Inequalities In European Culture

The fact that the Europeans had the richest crops and the strongest animals on the planet is the primary reason that they were able to develop the “guns, germs, and steel” that made them so powerful. One of the strongest advantages that Europe had was their ability to withstand germs that made other countries fall terribly ill. For example, as the Europeans traveled the world, local people had severe outbreaks of infectious diseases, one of the most common being smallpox, which is transmitted to people from cows. The fact that Europe’s geography allowed cows to live in close proximity had allowed European’s bodies to become immune to the disease. Essentially, the Europeans carried the diseases that they were immune to and transferred them to people in other countries without ever getting sick themselves.

(17:00) Gun powder had originally come from China and first used as a weapon by Arabs and over years Europeans made the guns lighter and more portable. Even if it took a long time to reload, the guns we have now would be a terrifying weapon for the Inca Empire, as they had never seen such a thing before. But the real power of the conquistadors was with the production of steel. Toledo had some of the best sword smiths in the world. People started working with metals in the Fertile Crescent 7000 years ago and because Europe is geographically close to the Fertile Crescent, Europeans inherited this metal technology (19:38). While Inca Empire were skilled to grow potatoes and corn, they had never heard of steel

There is still inequality here in the United States, but back then it was terrible. There was even a reconstruction era to try and fix these racial tensions but ultimately failed. After the civil war the reconstruction era began to develop to reconnect the eleven states that left the union and welcome to newly freedman as "equals". There were newly formed groups like scalawags, carpetbaggers, and freedman that help make a new form of government, also there were amendments made to make sure Africans were treated a regular citizens. Even though there where positive things like these many things caused the downfall and eventually killed reconstruction. Ultimately The South destroyed the rebuilding process by forming terrorist groups and discriminating

Steel affects the development of civilizations because steel was revolutionary for industry and has helped build things like really good weapons and the stainless steal last a very long time. Civilizations developed steel when people were on their breaks from agriculture and started experimenting with steel,so they started using steel to make weapons. Papua new guinea and Eurasia has iron and Inca has gold. Papua new guinea could not build a long lasting fire and did not have a large number of specialist and Eurasia could and did. Inca was able to build a long lasting fire and did not have enough

Inequality is not favorable in society. There is inequality in many aspects of our society, such as race, and gender. The main inequality we look at is income inequality in the United States. The one percent of the population control a vast majority of the United States currency. The Gini coefficient has been increasing ever since the Industrial Revolution, a period where education, manufacturing, and economics has shown growth. However, income inequality has increased in the Industrial Revolution. There are many events, and causes that have led to the rise of income equality in the United States.

Economic Inequality is the thing that makes the United States the Land of Opportunity to many immigrants. Many Immigrants relocate themselves and/or families for the purpose of experiencing “The American Dream”. The American Dream is the dream of Democracy, Equality and a better opportunity through hard work and dedication. Without the American Dream, there wouldn’t be any inventors or hard workers. If everyone in America was paid the same no matter what occupation, they had, the United States would’ve been a Socialist country. In order to avoid being a Socialist country, America turned to Economic Inequality. The United States accepted Economic Inequality because of the belief that capitalism can’t work without it. Economic Inequality creates the gap that separates the Rich from the poor based off of the wages one gets from their occupation. As Economic Inequality helped the United

In early societies, the surplus of goods and resources was rather limited compared to today. This limitation of goods is what kept the societies from being influenced by inequality. In the United States today, goods and resources are not necessarily limited. In today’s world, goods are being manufactured that are not necessarily essential for survival. This allows for certain individuals to gain resources and power, while others get nothing, thus creating the issue of inequality.

Unfortunately, inequality has not completely ceased to exist in the United States of America. As a country, we have had a long history of injustice among our people. From the enslavement of African Americans, to the mistreatment of Native Americans on the Trail of Tears, and the subtle and sometimes overt discrimination oppressing American women today, there has been a long and continuing history of discrimination and unfair action against our fellow citizens. It would be deceitful for us to think that our nation has lived up to the ideals of the words “all men are created equal” since the day the Constitution was written by the Founders. Slavery comes in many forms, and inequality has existed among many kinds of people, whether the issue

Can you imagine if you are living in a place without equality, what you are going to face? Many people will be living in instability and always feeling insecure. They might spend all their energy for basic survival instead of creating what they love or enjoying their life. life would be very difficult for them if inequalities are happening

Diamond's account has an interesting twist, though. Most epidemic diseases are zoonotic, that is, they are incubated in domestic animals. Crowding facilitates the spread of disease. Peoples who spent thousands of years living near each other and their animals developed resistance to many communicable diseases. Groups who weren't subject to these pressures did not develop the same resistance. When Europeans came to the Americas after centuries of urban life, their diseases decimated the indigenous populations. The guns and steel also facilitated the conquest, but Diamond thinks the germs were the key factor.

Even first world countries have some major problems, I believe the biggest problem is that inequalities of different groups are still around, the biggest one in America is salary equality. Although some jobs pay different prices the fact that there are so many homeless people in areas that have vacant houses is a problem. Another big equality problem in America is age equality, the “respect your elders” term is acceptable but when someone who is older than another individual bullies or demands something from an younger person is unfair. Disorders such as depression are very common, especially in teens and young adults, and schools have really acted upon these disorders. Equality is not being totally 100% equal, that impossible, but at least make it fair for everyone.

Inequality can be seen from the very beginning when European settlers fist landed on South America’s shores. Although it is noted Portuguese settlers are well known to be

Income inequality has been a major issue in American history. There are many different factors that contribute to inequality. These include education, wealth, discrimination, ability, and monopoly power.

Why the income inequality exists in America? There are numerous reasons why income inequality exists in America and why people get sick from it. Scarcity is not the reason for income inequality. We certainly have enough, but what we have is unequally distributed. People who are at the top of the ladder possess high percentage of the wealth and income and this leads to poverty and income inequality. One other reason for the income inequality is discrimination. It is structural causes that let the discrimination to exist in our country. Social structures harm people by excluding the

Inequality is ubiquity in our world, most people are looking at the downside or the surface of this phenomenon. In fact, that inequality is the drive of historical and social progress.
