What does inequality look like to you?

It is a centuries old problem, this inequality we speak of. From the Feudal system to the ascribed status one achieves; simply by being born into an ‘important’ family. But how does one break the barrier/s? If there is a ‘glass ceiling’ in women's’ achievement, then how do we have such inspirational leaders within our society?

What do Americans and Europeans see as the greatest threat now facing the world? A recent survey by the Pew Research Center found that the most common answer is inequality—ranking above religious and ethnic hatred, pollution, disease and nuclear weapons. Pope Francis has called economic inequality “the root of social evil,” and inequality was a major theme in the last presidential election, with different solutions offered up by candidates of the left and right.

Who are the people in your lives which make you believe that there are only boundaries and not barriers? 100 years ago, would we have seen Mrs Jenner being as successful as she is? Or are the inequalities within our society just transferred to different groups within society?

Would society really work as a functional society if we were all equal? Let me know what you think! sgarip@rodingvalley.net

Hong Kong’s huge protests, explained

Black Lives Matter protests around the world, explained

The worst civil unrest in decades erupted in cities across the U.S. and the rest of the world this weekend as anger sparked by the death of a black man, George Floyd, in Minneapolis police custody touched off demonstrations nationwide.

Is this a reaction to inequality? How so? Use your critical thinking skills and make sure you use Barnard and Turner (2011) on racism. How can we, in the UK, use The Swann Report to make sense of the institutional racism minorities go through everyday?

The Hong Kong protests are the most serious challenge to China's authority since the Tiananmen Square massacre. The 1997 agreement handing Hong Kong back from Britain to China promised 50 years of uninterrupted semi-autonomy for Hong Kong under the “one country, two systems” principle. With its announcement Beijing has been accused of trying to pave the way for a law outlawing acts of subversion, separatism, “acts of foreign interference” and terrorism against the central government, charges that have been used against political dissidents and opponents in mainland China. It would also allow Beijing to install its own security agencies in Hong Kong.
