Nowadays, the balance between equality and personal achievement remains a crucial question. It is argued that personal growth depends only on the individual merits, if people are free to succeed or fail because of their own work. I totally disagree with that statement. I believe that to succeed we need to have enough resources and also if we live in an egalitarian society, individuals could focus more on their goals.
In modern societies, there are many different people. Those can be cultural, religious and political differences. In my opinion, I think that people should centre their attention on their goals and forget their differences.For example, my mother once mentioned that people often waste time judging and contrasting those who are unlike them. Due to this, those who lose their time with those distractions rather than focus on their goals. Therefore , with an egalitarian society, the nation will forget inequalities and will be more focused.
Another argument is that everyone must have the same means to reach their personal achievement. It is known that in some countries some have very few possibilities to live well. Consequently, it seems very difficult for them to succeed. For example, a young boy who lives in poverty and must go to work and his family will have more facilities compared to a guy whose parents have much more money. There are two different worlds, where one side is surviving and another one is living.
To conclude, I totally disagree with the statement of individuals who believe that high levels of personal achievement are possible because of their merits. I think that humans need to have enough resources to succeed and also if they do not compare themselves they can center their attention more on their work and have more personal success
