„Inequalities in status exist to some degree in all societies, and those who enjoy higher status and are seen to be more credible tend to be particularly effective at persuasion.“ (Moghaddam (1998), 11)

„Awareness of the existence of other people seems to lead to a categorization of the social world into ‘us’ and ‘them’. A consequence of this categorization is often favoritism toward ‘us’. Negative evaluations of groups are often used to legitimize status inequalities, as in ‘they are less intelligent than we, so they deserve to have fewer opportunities and less money’.“ (Moghaddam (1998), 12)

„Social groups are common to all human societies, as is leadership.“ (Moghaddam (1998), 12)

Digital equity is the concept that people need digital access in order to be fully engaged in their civic and cultural life and to increase their options for growth and learning. For example, people who have digital access can easily apply for jobs, learn what’s happening in their communities, read news from around the world, and research educational opportunities.
