According to Walt Whitman, an American poet and essayist that lived from 1819 to 1892, both have equal value. Whitman had a horizontal view of society. He felt that everyone was equal and that there should be no hierarchy. Whitman felt that status was unimportant because everyone has ability to reach that point and beyond. Our society encourages a vertical view or the traditional hierarchy of society where some have more wealth and power than others.
