What is equalism?

Everyone is individually different and possesses a lot of uniqueness that separates them from being the same. Since individuals are in fact different, does that mean they are not equal? Equalism is simply a promotion of equality that embraces the conception, all people should be treated as equal, despite their differences. This can be anything from the color of their skin to the religion they follow and much more.

The term "equalism" was created by philosophical originators and later applied to promote activism, including feminism. Equalism is most commonly known as a philosophy, based on it's premise of substance, but others believe it's more of a tool or guide to promote equality. Individuals who are more "pro" towards equalism believe that if an individual is black or an individual is white, despite the color of their skin, they are equal because they both bleed red.

Although it's been stated that equalism only applies to gender, race, and society, it applies to much more by association alone. In fact, when it comes to equalism associated with a person, a place, or a thing; equalism elaborates standard differences, but specifically promotes their equals and provides reasons for believing why.

Equalism plays a role in life and despite it's negatives, it's positives exceed as a result. Some theorists believe that equalism is a way of being "blind" to not just people, but to individual right from wrong. However; if someone's right is right for them, does it mean that it is right for you? Those are some thoughts to ponder.
