Equity comes out of the idea that people don’t all have the same ability or means to do things. Equity is the leveling of the playing field so that no matter someone’s level of intelligence, economic background, or any other efficiency/deficiency, everyone has the same opportunity to participate.
Equality gives staircases to everyone. In this case, not everyone can go up a floor. Equity builds ramps, lifts, or both. In this case everyone has an equal opportunity to go up a floor. You can’t have equal opportunity without equity.
No. Reductively I’d say equity is a prerequisite for equal opportunity.
Waste of time since your ability to read seems low. Equality ≠ equity
Just to be clear—I know it’s said that this is almost a gish gallop statement—but it absolutely is not.
Since we’re just talking about the headline and not the contents of the article, then this is just a statement. It’s not an argument so it can’t be a gish gallop. If we take the implications of the statement as premises and the headline as a conclusion, then this is just one singular argument which also means it cannot be a gish gallop. Any argument will have a number of premises. Where do you begin? At any of the premises. Demonstrating that the premises are false will show the conclusion to be false. By definition a gish gallop is a great number of arguments that overwhelm an opponent. One argument simply cannot be a gish gallop.
4·2 years agoWhat are your numbers supposed to mean? From your article:
Prior to the debate, a New York Times/Siena College poll released Sept. 28 found Midwestern voters prefer Walz to Vance: Walz was viewed favorably by 44% of voters and unfavorably by 41%, while Vance was viewed favorably by 42% of voters and unfavorably by 48%.
So 44% like Walz, 42% like Vance. 41% dislike Walz, 48% dislike Vance. Comparing 42 and 41 is comparing two different things
Agreed. Someone also made this little graphic to demonstrate how nit-picky it is. The discussion in this thread is also about how we should be critiquing his claims about why egg prices are the way they are.
Punctuation still leaves a lot to be desired though
