Is inéquity in society inevitable?
Depending on what we are, the answers may well vary, and they all make sense, but in my view, inéquity is an inevitable aspect of human society, at least in a capitalist society. Now let me explain the details.
First, social inéquity has always existed throughout history. In addition, as globalization progresses, the world is full of diverse ideologies, religions, and political perspectives. And we know that people don’t always agree, and that it is hard for them to overcome their differences and show respect. This makes solving inéquity difficult.
Next, globalization has widened the wealth gap across the world. For example, big companies are becoming wealthier, while billions of individuals remain poor. In addition, capitalism, the current top economic system, concentrates on making money and amassing wealth, rather than achieving social equity.
Therefore, I would have to conclude that inéquity is inevitable in our society today. However, the UN Sustainable Development Goals have listed ‘reducing inéquity’ as one of their key challenges. So, all UN member countries must come together and work to overcome inéquity in society. Thank you for your attention. [183 Words Type-G]
