The moral values that dominate today do not look at other values present in countries around the world. I don’t think that such a society that lets people exercise their diverse beliefs can exist, as the western views would dominate such a society. Hypocritical notions like equality for all will be given much importance when we all know that it is never possible. Some kind of a power structure is always there and when people say equality for all it basically means feeling sorry for the ones that are less fortunate. Most of us are not willing to give up our material wants to help the less fortunate, all we can give is sympathy. Equality is just a notion that makes everybody feel good. The westerners should realize that such values can’t exist in the modern society where power has become synonymous with success and has the ability to give us a feel good high that no other drugs can.

Equality is based on the principle of "Be reasonable, do things MY way", or you are "against us."

there is no such thing as being equal,you are born into a family/culture and from then on there is some freedom but whole lottaa luck/fate as to where you end up in a society. As for the distribution of wealth, its pretty much against the human nature, yoou need it, your sons and gransons need it, your country needs it, so more the better.There is more distribution of wealth in the poorer society than rich. At the same time, due to more weighted struggle for survival, the poorer society will have more homogeneious beliefe system based on cooperation within the group.
