In the United States, social equity is said to be the fourth pillar of public administration which entails access to affordable housing for populations that are disadvantaged. This is because with the man forms of social inequities that have been experienced before, the minority group end up being the victims. In cases where the government allows for environmental inequities, they further lead to health inequities, thus affecting the life chances of the citizens, more so, the minority populations. Social equity is an important issue of concern in America’s public administration because all along, there have been inequities that have led to predictable patterns, that are maintained from one generation to the other. Specifically, education, housing and environment have been the most sensitive forms through which social inequity has been experienced (Bonilla-Silva, 2006).

For equality and equity to be achieved among all races, without there being a saturation of racial inequity like the current one, elected officials need to initiate a form of public administration where all citizens are treated equally, irrespective of their race. All public administrators, elected officials, researchers and the public as well need to join hands to ensure administrations that treat all American citizens equally through equal allocation of resources and other rights so as to reduce the rampant cases of social inequities (Gooden, 2015).

Lessons Learnt

The most important lessons learned about the relationship between government organizations and their subjects who are minority populations are that; the government tries its level best to consider structural equities when during policy formulation. Earlier on, the minority populations have been worst hit because the current delivery and development of U.S policy in every context is aiming to eradicate any form of social inequity. So as to do away with these forms of inequity, all that the government needs to do is formulate policies that take into consideration the minority groups so as to eradicate the racial inequities that are so rampant, to an extent that their existence is seen as normal paradoxically (Frazier et al,2010).
