Consider the following statements:
1. Treating someone differently because they were born into a particular religion, race, caste, or gender is unacceptable. These grounds of inequality must be rejected.
2. Division of labor is not necessary for the smooth functioning of society.
3. Being committed to the ideal of equality does not mean eliminating all kinds of differences.
4. Equality means that how a person is treated and the opportunities they receive should not be determined by birth or social circumstances.
Which of the above statements is/are false?

Question

Accepted Answer

Different tasks are performed by different people in society and they have different importance, otherwise it would lead to disorder in society. Therefore, statement 2 is false.
