Egalitarianism



Egalitarianism (derived from the French word égal, meaning equal or level) is the moral doctrine that equality ought to prevail in society. Ultimately, it may refer to any belief that emphasizes some form of equality between morally-significant beings (usually meaning humans, but sometimes expanded to include animals as well).
