It occurs when resources in a given society are distributed unevenly, generally through norms of allocation, that bring about specific patterns along lines of socially defined categories of persons. In terms of unequal distribution of income or wealth, economic inequality is the frequently studied type of social inequality. Other than economic resources, social and natural resources are also unevenly distributed in most societies, thus, may contribute to social status. Other factors that may be affected by the norms of allocation are the distribution of rights and privileges, social power, transportation, adequate housing, access to public goods and services such as education or the judicial system, credit and financial services such as banking and other social goods or services. In your previous lesson, you are already looked into government programs and initiatives in addressing social inequalities. The government is employing different programs such as tax and benefits systems and promulgates law that can mitigate the effect of social inequalities like the IPRA law. This learner material will provide you with information and activities that will help you better understand local, national and global social inequalities as well as suggestions on how to address social inequality. After going through this learner material, you are expected to suggest ways to address local, national, and global social inequalities. Specifically, you are expected to: a) identify the local, national and global inequalities; b) cite ways on how to solve these local, national, and global inequalities. 1 www.shsph.blogspot.com Before we start with the lesson, answer the activities below.

It also refers to the unequal opportunities of individuals based on their social status. Social Inequality includes: 1. Access to social, political, and symbolic capital  Political inequality  The distance between masses and the decision makers, the more layers of authority and the decision, the greater the political inequality.  Symbolic Capital  Refers to the resources available to a group or individual on the basis of honor, prestige, recognition, and serves as the value that holds within a culture. 2. Gender Inequality  In some countries, women are paid relatively lower than men due to their sexuality and biological differences.  The LGBT community has always been treated indifferently and discriminatively because they do not fall within a biologically gender group. 3. Ethnic Minorities  Because some minorities live traditionalistic lives far away from the city and technology, and some may appear differently than usual, they have been consistently labeled and treated as people with minimal knowledge and capabilities. 4. Other Minorities  This may include people with disabilities or people with religions that are less prevalent in society.  Persons with Disability (PWD) are those who have long-term physical, mental, intellectual or sensory impairments which in interaction with various barriers may hinder their full effective participation in society on an equal basis with others.

Global inequality  Relationship between states and non-state actors in the global community  Actors are entities that participate in or promote international relations.  Two types of actors involved in international relations: o State actor is the institution implementing the functions of the government. o Non-State actor is an individual or organization that has powerful economic, political, and social power. Comparison of State and Non-state Actors Characteristics State Actors Non-State Actors Type/Form of Civilian/Military/ Typically no Government Dictatorship government Mechanisms of Not defined/ no Ambassadors/ Interaction with other specific organizational Diplomats countries hierarchy Implemented in Crisis War/conflict Terrorism/insurgency Islamic. China, North Korea, Examples fundamentalists India groups  As powerful individuals or groups, the non-state actor has the capability to influence decision-making in any national, or even international, concern. The state recognizes the value of non-state actors in the achievement and implementation of goals in the national and global community.  Global Stratification is a relevant concept involved in global inequality. It is the unequal distribution of social gaps across nations that are usually seen on the ratio between number of deaths versus number of live births per capita as well as life expectancy. Addressing Global Inequalities Because global inequalities are at the macro-level, it is also emphasized that they are focused on the same way. Below are methods by which global inequalities may be addressed:  Ownership of properties and inclusiveness of the lower class.  Inclusive partnership across nations that focus on technological advancements and innovations.  Revise taxation plans, ensuring lower taxes for poorer people.  Monitoring and stopping labor abuse through higher wages, less work hours, bonuses, health benefits, and non-contractualization. 4 www.shsph.blogspot.com 6. International inequality  Refers to the idea of inequality between countries. This can be compared to global inequality between people across countries.  This may refer to economic as well as medical care and education differences between countries Analyzing Social Inequalities The existence of minority groups in functionalist and conflict societies are also embedded in each type of society’s principles.  In a functionalist society, minorities also play social roles that contribute to social balance and equilibrium. However, these roles are bound by limitations and social norms.  In conflict societies, minority groups are seen as lower-class individuals that will not be able to keep up with the consistent competition occurring within the environment.  In both societies, discrimination against minorities is possible. Inequality among minority groups is greatly driven by global inequalities significantly coming from the influence of richer, more influential countries.
