1. Inequality
People are unequal and we should not treat them equally.
What is equality? Equality is a state in which every living person is given the same number of
opportunity to vent out their ability to its fullest, regardless of gender, race, wealth, religion, and so
on.
However, in the world of capitalism and libertarianism, people cannot be equal. Each person is born
with different amounts of wealth and contrary aspects both physically and mentally, no matter how
much people fight for equal human rights. There is an increase in reported racial discrimination
cases, and still women in South Korea are less employed than men.
Capitalism was adopted by the government as a means to motivate people into working harder.

Punitive punishments for people who abused Black people have long been the norm. Industrial
tribunals throughout the country are still hearing racial discrimination cases on a daily basis. Race
discrimination cases have risen from 4,100 in 2007/8 to 5,000 in 2008/9 and 5,700 in 2009/10
Employment Tribunal and EAT statistics (2009–10) (GB) This trend can clearly be seen as a rise in
cases being brought before the tribunals. In another interview with a service user from the Power
House Foyer in Toxteth Liverpool. Nmono an asylum seeker from Uganda explained how she felt

As already stated before equality is an everyday part of our existence in society today and a great
deal of attention is paid to this part of our lives. Equality in the domestic home is rarely looked at or
does it receive any attention in law or government policies. If we look at the Victorian model of a
home we can see that the husband was expected to work, and the wife was expected to stay home.
The female of the house was also expected to cook, clean and care for the husband and children.
Very much as it remains to date. Inequality in the home has many downsides to it. The marriage will
not be an equal partnership. The female could feel undervalued, and

Inequality. The condition of being unequal. In "Indian Education" and "Mother to Son" Hughes and
Alexie's works explore these conditions of being unequal through the explanation of diverse
hardships that both of these adolescents experience due to the inequality that has been brought to
them by these privileged communities within society. Realizing this status of inequality in society at
a young age is a motive for Victor and the son to attempt to conform to these unreasonable standards
set forth by people's expectations. Both pieces make a point of becoming aware of the struggles that
have been thrown at these characters early in life, that aid in their survival to go against the odds put

At a young age the odds were already against these two characters given many obstacles whether it
be consonant to race or financial stance. Although Victor's obstacles are much different than the
ones that the son will be facing and has faced, both pieces come together to uncover the struggles
these characters have faced, but that what is more important is how these two characters overcome
it. "I was always falling down; my Indian name was Junior Falls Down" (Alexie). The names that
Victor is being called by his classmates represents how much he stood out in the eyes of the other
students and that because of his skin color he was seen less than the same when compared with rest
of them, even at a young age. But, despite the way these other students picked on Victor he still
went on to show them how he was more than the names they were calling him. In the end Victor
came out triumphant against his classmates. " tacks, splinters, boards torn up, and places with no
carpets on the floor" (Hughes 3–6). Alike to Victor the mother has had obstacles that she has had to
fight since the beginning of her journey through life like the absence of a father in her child's life
and never being financially adequate, but she goes on to tell her son that obstacles as difficult as

Imagine a world where you were limited to do certain things. A world where you couldn't be faster,

remember important memories of the past. As Barry Goldwater once said – "Equality, rightly
understood as our founding fathers understood it, leads to liberty and to the emancipation of creative
differences; wrongly understood, as it has been so tragically in our time, it leads first to conformity
and then to despotism." and well, the world with conformity and despotism, that's the type world

The true definition of equality has been misunderstood in these societies and formed a dystopia

them.
Equality, the harsh rules, and the secrecy negatively impact society in The Giver and proves that if
equality is wrongly understood, it can have a bad impact on society. The impacts are shown clearly
in many ways throughout the beginning of the novel in the society. The citizens all have to go
through a day when they are "a 12" when they get chosen for their jobs in the future. The
protagonist named Jonas is chosen to a very special job named the receiver. The point of this job is
to receive the memories of the past to keep them from being released to the society around. There
are many painful memories and happy ones. In one of his first happy memories, Jonas sees his first–
ever glimpse of color and starts to have different thoughts about the black and white world around
him. He reacts to the memory and says "'But I want them!'" Jonas said angrily. "'It isn't fair that

