Summary/Abstract: The main purpose of the article is to highlight the implications of equality and discrimination processes in education and to allow the development of the capacity to analyze social reality by integrating pro-equality and anti-discrimination perspectives in teaching methods. In this sense, I reviewed some of the sociological perspectives for understanding the mechanisms of equality and discrimination. I focused on the perverse effects to show how equality can lead to inequality, and I addressed the implications of symbolic violence in the process of reproducing social inequalities. At the end of the article I propose two pro-equality and anti-discrimination solutions: sociological imagination and socio-cognitive conflict.
