Severe wealth Inequality and Human Rights


   Human rights are the legal entitlements that belong "equally" to all of humanity,wealth inequality refers to the extent to which money is distributed "unequally" throughout society.

   "All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights"we often here that, but why some people not to be free and equal after birth?I think the biggest problem is severe wealth inequality. In nowadays,people who have more money have more opportunities to live equally according to their human rights. On the contrary, the people who have less money have less ability to pay the things they need. It's just like that money is everything. That's not right and not fair! Improving severe wealth inequality is not easy, but we still can try our best to fight for the opportunities and rights that we should have and create a better future for all of humanity.

My Opinion of Democracy



    Democracy is a form of collective decision making.Only the adult male citizens who owned land could make the decisions for all of society in the Athens,but I think everyone should be allowed to take part in the decision-making processes in nowadays.

    Although Hierarchical-based system has benefits----the government has the power to control people and can organize the society easily,the only thing people should do is to follow what it says and decides,I still prefer the equality based system.

    In modern days,we still can't participate equally in all of the decision-making,the people who have more money or have political background still have more opportunities.That's not fair!Money and background are important,but they don't mean everything.If people do have money or great background but have no knowledge,they can't make the right decisions.And people in different positions must have different opinions.So I think gather the opinions of everyone is the best form of democracy.