7. Inequality Vs Economic Inequality
In the last 50 years, economic inequality has continued to rise in the Land of Opportunity. More
specifically, the affluent have continued to accumulate wealth growing richer every year. From
countless coups, putsches, and revolutions it is easy to derive the compelling relationship between
political unrest and economic inequality. In translation, this current trend in capital is unsustainable
and could potentially lead to social turmoil. I am of the strong opinion that one of the greatest
challenges facing my generation will be to carry–out a sea–change in economic philosophy and to
balance wealth distribution to a point which is equitable while still incentivizing.
Laissez–faire economies will naturally diverge. In the absence of external shocks, the middle–class
diminishes over time while the wealthy will accumulate capital. In the past century, the American
middle–class benefited from the erosion of traditional powers in war–torn Europe and expansionary
policies passed during The Great Depression. These shocks allowed the US to grow a strong and
prosperous labor force. But as the United States entered the latter half of the 1970s, the growth of
real income began to stall and was no longer matching the growth of productivity. Although the
productivity/GDP still rose, growth is not a rising tide that lifts all boats. This bifurcation of income
and productivity was caused by automation, globalization and exasperated by conservative
economic policy. This bifurcation also

11. Economic Inequality, Inequality And Inequality
According to the OECD, the term inequality in the opposite of equity can be defined as evenness or
fairness within the social, political, and economic perspectives. Equity forms the core value of both
the western democratic tradition and religions. From the concept of equality, inequality can be
described as unfair or uneven treatments of the people within the society or unequal distribution of
resources, income, and other factors between different sectors in the society. Inequality can be
defined as the unfair or uneven conditions within the society, where some people control more
wealth, money, opportunities, income, as well as political favoritism than others (Stiglitz, 2013). For
some reasons, economists have included economic background of the people in the society as
another form of equality. Inequality comes in different forms: The different types of inequalities are
political inequality, inequality of outcome, economic inequality, Social inequality, and inequality of
opportunity (Clark 2015).
First, political inequality can be defined using either distributional or interdependency approaches.
With respect to distributional approach, political inequality is defined as structured differences
within the society in the acquisition and distribution of political resources. On the other hand,
interdependency approach defines this type of inequality as the influences that a person or persons
have on government legislation as compared to others (Stiglitz,

13. Harrison Bergeron : Equal Inequality
Felix Frankfurter once said "It is a wise man who said that there is no greater inequality than the
equal treatment of unequals." This quote relates to Harrison Bergeron because in the story Harrison
is trying to make the so called equal world inequal. Harrison Bergeron connects to the quote because
Harrison also believes that treating unequals equally is not right. The story begins when Mr. and
Mrs. Bergeron are upset because their son Harrison has been taken away from them. Although they
can not really be upset for very long because of their handicaps. These handicaps are used to make
the world equal which is impossible the world will never be 100% equal. Later on in the story
Harrison breaks free of jail and tries to overthrow the government. Therefore Harrison's motivation
is to make the society unequal and to get rid of handicaps, this shows that the world doesn't always
need to be equal because of the outbreaks it can cause.
To begin the story, Harrison, age 14, is taken away because he was under suspicion for planning to
overthrow the government. This government is not like any other government, they believe that
everyone needs to be equal, so they make certain people with greater intelligence wear handicaps.
These handicaps are placed in the ear and send out loud voices to interrupt one's thoughts so they
can not think about subjects for too long because being able to have more thoughts than others is
unequal. The government believes everyone should be equal but is that really ethical? "Everybody
was finally equal... due to the 211th, 212th, and 213th amendments of the constitution"(13). To
explain the quote the government has made strict laws that force one to wear his/her handicaps at all
times. Harrison on the other hand believe those higher in intelligence should not have to wear
handicaps and that the world should go back to being unequal. "Harrison Bergeron has just escaped
from jail where he was held on suspicion to overthrow the government.. he is a genius and an
athlete, is under handicapped, and should be regarded as extremely dangerous"(15). To further
discuss this idea, Harrison has escaped and is going to follow through with his plan to overthrow the

