Natural Inequalities:
Natural inequalities are always there but the state's positive intervention has reduced the effects of these natural inequalities.
The development of scientific tests to determine the inherent traits of individuals helped society to get the best services from different individuals.
Every individual must understand their true potential and limitations according to their different physical, mental and emotional traits.
Social inequalities:
There is a debate that inequality is natural because nature has endowed different men with different capabilities. We see someone as a gifted poet, other as a musician and some other as an engineer. A gifted poet or musician is the result of a child's first positive exposure to such a profession or close contact and guidance of persons of such professions. Natural traits matter upto a limited mark rest is perseverance and guidance of learned persons.
This debate is also called nature vs. nurture. Nature has endowed everyone with equal qualities but the circumstances in which an individual is born determines his capabilities. A poor mother always gives birth to a malnourished, distressed child. We only think about the child's surrounding after birth but before birth, (in the womb) conditions determines his/her future. A poor overworked pregnant mother never feels a moment of joy during the entire pregnancy due to her hard life conditions.
The inequalities that seem quite natural can be altered with the positive intervention of the state.
