Which idea seeks to eradicate all forms of inequality, giving certain people a head start to ensure fairness?

• A. Equality of Results
• B. Equality of Opportunity
• C. Affirmative Action
• D. Natural Rights

Answer: (A)

Affirmative Action. This idea focuses on addressing past and present discrimination by giving targeted advantages to historically disadvantaged groups to help them access opportunities and achieve fairness. It’s about leveling the playing field through a head start, rather than guaranteeing identical outcomes for everyone (which is what equality of results would imply) or simply removing barriers so everyone has the same starting point (equality of opportunity). Natural rights are about inherent entitlements, not policy tools to reduce unequal outcomes.