In regards to inequality, Bhagwati argues that the inequality, which has further been perpetuated by
economic globalization, is not a negative occurrence. . Critics of globalization usually point to
inequality as a reason to present objections to globalization, however, Bhagwati argues that
inequality is not bad at all. Even though economic globalization via trade and corporations will
generally benefit the country and lead to an increased GDP , some individuals will attain
significantly way more financial reimbursements than others. Bhagwati is against poverty but not
inequality. Bhagwati says "inequality is accepted because it excites not envy but aspiration and
hope. Capitalism's inequalities then become tolerable, not because the rich deny themselves self–
indulgence but because they make the poor fancy that these prices may come to them someday too
". Thus, inequality inspires people at the bottom end of the socio–economic status to work hard and
achieve living status mobility. Another reason why Bhagwati supports huge levels of inequality is
because it will lead to Altruism, hence a better society . If the inequality gap is not very high, people
who have money will spend it on themselves and their never ending desires rather than help poor
people members of society achieve class mobility . He referred to Bill gate to illustrate this point.

17. Gender Inequality And Gender Equality
Gender inequality is the state in which access to rights or opportunities is affected by gender. Gender
inequality is an issue not just nationally but globally. This issue is portrayed by the mistreating of
individuals, mainly women, and not valuing everyone as one. This presentation will illustrate the
exploration of gender equality, propose a solution and why that solution will produce a better future
for a better world.
Gender inequality is a very important issue common in our world today that refers to unequal
treatment or perceptions of individuals based on their gender. It arises from differences in socially
constructed gender roles as well as biologically through chromosomes, brain structure, and
hormonal differences. Gender inequality stems from distinctions, whether empirically grounded or
socially constructed. The only differences that men and women behold is their appearance and some
organs. Women have 1 brain and 1 heart which is the same as men but are still dehumanised. If our
world continues to carry out gender inequality, women won't have a voice to contribute to our
society and men will have the final choice and the freedom of speech. Out of the seven deadly sins,
two of the seven occur the most; Pride and Envy. Pride is shown by the man who thinks they're
superior to women. This is sometimes a result from Envy. Envy is seen when the man suffers from
jealousy about the woman and her possessions. He then treats her less than as a sign of

An Equally Faulted Inequality
With the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776 came more than solely the
independence stated in the "legal" document. The Declaration brought about a component of
equality unanticipated by any signer or drafter that would soon shape the future and the mindset of
many citizens. This sensation of equality spread rapidly through the country and could be seen in
different time periods throughout American history where a group of people realized the
government's failure to behave in such a way that reflects the words of the Declaration of
Independence, "...that all men are created equal...". Though no longer a thriving feeling today due to
our own natural human ability to dissolve equality in our quest for it, this sensation, while it lasted,
significantly benefitted the greater good of society.
How can one say that the sensation of equality had a negative impact on a country? Is this feeling
one that could in fact do more harm than good? One's perception of its affect depends solely on
one's place in America. The beneficiary of the feeling of equality would be those who were not
comfortable with their position in the country. By "not comfortable", I refer to those who were
forced to be content with their place in the social hierarchy. I compare these citizens to a child who

