to tailor social arrangements to their own advantage

[Lena432]

Вопрос:

Arbitrary differences produced by accidents of birth are held to be unfair, and by imposing a situation of ignorance no one is able to tailor social arrangements to their own advantage.

Вариант:

Случайные отличия, возникшие на фоне разного происхождения, рассматриваются как несправедливые; навязывая ситуацию невежества, никто не способен (???)

Хелп!:)

Lena432, instead of imposing this situation of ignorance and to avoid arbitrary differences produced by accidents of opinionated answers, it would be to your own advantage to tailor this questioning arrangement to the audience's level of subject matter knowledge. Другими словами, Kонтекст, please!

In his essay, entitled 'Does Inequality Matter', Miliband charts the social developments which have led to inequality all but disappearing as practical political issues. The rise of the New Right, the fall of Communism and the march of globalisation have all contributed to the creation of a more individualistic and fragmented society. Traditional forms of social solidarity and mechanisms of cohesion have been undermined. In going on to argue why inequality does indeed matter, Miliband makes two sets of arguments. The first are standard procedural arguments, which appeal to the same intuitions that Rawls sought to capture when he argued that we should think what principles of social justice would be chosen by individuals situated behind an imaginary 'veil of ignorance', unaware of the position that they would occupy in a future society. Arbitrary differences produced by accidents of birth are held to be unfair, and by imposing a situation of ignorance no one is able to tailor social arrangements to their own advantage. More interesting than these, however, are the consequential arguments that Miliband goes on to offer. Rather than focusing on whether inequalities are unjust in themselves, these look towards the consequences. Here we find arguments about the deleterious effects of inequality in terms of individuals' sense of self-respect, affected by their relative position vis-à-vis others in society, and the way in which inequality undermines community by producing social atomisation.
