PHIL 237 Lecture Notes - Lecture 25: Social Inequality, Equal Opportunity
Document Summary
We may be chasing after something that is not possible to ever get (quality) The idea of inequality is biased based the on the situation that we find ourselves in. Similarly, in society some people (doctors) work harder and longer to earn what they do, whereas others don"t work as hard and therefore cannot always expect to be as financially well off as those who do. However, there is also the issue of lack of employment opportunities. More and more people are graduating at a higher academic level, but there are not enough jobs for these people, and so they end up getting jobs that pay less than what they worked for. This have given rise to widespread inequality, with respect to the amount of energy certain humans must award to labor, and the amount of rewards that humans gets from the labor that they provide to their community.
