What is emotional equality?

For me it started when I was a Children and I had issues with the education system with my dyslexia, the day I had my daughter and when I acquire my disability. The emotional, physical, and psychological stereotyping of those issues begins when the system says: you don’t fit in.

Emotional Equality for me is about taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase. We only mention it when we encounter it. So just take the first step.

For many of us, given the social and personal cost of the emotional effect of equality and recognise the complexity of emotion this happens all the time when we probe into the subject of equality. In some people, this may be especially strong, so their emotions are being triggered in ways that prevent them having insight into what they are doing especially around the area of equality.

When we look at it in the emotional equality sense.

• When we see and read headlines like ‘White working class 'losing out'.
• White working class people are losing out on several fronts, from education to housing, a report argues.

The current school system is skewed in favour of giving more opportunities to middle class children, the report by the Runnymede Trust says. It says white working class children are considered more likely to fail and face more barriers to high achievement.

White working class ‘losing out’ were does this leave people marginalised and push to the arms of The "BNP threat cannot be ignored", their spread division and despair within society.

What is being triggered off here?

Just answer these following questions

• Do emotions reflect personal experience of circumstance of equality?
• Does everyone feel some emotion on equality?
• What shapes our canvass on equality?
• Does our experience alter how we perceive emotion around equality?
• How does emotion rule the brain?

Emotion rules the brain:

Emotion defines who we are to ourselves as well as to others. They are at the core of many psychiatric disorders and their can also alter our physical well being. If we look at the work of Paul Ekman carry this work on further. Contrary to the belief of some anthropologists including Margaret Mead, Ekman found that facial expressions of emotion are not culturally determined but universal to human culture and thus biological in origins as Charles Darwin had once hypothesizes.

All emotions are positive in the same way that happiness, pleasure, joy is. They are all there to push us towards either protecting ourselves, becoming more thoughtful, more honest, more balanced, more fulfilled.

There is no such thing as a “negative” emotion. An emotion is not a thought which can be wrong. But neither are emotions irrational they is what Antonio Domasio calls “somatic marker” Basically this mean they mark something out for your notice. In that way they serve the same role as the pain in your foot could tell you your shoes are too tight or the rumbling in your stomach that tells you it is time to eat.

So emotions are cues to action.

Now this is where some people can misunderstand or mismatch the emotion they mistake the out of place expression of the emotion which comes out of the wrong area of the brain for the emotion itself. We as people are conditioned into seeing emotions as “bad” or “wrong” because we have watched other people do damaging things when they get emotional. But emotions don’t encourage us to be destructive – just honest.

So when we look at equality how honest are we as people when discussing these issues. However, it is a wakeup call to stay on track with the strands of age, gender, race, and religious belief, sexual orientation.
