Why do some societies reward beauty instead of intelligence, or vice versa. Ppl who show consistency try to bring change to the social state of the world. A wiseman says there is no greater inequality that equal treatment of unequals . Jean jacques rousseau: the place to start is the diff between natural and social inequality. Certain rights to do things that others don"t. The only way is by looking at their natural inequality and social inequalities.
