Education for all allows the whole of society to accept and understand specific expectations to live by. They would be taught about the structure of government, and the role the institution plays in supporting citizen’s natural born rights and their wants. By having education be openly mandatory, it would eliminate racial prejudice, therefore abolishing minority groups. John Rawl’s theory of the veil of ignorance in Justice as Fairness, supports the elimination of sexist, racial and economic discrimination. Behind the veil, there would not be a noticeable difference in traits, only in intellectual capabilities.

Although social equality in a dystopia is unlikely, one’s skills could be used to benefit the whole of society, not just for the individual. Citizens would be provided with roles that match their talents due to supply and demand, therefore, unemployment is negligible.
