Consumer Wealth Analysis

When considering different aspects that contribute to understanding why and how it is just to re-distribute citizens’ wealth to those less fortunate, we need to analysis it from many different starting points. Firstly, to examine people born into circumstances which allow them an advantage, such as status, wealth and power, or born with the disadvantage of not having these inherit criteria, these can be seen as an unfair advantage or unfair disadvantage depending which side you originate (Moriarty, 2002). Additionally, we need to look at this issue of spreading the wealth from a hypothetically angle in which all citizens start off on equal ground, however, will the natural intrinsic forces within people ultimately disrupt the outcome (Zhang, …show more content…

The people who receive these benefits and work harder than the next person, remembering they all have the same resources, should not have to share those benefits with the next person if they choose not to do anything for themselves, it is unjust to expect them to (Moriarty, 2002). The purpose of social structures or systems, are rules and guidelines set up with the purpose for people to flourish and improve their outcome, improve their status, power and wealth In society we need social structures and guidelines for people in society to follow or consider to determine how one can survive, however, how ones uses it is their decision and social structure cannot decide that for them only (Mann & Dann, 2005). It is always questionable because people who flourish with the help of social system with ultimately gain the advantage over the other and then it needs to be considered do those who flourish have to redistribute their wealth to the ones who do not flourish (Moriarty,
