SAMPLE ANSWER
Inequalities can either be visible or invisible,individualistic or structural. Given its ambivalence, inequality will depend on how one can see it. In real life, inequalities persist because of Structural problems, Public constraints and Political-institutional constraints. Given inequality permeates all aspects of society it is important to understand it.
Categorical inequality is a by-product of interpersonal interactions composed of negotiated collective boundaries. Care should be taken not to assume that categories will always produce inequalities – differences are guaranteed. Inequality is mostly a consequence of distributive effect of scarce resources. When one or more value producing resource is controlled, inequality emerges as decision on its supply and ability to produce more value with it has to be considered.
Recent studies suggest that financial capital, information, science and type of value-producing resource are the main factors that contribute the most to inequality. All this factors are currently controlled by small networks of persons compared to the world’s population as a whole. These identified factors will still have an effect of future inequality. Their impact will depend on their integration with categorical differences and their relation to concentrated means of coercion.
