Abstract

The noblest species born in the world is the human species. We, who should attain rare knowledge, achieve difficult tasks, and reach high levels in life, are living with various kinds of inequalities. We have not yet achieved balance in economics and individual rights. From the beginning until today, this deficiency has not left society. Although we have the power to completely eliminate this, why have we not been able to courageously create a situation where everyone lives as equals? Time, society, and people keep changing. However, people have still not achieved a state of living equally.
