Lesson Proper

Social inequality is the existence of unequal opportunities and rewards for

different social status or positions within a group or society social. A similar situation is
faced by the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community (LGBTQ), who are
often discriminated and ridiculed by society which considered them aberrations or forms
of deviancy. Members of the LGBTQ community is struggling to win recognition for their
civil rights, such as the right for same-sex marriage that have already been granted in
other countries
Human rights are rights inherent to all human beings. No matter what our
nationality is, what color our skin is, what status we have in the society, etc., we are all
equal. These rights are all interrelated, interdependent and indivisible.
Ethnic minorities are also discriminated. They are often discriminated by the people
who do not understand their cultures and traditions.
There are policies crafted by the legislators to address this social inequality. Some of
which are: Indigenous People’s Rights Act that protects the rights of cultural communities;
the law that protect the rights of the person with disabilities (PWD). RA 10754 – An Act
Expanding the Benefits and Privileges of Persons with Disability (PWD); and the like. Why
discrimination still exist?

GLOBAL INEQUALITY
Inequality does not exist only in localities and states but also among states.
There are states that are influential, wealthy and powerful. This leads to a situation of
global inequality; where poor has less power and rich is powerful.
Global inequality (also sometimes referred to as international inequality) can be
defined as the unequal distribution of material resources and income across countries.
Apart from economic figures, global inequality may also refer to the access to medical
care and also to education. According to the global wealth report of Global Suisse, half of
the worldwide wealth is owned by the richest 1% of people. This also implies huge
international inequality which has many adverse consequences.

The following are the important global inequality facts:

1. In 2018, the richest 26 people owned as much wealth as the 3.8 billion poorest
people, Half of humanity lives of less than 5.50 USD per day in 2018.
2. Global wealth worldwide amounts to 361 trillion USD in 2019
3. There are 47 million millionaires worldwide in 2019
4. The average wealth per capital amounts to 70,849 USD in 2019
5. It is estimated that total global wealth increases to 459 trillion USD until 2024
6. 56% of the worldwide population owns wealth less than 10,000 USD in 2019
7. Less than 11% of the global population owns more than 100,000 USD in wealth in
2019.
8. The 10% richest people own 84% of overall global wealth in 2019
9. The richest 1% of people owned around 45% of overall global wealth in
2019.

The following are the causes for global inequality

7. Political goals 1. Insecurity regarding property

rights
8. Exploitation of poor countries 2. Low investment incentives for
9. Tax avoidance firms
3. Low living quality
10. Lack of education
4. Regional factors
11. Lack of innovation 5. Conflicts, Famine
6. Consumption behavior and
12. Gender inequality Natural disasters.

Global inequality is a big problem that has many severe adverse effects for poor

countries and the people living in those regions. Global inequality can be either caused by

human actions or also by natural circumstances.

In order to fight international inequality, it is crucial that countries all over the world work

together and share their newest research findings with each other.

Moreover, rich countries are in charge to provide financial subsidies for poor countries

in order to enable poor countries to progress. You can also contribute to a reduction in

inequality in your daily life by changing your consumption behavior.

All these actions can lead to a state where global inequality is reduced significantly and

people all over the world will benefit from the positive related effects.
