What is highly egalitarian society means?
Answer:
The word "egalitarian" is related to the word "equality". A highly egalitarian society is one in which people are regarded as being fundamentally equal and having equal rights to representation, education, employment, etc.
The term "egalitarian society" implies that this state of affairs arises from the attitudes of the people and is not imposed externally upon them by statute. For example, despite the existence of federal laws making blacks and whites legally equal, the American South in, say, 1880 was NOT an egalitarian society.