21. Inequality Vs Income Inequality
America having redeemed its democracy after the conclusion of the civil wars, it becomes
regrettable that it betrayed that it was going to reveal the same with the concentration of wealth.
However, how much it is inevitable to avoid inequality of income and wealth, the level of wealth
among those at the high ranks of the economic status points a potential threat to equality among all
the citizens of a nation. The issue is not whether income inequality is bad or good, the question of
contention is, and at what point does this inequality start to pose a threat to the equality of
opportunity and above all the democracy of a nation. America had reached that tipping point of
inequality that had never been seen during the Gilded Age of the 19th century. With inequalities as a
result of income levels, it was complicated to correct the dysfunctions of an economy. The office of
the Congressional budget pointed out that between 1979 and 2007, during the beginning of great
recession the income gap after payment of the transfers and federal taxes tripled; there was an
increase in the after tax. While this was happening, the medium household income was continuously
falling.
At the beginning of the 19th century, wealth had become highly concentrated than income. The
modern trend of wealth concentration posed a threat to the pillars of the American society, the
economy, the ideal of equal opportunity and above all the democracy of the United States of
America. With the concentration of wealth, there was the likelihood of consumers having low
purchasing power thus many businesses were likely to lack incentives for hiring workers. The rich
were spending small proportions of their income than the average class and the poor; this led to the
concentration of wealth at the top of the economy. Through this concentration of wealth at the top,
there was hampering of the upward mobility (Mehrotra, 25–61). Generally, low upward mobility is a
correlation of high rates of inequality. With the decline in the middle class and the dropping of the
medium household incomes, there were very remote possibilities of upward mobility. The
relationship between democracy and the then widening inequality was totally over shown in the
United States.

23. Inequality Vs Economic Inequality
To begin with, all men are not created equal, they live different lives and posses different abilities.
Although some people possess greater talents than others, no person is better than any other person;
such as a celebrity or a homeless person. People who possess great talents that are useful to society
are often accepted and more recognized, but then bring down those who are different as in color or
sex so that they may not practice their skills.
First of all, although the U.S. Constitution proffers equal rights to all, money is the source of power.
Consequently, when a person owns more money and they have skills that others don't, they usually
come on top begetting power and great influence in the world. Although there are many different
branches of inequality, two inequalities focused in this paragraph are social inequality and economic
inequality; which are closely related to one another. Furthermore economic inequality is the
difference found in various measures of economic well–being among individuals in a group, among
groups in a population, or among countries. To put it simply, economic inequality is the difference in
wealth of the people and of the world. Also, social inequality is the existence of unequal

25. Inequality : Inequality And Poverty
Inequality and poverty exist in our society because wealth and opportunity are inherited. If we all
entered the world with an equal amount of resources, some would still rise above others but
everyone would get the same chance to succeed in life. Since greed is one of the norms of our
society, and wealth is passed from generation to generation, there will always be inequality and
poverty. The system of wealth and inequality is actually pretty simple. It all boils down to a few
things what you start with and how much you earn. Also, what you save and at what rate does your
saving return and even greater profit. No one policy can single–handedly beat inequality the roots of
the problem extend into the very structure of our economy. However, there are means by which we
can change the system of inequality by looking at previous history and the current world today.
Today, we live in the richest country in the history of the world, but that reality means little because
much of that wealth is controlled by a tiny handful of individuals. The issue of wealth and income
inequality is one of the most prevalent issues affecting society today. In my opinion, one of the first
and best ways to help reduce inequality is simply redistribution. The objectives of income
redistribution are to increase economic stability and opportunity for the less wealthy members of

Social inequality in 1820s Social equality has been a goal of America since its very beginning.
However, it was only an intention to be socially equal, but not a goal. Social equality or the fact that

from hell and his own savagery. Social and Racial Equality in the south was incredibly hard to

man's help. On page 83 of The Mind of the South, W.J. Cash states, "The black man occupied the

role of a domestic animal, he was stripped of liberities, property, and will by the whites. The black
man PLAYED the role of a domestic animal, but he was not a domestic animal. The institution of

