Social Factors
Many social factors influence the equality of opportunity. These are just a couple of examples of social factors that may influence the equality of opportunity for individuals.
Whatever your religious belief may be ever body socialises with their peers when they come together to worship and pray to their chosen god in. All members of the same religion whether they are Buddhist, Catholic, Hindu, Muslim, or Jehovah witness or whether they are rich, poor, old, young, gay, lesbian, or straight, no matter how old you are, whether you are a single parent or part of a married couple, or if you have a disability we are all equal when in your chosen place of worship.
In lots of places of worship it was until recently against the law for two men or two women to marry each other. It is now due to become law that two men or two women can be married in church, although lots of places of worship will be able to opt out of this law. (legislation.gov.uk 2013)
Lots of places of worship have prejudged and discriminated gay and lesbian couples by only following the way of their religious text. Lots of gay and lesbian couples feel discriminated against because they were not allowed to enjoy the equal marriage blessing from their places of worship.
If you don’t belong to any religious group, and you choose not to worship any supernatural being, then you could be labelled as a sinner, or a devil worshiper, by those who do.
Most hospitals in the United Kingdom have multi faith centres instead of different church’s or rooms for different religions. So all visitors have an equal opportunity to pray, or reflect or just think.
Where you live effects a lot of social factors in life from education, the parks we take our children to, the health care we receive and the people we are neighbours with and this can have an effect of equality for people.
