way of thinking, acting and feeling that characterise the humankind, particularly in
contrast with the other living creatures (Batson et al. 2016). It is often said that human
beings are social animals. The four very basic social instincts of human beings are the

Equality and equity are two completely different strategies that we can make use of in
an effort for producing fairness. Equality refers to the task of treating every one
equally and it is basically aimed at promoting fairness. On the other hand, equity
means giving every person what they need in order to be successful. For instance, a
turkey is carved at the dinner table. Equality in this case would mean that everyone
including the father, mother and the child would get same sized piece. On the other
hand, equity would mean that each one of them choose the sensible option and divide
the turkey in accordance to their needs, that is, the larger sized piece for the adults and

thinking, uncertainty might led to poor decision making and thinking. It can hamper
the intensity and relevance of the decisions that are made or thoughts that are show