35. Economic Inequality And Political Inequality
Economic inequality, also known as income inequality, is the interval between the rich and the poor.
Economic inequality refers to how the total wealth in the United States is distributed among people
in a social class. It is needed and it is important but due to the major gap difference, it affects the
Democratic Party and in addition, it also affects Americans because they do not understand the
actual wealth distribution. It is a major issue in the United States because it affects other economic
classes besides the 1 percent by limiting the opportunities for social mobility and it hinders overall
growth, such as the 15 percent (46.2 million) of Americans that live below the federal poverty line,
which is concentrated in minority people and single female–headed household. A question that many
ask is if there is a connection between economic inequality and political inequality because lobbyist
and interest groups tend to play an important role due to their higher income and wealth. Having
high income and wealth gives them the power to have a stronger voice in politics, which grants
access to political decision–making, something people with low income do not have. Finally, social
movements have played in the past in trying to improve the plight of the poor and unprivileged in

Social inequality is defined as the set of unequal opportunities for different social classes or statuses
for various individuals within a group or society. It usually refers to people of distinct genders, ages,
and ethnicities. Many American's have experienced some type of social inequality throughout their
lifetime. America's gaping inequality is seen everywhere from education to the workforce. Society
tends to oversee inequality based on race, gender, and other social characteristics . Americans
believe that racial discrimination no longer hinders or affects the advancement of minorities. Racial
and ethnic actions are still being taken towards minorities in education, employment, housing,
arrests, and many other issues of society. Social inequality and discrimination towards minorities is
clear in everyday society. This can be seen by the way inequality is still persistent among the social
classes. Among these classes formed by society, minorities tend to be one of the most affected. This
is noticed by the way education remains segregated, the wage inequality, and the constant cycle of
poverty. Many have used their voice to shine light on these issues, articles and authors such as

Equality and justice are core values in modern democracies. Yet, we curiously accept massive levels

world with strong community spirit. Inequality and social problems are likely to be symptoms rather
than causes of countries lacking this cooperative attitude. The second side to the argument is that
inequality is itself unjust. However, few philosophers would claim justice or fairness relates only to
equality. There must also be an element of need or merit. Some people are simply more deserving.
Ability or willingness to work hard contributes to this merit. Additionally, not everyone requires the

discrimination no longer hinders or affects the advancement of minorities. Racial and ethnic actions
are still being taken towards minorities in education, employment, housing, arrests, and many other
issues of society. Social inequality and discrimination towards minorities is clear in everyday
society. This can be seen by the way inequality is still persistent among the social classes. Among
these classes formed by society, minorities tend to be one of the most affected. This is noticed by the
way education remains segregated, the wage inequality social prejudice in the workforce) and social
disparity (inequality Poverty). Many have used their voice to shine light on these issues, authors

The social issue of equality and inequality, has dated back to the beginning of time. Although there
is no way to find out, would one really think that cavemen would not fight about who got the most
food? Even children would argue if someone else has more crayons, or more toys. Everyone has
demanded equality at least once in their lifetime. Unfortunately inequality occurs more often than
equality, and this will never change. Race, sex, and religion are the three main points that occur
most often in today's society. If someone were to turn on the news, they would more than likely see
global issues on race, sex, religion, and their fight for equality. I will be discussing the similarities
and differences of equality and inequality through race, sex, and religion.
When someone thinks about the similarities of equality and inequality in a social setting, they might

either have equality, or they do not have it, and want it. Usually people have more courage in a
group, rather than alone. This is also a similarity with equality and inequality. "It is often groups that
rightfully raise the issue of an inequality between themselves and the rest of society" (Gosepath).

Inequality is a constant issue in our world today in social and job settings. Many people across the
world have very strong feelings about inequality and it is becoming an important issue. What some
people do not realize is that inequality has entered schools. In all schools there are different teaching
and class levels, and many students are not getting an equal opportunity in order to be successful in
the future. In some cases, this is due to money problems; but in other cases it might just be the
school and how it is run. Understandably, schools can not guide every student towards success;
however all students around the world are not given equal classroom opportunities in order to be
successful in their future.
Classroom opportunities are different all around the world and schools differ in the level of the
classes that are taught. Obviously, the schools in the United States do not get all the same classes as
schools in Europe. There are some schools in the world that do not let students take the type of
classes that is in the appropriate level or subject for their future. Fremont High, a school in
California, is one of these schools. One student was required to take a sewing class when she wanted

