How was the Medieval concept of power and equality different from our contemporary concept?

The medieval concept of power and equality is very different than our concept today. In medieval times people were born into their class and that decided the amount of power they had. Today everyone has an equal chance to succeed in life and have a lot of power. In the medieval times you weren't given a chance the chance was given to you based on your heritage. We have the idea of equality in our lives today. We are not categorized into groups like they were in the medieval times. Not everyone was treated equal because some people were in a higher class. Today by law everyone is treated equally and there is no discrimination. Today is different because we are given equal opportunities and not treated based on our heritage and family background.
