This is reflected in often shallow analysis about what equity is and what should be done to achieve it. Some human values are:

(i) Equal life chances: There should be no differences in outcomes based on factors tor which people cannot be held responsible

(ii) Equal concern for peopled needs: Some goods and services are necessities, and should be distributed according solely to the level of need.

(iii) Meritocracy: Positions, in society and rewards should reflect differences in. effort and ability, based on fair competition.
