Concluding remarks
Historically, academia has lacked in diversity and equality of
opportunities due to an unfair process through which academic
institutions select and distribute goods. I proposed that integrating
the body of literature in human developmental ecology with the theory of
justice by John Rawls creates a novel framework that addresses the
unfairness in academia. This framework can be implemented in other
contexts, such as in the job selection for industry and
(non-)governmental position. I am aware that the framework in this paper
is likely to encounter fierce criticism and may, ultimately, be render
useless and abandoned. Thus, I hope that the framework proposed here
generates debates that ultimately leads to an academic environment with
fair equality of opportunities to all.
