to the identification of the psychological need for growth, development and utilization of potential powering in a person Goble 42.
All the basic needs above are important. It depends on how each person fulfills it and how they feel satisfactory of their achievement. Maybe a person will
feel satisfied if they can fulfill their needs fully but it will be different to other people who have different goals in his life.
5. Equality
The word equality may arise from an understanding on racism, caste and gender. Some people will seek for their right to be equal with others. Some feel
that they have the right to be higher than the others. They usually discriminate others because they feel that they are different from others, because of skin colors,
nationality, language, social background, caste, income or property, religion and health or disability.
Nielsen 15 in Equality and Liberty says that there are six moral claims of equality. They are:
a. All human beings have a right to have the protection of their persons and vital
interest. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
b. All people have a right to be treated as equals, not because they happen to be
equal in some particular respect or other, but simply because they are human. c.
All people are equal morally worth, have a right to be treated equal as they may be in merit, abilities, or even in moral sensitivity.
d. All people have a right to be treated as ends as something intrinsic worth and
never as means. e.
All human beings, capable of such choices, have an equal right to choose how they shall live.
f. All human beings have a right to equality of concern and respect, a right they
posses not in virtue of birth, characteristic, merit, or excellence, but simply as human beings with the capacity to make plans and give justice.
According to Becker 323 there are three main kinds of equality. There are : equal treatment for equals, fundamental equality, and social equality. Equal
treatment for equals means that those who are equal in some relevant respect should be treated equally. It means that those with equal talents should have equal
opportunities, that those who are willing and able to pay should have equal access to restaurant and hotels, and that those who are equally guilty should receive the
same punishment, etc. Secondly, fundamental equality points out that human beings and all
member of this class should be treated equally in a uniform and identical manner. Human beings are created equally and similarly with identical dignity.

Thirdly, social equality relates to political equality, economic equality, and equality of status among the member of the society. Each person as the member of
a society has the same opportunity in politics, economy and achieving the equal status. They have the same opportunity to compete in politic and economy in
order to achieve a better life. In India the caste system remains although many Indians now are
Christians. The caste system system forbids the member of the society to get their right equally. The caste system rules every caste and the member to always stick
on their rule. In India there are five castes, the Brahmans as the head, the Kshatriyas as the Brahman follower, the Vaishyas as the traders, the Shudras as
the servant and laborers and the last is the Untouchables Srinivas 24. In India it is very difficult to get the equality. Since the caste system has
ruled the society to be unequal in every way. In the fields of education, health, place for housing and market, they are already differentiated by the caste they
belong to. People from different caste cannot live together in a same place. The lower caste will be considered as the pollutant by the higher caste.
