The Inequalities Present in the World

Source

With this theme of the Covid-19, a new topic arises to discuss and study, and it is the Inequalities, which unfortunately, instead of being extinguished, continue to arise, and that is why we see the need to talk about this. To talk about inequality is to talk about that lack of balance between two or more people, when a gap arises, which undoubtedly differentiates us from each other, the curious thing is that it presents itself in different facets:

Social Inequality 

Today we see that those people who are better off socially, economically and even politically are treated better than those who do not have many resources, and their social status is the lowest. This is Social Inequality, when in a country not all citizens are treated the same, when you are ignored because you have a different religion, or because you have a different sexual orientation, or even because you have a different culture. This is one of the great evils of the world, not accepting everyone equally, no matter how much you have or how you think. However, it is more noticeable when that individual does not have great economic resources.

Economic Inequality 

Today in our countries we see a big difference when it comes to money, not everyone has the same earnings, and let's be honest, this is not about whether a person studied or not, because we see doctors who in their work is saving lives, and it is the case that their salary is a misery, and the same for educators, without them we would not have training, without them we could not have professions, then that is where this Inequality comes into play, because not everyone has access to the goods and services of a country, but we see some politicians, who are dedicated to lying and stealing, but their salary is higher than other public employees, to be more explicit, while some are only dedicated to embezzlement, and earn more than $500 a month, there are public employees, who dedicate their lives to their work, and do not generate even $50 a month. This inequality is one of the most regrettable, because with this pandemic, and according to figures given by the Economists, the wage and economic gaps, increased, to the point that in the following years, we will see an increase of poor people.

Educational Inequality 

Very well, to summarize, we have a Social Inequality, we do not receive the same treatment as other people, now let's add to that, an Economic Inequality, we are not receiving the same income, despite having a "good job", now comes another Inequality, the Educational Inequality, if you do not have sufficient resources, you cannot aspire to have a quality education, will not have the same opportunities as people who do have these resources, and many of us see this in countries where poverty is abundant. Unfortunately, many people have to make do with what they have, they can't aspire to more because they don't have enough money, or live in the most privileged area, so this gap is created between those who can aspire to be in an educational center that has quality, highly prepared teachers, where the individual will leave with a good academic foundation. And this is not a question of whether the institution is private or public, because in the case of public schools, where the level of quality is higher than in private schools, it is even more a question of the environment and geographical location. That is why it is necessary to change this division, and that everyone equally, opt for a good education, which prepares us for the future.

Gender Inequality

It is one of the most talked about, exposed and denounced today all over the world, it is the case that many women, regardless of their country of origin, do not get the same salary and benefits as men, that is why we ask ourselves; Are women inferior? is that we do not understand, so silly thought, because they can not earn the same salary, if they are as capable as a man, are equal or more intelligent, however not only this happens with women, now took it to another level, and is that we see inequalities in the issue of opportunities, with people who have a different sex, simply because they think or are different, they are denied access to many benefits, we see with much disappointment, attitudes and facts like those we mentioned, because everyone is capable of giving the best of himself, regardless of sex, race, color, ethnicity, culture. What matters are your qualities, skills and intelligence. 

Legal Inequality 

Talking about this inequality is quite controversial, because it is when the laws and/or courts of a country favor one group of individuals, but not others, and it is seen a lot in countries with a high rate of corruption. However, this is also present in the issue of immigration, not all immigrants who arrive in a country obtain the same legal requirements for access to the health or educational system, which for nationals of that place, unfortunately is present in the case of Venezuelans, who flee the situation that occurs in the country, and when they arrive in another nation, begin a long struggle to receive medical care and access to the educational system, unfortunately is one of the inequalities that is present in the vast majority of countries.

Inequalities have quite serious and devastating consequences, both personally and socially. That is why we see a great movement of migrants in the world, fleeing their countries, because of so many inequalities, they migrate, in search of a better future, in search of a place where they feel good, where equality prevails, and can build a promising present and future. The levels of poverty are increasing, it is a pity that we forget many things to focus on this Pandemic, however this is temporary, poverty, inequalities are not. We hope that this post has been to your liking, happy day.
