OVERVIEW
TECHNICAL
COMMON DEFINITION
Equal
SYLLABLES
Equ = Latin prefix meaning identical
Al = Who or what is al ? ‘Al’ is often a mysterious syllable, in the English language.
CORE COMPOUND DEFINITION
Equ+All
SYLLABLES
Equ: Latin prefix meaning identical
All = Everyone
DEVIATIONS IN COMMUNICATION
FRUIT INTERPRETATION: It’s common for equal to be interpreted as identical in fruit. However, equal could also be referred to as identical in seed. In the chain of communication the seed is the cause, and must be accounted for before the fruit. In this case identical in ‘seed’ will negate the effectual arguments that arise from the concept of identical in ‘fruits’, especially when people do not share identical seeds, cultivation processes or even work ethic. In a society of many inequities especially financially, the errors in comprehension and application can be multiplied. Potentially causing an indefinite broken telephone.
MULTI WORDS: Equality and Equity have recently been argued as having 2 different meanings without referring to their common roots. Redefining the words without validating their roots could lead to further deviations of inheritance and applications.
ASSERTIONS
Equal carries an idealistic tone that is rarely achieved because of the deviations that arise. I make an argument that the primary reason is due to the difference between ‘Al’ and ‘All’.
ADDITIONAL INSIGHTS
Based on my observations, the current application of Equal in society is much closer to Equ+Some. This progressed from a highly unequal history of society, which was unfortunately Equ+Few, whereby only a handful of people got to live equal lives. Currently, with Equ+Some, only some of the people, in certain lifestyles get to live a truly ‘Equal lifestyle’. There should be ample factual references that can validate this.
CONCLUSION
Cause supersedes effect. To achieve Equ+All requires everyone to have an identical seed, and cultivation process. The seed and cultivation is the cause and subsequently the first step towards achieving equality. Otherwise fruit based definitions are the effect and could result in unsolved disagreements from multiple stances. It’s always more efficient to change the cause, as opposed to the effect. Therefore maintaining and applying the root definition of Equ+All should contribute to a more Equ+All society.
