Whenever the people talk about social class in United States of America they make it sound like this country does not have inequalities. However, in the article Confronting Inequality wrote by Paul Krugman, he clearly shows the immense gap existing between poor people and rich people. We, the people should care about inequality because it is the only way that we can do something for our offspring. If we take care about the inequality right now the gap for our descendants will be less and they will have more chances to reach their goals in the future. I totally agree with Paul Krugman who says we should care about inequality stating that it is very important because of the matter of living standards. Inequality is one of the more important problems in this world therefore we as community we have to take care about it. We cannot close our eyes and let that only one part of the people get advantage of what we deserve as society. Inequality affects gradually to our community that could bring many problems to it. People affected by inequality could not achieve the minimum economical standards and be affected by diseases or even something worst they could be forced to fall in misbehavior to get what they need. For the reasons mentioned bellow is why I think we should care about inequality.

  1. Good reflections. Do you think that, if people are struggling to get by, the fact that others are getting richer and richer in and of itself will hurts those who are struggling?

  2. What I think is that it will really matters to those who REALLY struggle every day to get by. It won’t affect people that only complain and average people who seems like they want more for their lives, but actually do not do anything to achieve their goals. And piteously the majority of people are like that...
