Equality
Also known as egalitarianism, equality is concerned with the belief that nobody should be discriminated against due to a priori factors; gender, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability or other physical factors (ie eye colour, height, etc). However equality does not cover discrimination based on ideology, political affiliation or religious beliefs.
