'communities of the modern era' - Lehigh University: equity and community

In our ever-changing society, people have defined 'equity' and 'community' in many different ways. How do you define these terms and what are the implications of equity and community for our 21st century society?

Equity, the way I see it, is the quality of fairness in a community that enables equal opportunity and treatment for all people. It is what keeps a community alive and healthy, and without it, communities can quickly disintegrate. What is a community? The simple definition is a group of people with a common interest. However, in defining communities that are stable, equity must be included as a necessary factor, because it is the glue that holds a community together. When communities abandon equity, the results can be downright disastrousïprotest movements turn into bloody revolutions; social networking sites become channels for cyber-bullies; neighborhoods fall apart. But when the individuals in a community learn to appreciate one another and treat each other fairly, the communal bond becomes stronger, and each individual becomes empowered. In today's society, it is imperative that we recognize the importance of equity. To continue moving ahead and making positive advancements in the 21st century, we must learn to display equity toward one another, to work together cooperatively, and to truly respect one another as unique individuals. If we all do this, there is no limit to what the communities of the modern era can achieve.

Good day Theresa.

I think this is a very good supplement essay and I like the fact that you inter-correlated the definitions of equity and community to have one flowing and related essay.

I have no other corrections otherwise.

I am also applying to Lehigh and have also chosen this prompt, you could take a look at my version, though I don't believe its as interconnected nor eloquent as your was.

Hope this helps! Good job.
