Are all people equal in essence?

Answer

That is a very relative thing, and a matter of personal interpretation. I think it is important to elaborate on "essence", and what it includes. It is proven that our minds function differently, that there is, in that sense, a difference between genders, races and roots. However, one can claim that many people have the same moral and ethical values, also most people do certain things simply to survive (eat, drink, reproduce).

The notion that people are different in the sense it is being used today is in many ways a result of differing cultures, as well as living in a society where individuality is to a certain extent encouraged.

In my opinion there is no things as two people being in essence equal, or identical. And, unfortunately, no one can tell you. Reading a bit of epistemology, however, and maybe Plato, might help.
