Analysis Of Inequality In The United States
Since the 1970s inequality has drastically change in the united states. Inequality refers to the income and wealth distributed in an uneven manner among the population. In Partridge, Mark and Weinstein, Amanda article it was stated that the rise in inequality in the U. S is concentrated in the top 1%. Therefore, because the U.S is in the top 1% in inequality there is a probability that it can reduce the U.S economic growth. Mark and Amanda also believe that there has been a change in inequality after 2000 in the U. S, for there were less jobs and income coming in. In “The consequence of economic inequality” article written by Nicholas birdsongs, he supposes that inequality causes stifle growth; Increases crime; a decrease in education; effects health; and causes political inequality. Disparity in the U.S suppress economic growth, for if the rank in inequality is high the poverty line is high. Poverty increases crime and poor health, which puts a load on the economy. The widening of the rich-poor gap is prone to increase the rent seeking rate that hinder economic growth. Birdsongs states that inequality also increases crime. For instance, a survey taken between 1968 and 2000 points out that the unequal society have higher crime

rates. Researchers thinks that the crime rates are elevated because of the resentment and antagonism they have towards the country. Crime can also cause an intermission between the rich and poor, for the rich can afford to have more law enforcement spending whereas the poor cannot afford to.
There is also a decrease in education because the lower income communities cannot afford to pay for a greater education. These communities have limited amount material and books in the school that are use repeatedly due to shortage of money. While the wealthy can pay for a good education for their children which is unfair. In a disproportion society, the government do not really support public education. As the rich become progressively wealthy, public policies become progressively fortunate to the policy goals of the economic leaders. Public education programs tend to be not accepted by the wealthy because they involve taking funds from them, which often imposed taxes on the rich, and giving those assets to the poor.
The underprivileged people in the world are subject to unequal rates of several kinds of illnesses. Admission to excellence health care and healthy food is sometimes restricted or unobtainable for poor people. The outcome of a large poor population, a major feature of economic inequality, is a less effective minimum wage jobs, top illness and humanity rates, superior health care expenses, and increasingly deepening scarcity for distressed individuals. Birdsongs states, “there is a growing curiosity in food deserts as obesity measures and other diet-related sicknesses increase. Obesity rates in the United States began to rise at shocking rates in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Presently, more than 1 in 3 American adults are obese and 2 out of 3 are overweight or obese.” It was said that poverty-stricken economy may end in fewer taxable means, and consequently either have higher overall tax rates or minor public services. The poor are excessively troubled with higher health care costs, a lacking ability to work, and a greater percentage of time spent on attaining food.
When money become presented to a small number of individuals, Political power tends to change in honor of those wealthy individuals. In political inequality, Birdsongs states that “high-income group are capable and incentivized to influence the government in their honor through both legal and illegal practice. Yet, the poor and working class are less likely to become educated or able to partake in the political process as economic means become insufficient. The wealthy groups are able to help with the financing for the political campaigns. Although it doesn’t give the candidate a lot of votes, “researcher states that they have been able to predict that for every 5 dollar spent that will get one vote. In contrast, the low income groups are less able to motivated elected official. Political interest and participation is markedly impaired in economically unequal societies. The education policy in the counties such as Japan have greater equality to achieve better equality.
For instance, in Jian lieu article “Examining massification policies and their consequences for equality in Chinese higher education: A cultural perspective” lieu studies the academic viewpoint on the educational policy by examining the influences of the cultural values concerning both education and equality. Then lieu “explores how these values shape the institution and policy making in Chinese context. Lieu believes the reason why japan have greater equality is because of the close bond families and their strong dedication. Therefore, the people are the nation and they are the ones who are in charge of their development and
equality.
The USA can also have greater equality in education. For example, In Anderson, Jose Felipe article “law coercion: Revising judicial power to provide equality in public education provides information on the Brown v. Board of education case that help give some form equality. Also the Jenkins decision help reduce the federal court power to interfere in local school decision. Therefore, if the USA wants equality the community and the children end to come together like the Chinese families if they want to achieve greater equality.
In Carter, Elizabeth article she “concentrates on the equal organization laws in the community property reform for the comfort and forthcoming wealth for the family. Carter paper included separate property command and the community property regime in the U.S., inspects the history of the reform era and argues that equality was not the primary goal of the legal reform and examines how spouses actually managed their money in the pre-1970s era.” public policy should be used to achieve greater for we need structure in order to have equality.
