In recent years, there has been growing interest in the relationship between equality and personal achievement. Some people believe that individuals can achieve more in egalitarian societies. Others believe that high levels of personal achievement are possible only if individuals are free to succeed or fail according to their individual merits. What is your view of the relationship between equality and personal success?

It is sometimes argued that personal achievement depends on a fair and equitable society or personal freedom. In my opinion, I believe that these two factors are prime drivers for individuals to achieve more.

argument that springs to my mind is that inequality often endangers

's success. There are numerous studies, related to education and motivation, that have demonstrated that free choice is essential to

's motivation in study and work. If individuals can choose their subjects or jobs freely, they would have a sense of relatedness, and

will enable them to be more self-determined and persevere to achieve more.

Therefore

, many educators suggest parents should be open to their children's choices of studying or working, not limited to particular areas

such

as medicine or engineering, and I agree. If parents placed equal importance on arts and sports, there would be more great painters, musicians and athletes. In conclusion, it seems to me that society putting an emphasis on equality can have a positive impact on personal success.
