There are several factors that influence equity. Those are social, economic, political, and educational reform. I think these factors do effect how students are perceived and educated. We often compare ourselves to the people who surround us , family, classmates, and community. Socially we take on values or views from them. In order to assess we have to understand how these factors can be changed to insure digital equity. When digital equity is present there are no barriers of race, income level, or who your family is. I guess the bad part would be not being able to have it in all parts of a community. When you do not have access to something that someone else has you fall behind.
