Abstract

Equality and freedom, even in contemporary times, are still polemical and controversial themes. In addition to this, we can add the idea of pluralism and, so, we´ll have a very complex portrait, but with a fundamental equilibrium if you want to go further to the most wanted values of a project of a very truly, inclusive and developed society. In this sense, we point specially the black people and affirmative action, as a good example to apply the ideas of freedom and equality
