Economic Inequality In Society

We live in a world where our society is unfair, cruel and shameful. With three main classes of society, it is easy to imagine how unequal the economy can be. There are a lot of people who live their lives on the high end of the scale; spending, overusing and wasting with no idea just how much they have and, how lucky they are. Beneath the rich class there is the middle class; the people who get by in life, they can afford what they need with some extra things at times. Then there are the poor citizens, the homeless and the lower class group of individuals. They are the classified group of our world who are barely able to survive each and every day, living pay check to pay check, giving them not even a chance to think about wasting money on …show more content…

We may not be able to fix many things about economic inequality, however something we can do is help the lower class of individuals who want nothing more than to be educated so they can do what we do for ourselves. When we send money and resources over to these poor countries or give it to those in need in our own countries we only temporarily fix the problem. What we must do is educate them, teach them how to fend for themselves because the things we give will only help them for a little while. An old saying states “give a man a fish he will eat for a day, teach a man to fish he will eat for a life time” (unknown), and that is exactly what we need to do. We have to teach them how to hunt for food, get clean water, build safe shelters and most importantly, we have to teach them how to develop their countries as we did to ours. If we do these things, then they
