Egalitarianism

Egalitarianism (derived from the French word égal, meaning "equal"),has two distinct definitions in modern English. It is defined either as a political doctrine that holds that all people should be treated as equals and have the same political, economic, social, and civil rights or as a social philosophy advocating the removal of economic inequalities among people In modern cultures, peoples tend to be divided into upper or lower classes. However, before the relatively recent agricultural revolution, humanity existed in primarily hunter-gatherer societies that,some believe, were at least largely egalitarian. It is considered by some to be the natural state of society.