Is Inequality Natural? During the Enlightenment era, a critical concept addressed by many
prominent authors was the equality of humankind. In Enlightenment terms, inequality can be
defined as the difference in "qualities capable of demanding respect" (Rousseau 1995: 425), such as
strength or skill, as well as difference in civil rights and liberties of man. Both definitions will be
used in this essay, as well as how they are related. In Jean–Jacques Rousseau's Discourse on the
Origin of Inequality, nature, or the natural state of man, is portrayed as man before the rise of any
social order. This essay will analyze man in this natural state to determine that humans are naturally

The Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen (DRMC) states that, "Men are born and
remain free and equal in rights" (French Nat. Assembly 1995: 467). So, using this logic, yes,
humans are equal and entitled to the same rights and freedom of every other human being. Yet in
nature, there is nothing that necessarily protects those rights and freedoms. Who is going to stop a
stronger, more powerful enemy from ignoring these rights and enslaving those weaker than himself?
Thomas Paine answers this question in his essay entitled "African Slavery in America." He declares
that every man has "a natural, perfect right" to their freedom, and it is the job of the government to,
"set them free, and punish those who hold them in slavery" (Paine 1995: 647). Furthermore, the
DRMC states that "The aim of every political association is the preservation of the natural and
inalienable rights of man." It is the role of government to protect the rights of its citizens. Rousseau
held that this social order is a "sacred right which is the basis of all rights." He goes on to argue that
this right is not of nature, and must "be founded on conventions" (Rousseau 1995: 431). The only
rights that nature guarantees for someone are those that they can defend for themselves. Therefore,
by nature, rights are unequal from one being to the next, just as talents, strengths, and abilities are
unequal. However, a person's claim to a "social order" guarantees them a protection of rights and
freedoms that they can gain in no other way. Of course, during the time of these writings there were
oppressed members of society, that even though they did their part, did not receive these same
protections. In America alone, African–Americans, Native–Americans, women, etc. all were

Women. We are the subordinate class. Our portrayal in the real world has proven this 'fact' to many.
Many people ask how could a women even be considered an equal? With the lesser pay and respect
we are given, it is not very surprising this question is being asked. Yet we are also growing up in the
age of Oprah Winfrey, Hilary Clinton, Malala Yousafzai who all represent the strong and
empowering qualities women hold. They fought to have a say, and now hold the respect of
thousands. So the real question one must ask is not regarding how women can be considered equal,
it is regarding as to why we are considered as lesser after having accomplished just as much as men,
if not more? The gender gap places woman on a lower pedestal. We are continually receiving less
pay, despite possessing similar knowledge and capabilities as men. An article from the World
Economic Forum stated that the pay gap is widening and having the opposite effect than planned
"despite [the] numerous initiatives to break glass ceilings and force salary disclosure." This pressing
issue is in dire need of a resolution. The gender gap not only threatens women's individual rights, it
violates the equal protection clause under the fourteenth amendment which promises to protect
women from sex discrimination. With the equal protection clause in place that specifically declared
the "equal protection of the laws," one would have hoped that gender equality fell within this
criteria, however that is not the case.

Women as a whole experience the gender pay gap but there is also a racial pay gap. A woman makes
77 cents for every dollar a Caucasian man makes.
Last year when looking at median hourly pay, black workers earned $18.49 an hour. White workers
earned an average of $25.22 an hour. Caucasian women make about 75 cents to every dollar a
caucasian man makes. Asian women make an average of 85 cents to every dollar a caucasian man
makes. For black, Latina, and Native women, that number is significantly lower. On average, Latina
and black women who are low–wage earners and work full time live below the poverty line. White
men who are low–wage earners and work full time live above the poverty line.

