Gen005 - Quiz 3 Answer Key

I. Identify: EQUITY VS.
EQUALITY
Analyze the situations below and identify if it is equity or equality.
Low-income students in a Prince George’s County neighborhood do not have access to the
internet and don’t own computers, making it difficult for them to complete lessons and
homework assignments through their school’s virtual, at-home school year during the
pandemic. On the other hand, other students throughout the county have affordable access
to Wi-Fi, laptops and other needed digital tools to succeed in school. A local nonprofit
allocates funds to give each student in the county a laptop, but because they do not have
enough funds to supply both laptops and hotspots to every student, they are unable to
provide any student with a Wi-Fi hotspot. The students that did not have internet access
beforehand in their homes now have a laptop but still cannot access their school’s virtual
classrooms and therefore miss lessons and homework assignments throughout the school
year. - EQUALITY
Leaders in the National Capital Area host an information meeting for all community members
on the COVID-19 pandemic, testing, vaccinations and more. They host this event multiple
times in different languages including English, Spanish and Korean to serve all major
populations. This way, everyone hears the same information in their native or primary
language. - EQUITY

this data and allocates funds to supply the students without internet access with Wi-Fi
hotspots and laptops but does not give hotspots or laptops to the students who already have
access to these tools. Now, all students have the tools they need in order to succeed in a
virtual learning environment. - EQUITY
Leaders in the National Capital Area host an information meeting for all community members
on the COVID-19 pandemic, testing, vaccinations and more. They only host the meeting once,
and it is only held in the English language. There are no translators or separate meetings for
residents who do not speak English or speak English as a second language, isolating a large
population of the National Capital Area from receiving important and potentially life-saving
health information. - EQUALITY
When a company identifies an individual’s needs and obstacles based on ethnicity, race,
gender, gender identity, disabilities, and other factors. Once those needs are identified, they
must be considered in decision-making related to inclusivity and diversity in the workforce. -
