The article
talks about how economic and social inequality is becoming an impressive
negative force in the world. So much so that the gap between rich and poor is reminiscent
of “Victorian Times” and the social structures are becoming dehumanizing forces
in the way they separate people from having the option to make positive
decisions about how they are governed, their health and the wellbeing of their environment.
These are problems that can be felt worldwide from impoverished nations to the wealthiest
of capitalist structures. This report points out that was is most surprising in
a modern organic society is how a product can start out as a raw cheap material
but its cultivation into a consumable product gradually gains in costs to the
consumer, great returns to the developer and the lowest possible paycheck to
the workers who made the product. Concluding the Inequality and Social Disorder
subsection the article states, “With poverty goes vulnerability and exploitation: the
“dehumanization” of the oppressed at the hands of the oppressors.”
That oppressor being the minority of business owners who exploit the
environment, consumer and worker for profit. The article points out that there
is a stark contrast between desired healthcare and realistic inadequate
healthcare. The report states that poverty is “the world’s biggest killer and the greatest cause of
ill-health and suffering” and the cause of inadequate healthcare across the
world. According to this article the global inequalities can be summed up as a
recent (within the last 50 year) distancing of nations states from genuine
interaction concerning what is right for its people. In developing countries
the inequalities include domination over women, ignoring the destitute and the exploitation
of the working class.
