This is the lehigh supplement asking to define community and equity and their implications in a 21st century society.
Community and equity resemble a battery and a charger; without the battery the charger has no meaning and without the charger the battery is not durable. In a 21st century community, equity holds the members together to reach their goal; one could argue that equity defines a modern community. A community, a gathering for a common purpose under specified agreements, needs its members to be empowered and motivated with equity as a filter though which they are looked upon the same. However equity relies on subjective perception to whether a member accepts the state of equity in his community. Striving for equity is one of mankind's never ending attempts to perfection, as people's identities obstruct the path to equity. The key to many possibilities in this world is one's identity, a feature praised so heavily by humans that is impossible to leave behind. For example if diversity was to be defined by characteristics not identities, the meaning of equity in that community would be stronger.
