Notes on Social Issues and Inequality:



Poverty and Income Inequality:

- Poverty refers to a state of deprivation in which individuals or households lack the resources necessary
to meet their basic needs, such as food, shelter, and healthcare.

- Income inequality refers to the unequal distribution of income within a society, where a small portion
of the population possesses a significant portion of wealth, while others struggle with limited financial
resources.

- Poverty and income inequality can have far-reaching consequences, including limited access to
education, healthcare, and opportunities for social mobility.



Discrimination and Social Exclusion:

- Discrimination involves treating individuals or groups unfairly based on characteristics such as race,
gender, age, disability, or sexual orientation.

- Discrimination can result in social exclusion, where certain individuals or groups are marginalized and
denied equal access to resources, opportunities, and participation in society.

- Social exclusion can lead to a cycle of disadvantage, as individuals facing discrimination may experience
reduced educational attainment, limited employment prospects, and restricted social networks.



Gender, Race, and Other Forms of Oppression:

- Gender oppression refers to the systematic disadvantage, discrimination, and unequal treatment
experienced by individuals based on their gender identity or expression.

- Racism encompasses the belief in and practice of hierarchical categorization and discrimination against
individuals based on their race or ethnicity.

- Other forms of oppression include discrimination based on factors such as age, sexual orientation,
disability, religion, or socioeconomic status.



Intersectionality and Multiple Dimensions of Disadvantage:

- Intersectionality recognizes that individuals may experience multiple forms of oppression
simultaneously, leading to complex and intersecting social identities and experiences.

- Intersectionality emphasizes the importance of understanding how various dimensions of
disadvantage, such as race, gender, and class, intersect to shape an individual's experiences of
discrimination and social exclusion.
