Global Inequality

After listening to a podcast about global inequality, I learned that it does affect us more than I thought. It may not directly affect us, but if we pay close attention we can see explanations for changes in our everyday lives. All countries are intertwined when it come to the stratification system, which explains why it is important that we pay close attention to what is going on in other countries.

Since we get most of our products from other countries, it only makes sense that when a particular country is doing bad it affects the cost of that product in our country. The price of gas is a good example of this. When prices start to change, so does the strength of our economy. Global inequality also affects our environment, such as natural resources. All countries contribute something to the world, whether it's good or bad.
