion of needs within certain limits & separating appropriation from dependency on ownership. Prerequisites for this model include limitations on private groups that could unfairly influence redistribution, the abolishment of wage labor without allowing income without work, & the social learning process becoming an integral part of appropriation. The market remains as the basis of calculation but becomes less important as a reference system. The model is based on the conflict between reciprocity & redistribution & aims for constant equalization through the mechanism of egalitarian movements as a social monitoring system. M. Migalski.
