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

As we are living in a democratic and capitalistic

society

, we have the

freedom

to achieve our dreams unless it does not violate the law.

However

, some

people

argue that our right should be acceptable only if when it contributes to social justice. In

this

essay, I will explore both opinions and elucidate my arguments in the following paragraphs.

First

of all, when we have the

freedom

to accomplish our visions and our

success

will lead to financial security,

people

have more motivation to work hard and it eventually increases the sum of

happiness

of our

society

. As one of the eminent ,philosophers Jeremy Bentham pointed out, maximizing

happiness

eventually results in the whole justice.

For example

,

people

in North Korea do not have motivation or encouragement, as they are living in a communist nation which means even though they work hard it does not enhance their life qualities.

In contrast

, the reason why South Korea has developed so fast

last

several decades is that

people

have a strong ambition to succeed or achieve their life goals and

society

provides all the necessary provisions.

Thus

, there is nothing better than individual

freedom

when we want to inspire one's desires to achieve.

On the other hand

, no matter how much individual

freedom

has extended, if social justice is not realized, our

success

has no meaning. In some ways, our

success

is a zero-sum game which deprives limited resources of others.

Thus

,

success

is not coming from someone's exclusive ability, rather than it comes from the structural contradiction in

society

.

This

is why we have to think not just about surviving ourselves only but about coexisting altogether.

For example

, some Northern European countries

such

as Denmark and Finland are very egalitarian societies as there are not many absolutely rich or poor

people

. In these equal societies, the poor do not have to worry about their abject poverty,

besides

the rich

also

do not show off their wealth.

Consequently

, social balance creates and promotes

happiness

for everyone. To sum up, it is indisputable that human

freedom

is crucial as

this

is the main source of

people

's encouragement.

However

, if we pursue too many individual rights it

finally

destroys our social values and eventually

it

leads to unhappiness. We have to work with the government to increase our total sum of

happiness
