the DD102 module materials and your work on TMA 01, outline some examples of inequality on City Road, Cardiff. In this essay I intend to expand further on my initial observations noted in TMA01, surrounding the concept of inequality and how it manifests on City Road in a manner of ways. TMA01 establishes inequality as “the unequal distribution of valued resources” (Blakeley and Staples 2014, p13). Examples of inequalities arise through wealth,age,class,disability and race. Through my comprehension

Since the recession that began in 2008, the issue of income inequality has been a central tool of political strategizing. Progressives have used the issue as a sword against conservatives, accusing the latter not only of indifference toward the plight of working Americans but of actually welcoming the widening gulf between rich and poor, as if conservatives want nothing more than to see the wealthy become wealthier, even if it is at the expense of the poor. At the same time, however, conservatives

growing, the wealthy people are also on the rise. Sklar is surely right about the gap between the rich and the poor. It is a significant issue for us to know about such inequality. During hard times, the rich still can have their benefit. However, the people who really need money cannot get any help from the rich. While economic inequality has existed over time and occurs in more nations than simply the United States. Some balanced and fair intermediary institution is required to solve the growing problem

benefits of this growth have not been distributed equitably. Inequality, which was already high, has increased even more. India's Gini coefficient, the official measure of income inequality, has gone up from 0.32 to 0.38 in the last two decades. For example, about 50 percent of children in India are malnourished due to pervasive poverty. Trickle-down economics are not working. The proposed law does not go far enough in reducing inequality and helping the disadvantaged. Without a coercive enforcement

I watched “Inequality for All” this week. It is a documentary film directed by Jacob Kornbluth in 2013 and the author is Robert Reich. I watched the film on Thursday, July 23, 2015, I watched it on my computer and I was watching it at home. It is about the American middle class wages declining, profitability in a 90-minute documentary, through a series of lectures interpreted by Robert Reich. Being a narrator, Reich always makes jokes on himself about his height, and he also presents those difficult

To further explicate on why the middle class structure has diminished, let us take a look at what other resources are saying about the problem and why this problem is worth rectifying. Back in 2007 and 2008, the household income in the United States at both the national and state levels started to adjust. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the median household income in the United States for 2007 was $52,673 (Semega, 4). This data excluded any of the residents living in school dormitories and

There are several reasons which leads to the rising of wealth and income inequality. The first reason is outsourcing becomes more popular in many countries including Canada, because of the development of technology and globalization. Nearly 130 positions in the Toronto financial department of CIBC outsourced to Indian employees (cbc news,2017). It is clearly that this phenomenon eliminates available jobs to Canadian employees. The question is how students can afford to pay the debt from their education

One of the fundamental spirit of American culture is social mobility, where it used to be a place of opportunity for the hard working people to find a successful life. However, since the early 1980’s income inequality has been increasing rapidly as proved by the forever widening gap between the country productivity and hourly earnings of a typical American worker. In fact, according to the Congressional Budget Office income distribution report, from 1979 to 2007 the average real after-tax household
