Equal Opportunity, Respect for Diversity, and Equal Rights

This map starts to make some complex links between equality, opportunity, rights, success, participation, distribution, law and security. In this sense, it is a summary of many of the other maps that take aspects of these and zoom in. this map zooms out and starts to make some holistic connections. Which comes first???

Do guns guarantee peace and security or the opposite? Is access to housing a basic human right? In Australia does that mean that everyone should have the opportunity to purchase their own home? Clean water is a basic right all should enjoy. Does the gun help achieve these rights and opportunities???  or Peace???? Is it necessary to be strong to take care of the weak?

Fairness, Sameness, Opportunity and Choice

This started with the word 'fair' and the image of a 'pie' cut into equal slices then developed into the image of a country (Australia?) where everyone was more or less the same/equal/fair and then a dragon appeared ...... China?

A simple looking picture but full of complexity. the figures appear relatively ungendered, unclassed and could be from any ethnic group or community but ... the words break up the apparent unity: the human beings are not 'the same' in terms of our fertile question or global inequality - whose voice is heard? who is discriminated against? is diversity how we organise human societies and communities? does it need to be? Put this 'map' with the mind map Equal Opportunity or any of our other drawings and we begin to see new questions, new perspectives, new ways of thinking - or thinking differently ....

The cities thrive while the rural hinterlands get poorer and less in terms of capital, goods, services and infrastructure. Where are the opportunities and choices for the women and men of the countryside?

or does it depend on what kind of development and what kind of well-being?

the strong always seem to dominate the weak (like the big trees over the small trees). Socially this gives a big problem between women and men - domestic violence, gender inequality.

some live in mansions and high rises/condominiums, others live in huts and slums. In London it was the reverse! The recent fire in a high rise in the wealthiest district in Europe, was a fire of the poor and the displaced, who live in the ugly ill built skyscrapers next door to the very rich living in large low-scale apartments or four story historic homes.

This makes me think of what the connection might be between inequality and conflict or peace and equality! Is the one reliant on the other? superficially I would say yes, but then I think and wonder: what about the seeming inequality in feudal societies or empires such as those in ancient China or India? And today the richest country has the highest wealth inequality - the USA - but it is 'at peace' at least within its own borders.

The other image - malt whisky - made me think of the strange relationship between dependency on some kind of 'drug' (including alcohol)  and certain kinds of marginalization or exclusion, (indigenous, intergenerational unemployment and poverty; mental health) on the one hand, and sections of the affluent and drug dependency on the other (celebrities, parties, etc. )

These baskets bring another way of thinking about the scales of justice that are the icon for this topic (see far top right hand corner of the padlet page!). It is not laws alone that make for justice but the ways in which basic securities and rights are distributed. The baskets make me think of rice, bananas, food and not only money. What do we need apart from laws to make a 'just' society
