Davis and More state that this is fair as everyone finds their place in a society which offers different levels of rewards, thus inequality is legitimate. They state that since there is value consensus on the relative merit of certain occupations and the salaries they command, inequality does not cause conflict, but is seen as legitimate by all and is an accepted part of society. Talcott Parsons agreed with this and stated that inequality is inevitable, legitimate and functional for everyone. The strength of this theory is that it allows inequality to be linked to talent which is unequally distributed.

I was immediately intrigued from the beginning of Food, Inc. There was interesting and valuable information brought up during the film. Many people do not think about where their food comes from. I believe that if people were to know where their food comes from, they would not want to eat it. There are 47,000 products at a grocery store. But, Food, Inc. implies that this is in fact an illusion because all of them are made with the same crops. The fact that there are only a few multi-national corporations that control all of the crops and meat production is a huge surprise. I believe that each person in society would be absolutely shocked if they were to watch this documentary.

Every author interprets and define social equity a little differently. Social equity issues, refers to the distribution of fairness. (Guy & McCandless, 2012). Social equity is rooted in the idea that each person is equal and has inalienable rights. With America’s being a blend of social, religious, economic, and political characteristics, the

The Equity Theory touches on the effects these situations have on the employee’s motivational level. In society today employees are constantly comparing how they are

Rather, Equity, and the sense of fairness which commonly underpins motivation, is dependent on the comparison a person makes between his or her reward/investment ratio with the ratio enjoyed (or suffered) by others considered to be in a similar situation”(Balancing Employee Inputs and Outputs).

For example, is there a bottleneck operation in your production process that you can expand cheaply? What is the effect of adding another oven? How much would you be willing to pay to rent an additional oven?

Adam’s Equity Theory is a model of motivation which basically states that employees will perform at a more productive rate if they feel that they are being treated fairly (Kreitner & Kinicki, 2010). Equity is achieved when a worker perceives their reward for their amount of work to be equal to that of a relevant worker. Negative inequity is perceived by the employee when the relevant worker receives greater rewards for the same amount of work. Positive inequity is perceived by the employee when the relevant worker receives fewer rewards for the same amount of work (Kreitner & Kinicki, 2010).

I agree with Aristotle when he says, “The worst form of inequality is to try to make unequal things equal.” To make everything equal, it wouldn’t require putting down people who strive for greatness and praise for average-minded people.It is unfair to compare someone who has worked hard all their life to become who they are today and someone indolent as equal.When certain individuals impede one’s ability by uplifting the others, they are actually creating more inequality than what exists. To illustrate, in the short film, 2081, the United States handicapper General requires certain people to wear handicaps to make everyone on the same rank. This is not fair to everyone because people who are stronger or smarter have to be made equal to everyone

The need among Americans to be diverted in ever more imaginative ways -- through high-thrill parks, virtual reality arcades, and theme restaurants, plays right into the hands of Dave Corriveau and Buster Corley, co-founders and CEO’s of Dave and Busters. The duo’s 50,000 square foot complexes include pool hall, an eye popping, cutting edge midway arcade, a formal restaurant, a casual diner, a sports bar and a nightclub rolled into one sprawling complex. In business since 1990, this is a high energy, highly efficient operation that’s comparable to a Vegas extravaganza. As a matter of fact there are even “for fun” cashless blackjack tables, with fake $10,000 chips. Pricey, but not outrageous, and you get value

Also, it is generally equated with the notion of equality an equal opportunity in society (Robinson, 2010). The theory of Social

This also leads to the next concept of situational factors and feelings revolving around the motive behind their decisions. The influence of internal feelings relating to similar situations can easily differentiate. One may feel as if they are sick of being stuck working a 9-5 but know they need to keep working harder; someone else in the same situation could easily feel the same and feel as if they are sick of being stuck in a 9-5 and want do violence to get to the top. In my opinion I believe the stigma of social equality and everyone being equal can easily feel like façade, because even if we are the same people and are in similar situations truth is we may not have the same opportunities in life. Having that injustice causes even similar people in similar situations

Buddy Valastro grew up in Hoboken, New Jersey where he progressively improved his culinary skills through his father’s bakery. This being said, Valastro never attended college; however, his passion for the culinary industry was discovered after getting in trouble at age eleven and being forced to go to work with his father. Here, he started at the bottom by cleaning bowls until he proved himself to be worthy of cake decorating, four years later. By trying every task in the bakery, Bartolo “Buddy” Valastro gained the experience and skill to be where he is today. At the mere age of seventeen, his father passed away, and Buddy dedicated himself to continue the family bakery, now as the fourth generation baker.

On the other hand, another injustice that is apparent in our society is inequality. It causes us to feel insecure, unimportant and unequal. People make others feel less with words and actions. Sometimes we do it subconsciously, meaning that we don’t think of the outcome and the damage that we cause them emotionally. When that happens, people feel like they don’t

The equity theory conceived by J. Stacy Adams is based premise that "people gauge the fairness of their work outcomes relative to others, any perceived inequity is a motivating state of mind" (Schermerhorn, Hunt, and Osborn, 2005, p.10, chpt.6). This theory when applied to a sales force would not be the best method to motivate this employee group as to what is deemed fair by a team leader could be perceived as unfair by the

Certainly, Alexie’s illustration of his childhood struggles are an enlightening experience. While he does not directly address the question, it does shed some light on the ongoing debate. Equity vs Equality, which is more beneficial. Equality has been used since Jim Crow when southern schools installed the mentality of 'separate but equal'. This mentality exhibited that even though they were separate, nothing was ever truly equal. This mentality failed. Looking at our system now, one cannot help but point out the similarities to the old Jim Crow system. As Albert Einstein would say, Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Equity is the opposite. Equity would ensure that those who needed extra or additional help would receive because that would be fair.