In terms of social division, according to Oxford (2013), "social mobility has fallen rapidly in many
country as inequality has grown." Oxford (2013) argues that the wealthy focus only on better
education and healthcare for their own families, rather than helping "public services or paying the
taxes to support them." If the division continues, then there will be a side of "social ills, including
violence, mental health, crime and obesity." Oxford (2013) also states that "unequal societies" not
only negatively affect the poor, but also affect the rich.
Environmental destruction, according to Oxford (2013), comes from inequality because the wealthy
"have been estimate to use as much as 10,000 times more carbon than the average US citizen."
There is also the issue of monopoly, where "resources like land and water" are reserved from
potential societal good. Resources become more "scarce." Oxford (2013) states that if societies were
more equal, then they would be better equipped to deal with natural disasters, as well as "carbon
emissions."

physical health United States. If there was a more equal United States, then people are predicted to
live almost a year, or more longer (The Equality Trust, 2014). Mental health is also a part of the

Inequality has been shown throughout American history and has affected various countries including
the United States. The two forms of inequality this paper will address are global and social
inequality. Social inequality refers to the distribution of resources based on socially defined
characteristics, while global inequality is the systematic differences in wealth and power between
countries. Children living in poverty don't have the same opportunities as those who live in a higher
income county. Discrimination, segregation, and unequal distribution of income and resources have
caused inequalities to form. These two types of inequality are still affecting our society today and
making it difficult for people to strive for a better future.
Inequality is different within different countries. High income countries are usually the ones that
were industrialized first. Industrializing is a process that began two hundred years ago in England
and later spread to the United States, Canada, and the rest of Europe. (World Bank, 2007). High
income countries have a large and growing amount of poor people, but unlike the lower income
countries they offer decent housing, adequate food, drinkable water, and other comforts. Some of the

Income Inequality Income inequality has been a major concern around the world, and it mainly links
to how economic metrics are distributed among individuals in a country. Economists generally
categorise these metrics in wealth, income and consumption. Wilkinson and Picket (2009) showed
in their studies that inequality has drawbacks that lead to social problems. This is because income
inequality and wealth concentration can hinder or delay long term growth. In 2011, International
Monetary Fund economists showed that less income inequality increased the duration of countries'
economic growth spells more than free trade, low government corruption, foreign investment or low
foreign debt (Berg and Ostry, 2011). This essay will be structured as follow: 1– Theoretical
Analysis: showing reasons that cause income inequality. 2– Empirical evidence. 3– Possible policies
to solve the inequality problems. 4– Conclusion. 1. Theoretical Analysis An important factor in the
creation of inequality is variation in individuals' access to education (Becker, et. Al, 2007).
According to Bosworth et. Al, (1999) education in a field that requires or demand a high number of
workers, creates high wages for those with advance education. As a result, those who are unable to
afford good quality education or choose not to participate in schools or colleges, generally receive

No society will ever be equal. Questions surrounding inequality in modern times are not just "Is

"Where are inequalities most prevalent?" We as a society tend to be uncomfortable with the notion
that ascribed characteristics such as race help determine our life chances. One of the most curious
developments which as occurred over the recent years is how our social institutions have become
more open to those who they previously excluded, yet at the same time inequality has increased
(Kahn 2011, p. 122).

But, There are also many similarities between them. The way that the two are similar is that you can
solve both problems the same way, for example:
If you had 2x + 2 = 10
You'd solve it by subtracting 2 with 10, which would result in an 8.
2x + 2 = 10
2x = 8
After this, you'd divide 2 with 2, and 2 with 8, which would give you a 4.
So the answer would be X = 4. So 4 would be the only answer.

Despite the two having a couple differences and a couple similarities, both can be used in the world
around us, since, depending on the symbol you use, you'd still get the same answer nonetheless.
However, there still are more differences between the two.
Even if you do the Math equation the same, the symbols can cause the answer to shift, and make it
so the two aren't the same.
For example:
78. If you used 12x + 6 = 6 (2x+1 )
You'd start by multiplying the 6 by 2, since the 6 is next to a parenthesis symbol, which would give
you 12, and you'd multiply the 6 with 1, which would give you 6 in return.
12x + 6 = 6 (2x+1)
12x + 6 = 12x+6
