How does inequality affect our society and our future?

I do not want to reflect on inequality as that aspect in which perhaps many want everyone to have the same, because to obtain resources, human beings must simply make an effort and fight for it, but what about that person who fights and works and always has less than others?

It is this type of inequality that I am referring to, the inequality that exists between human beings in a society that is increasingly divided, and it is not always the one who works the most or the one who prepares the most to study who has the most, which is why I want to reflect on some points that seem important to me.

It is clear that the first thing that anyone in this world can see at a glance is two types of inequalities, a social inequality and an economic inequality, and that according to my way of thinking social inequality contributes greatly to the development of the other type of inequality which is economic inequality.

The reasons why I believe that social inequality contributes to economic inequality is because in an unequal society in terms of one part of the population believing itself superior to another part, what we could consider that one race can be superior to another simply because of its skin color, its culture, its lineage, makes any person think that it can generate wealth based on the exploitation of another, it is at that point where I think the gap opens for economic inequality and the problems of extreme poverty that is experienced in some parts of the world.

Social inequality can have serious consequences at a political and economic level. A society that sows the foundations of inequality is a society that will want to be governed under certain principles of exclusion, that is to say, a society that only governs for a part of society, resulting in a lack of opportunities in education, sports, culture, but above all a lack of opportunities in employment, which affects and opens a great gap to economic inequality.

For me the only solution to this problem is the individual conscience of each individual, but it is also necessary that two political and economic models can coexist and take the best of each one, I am talking about the coexistence of a hybrid system between socialism and capitalism, where we can develop a philosophy where equality has to be an equality of opportunities for everyone to work and contribute to the global economy, but always respecting the resources of the planet, where the only existing inequality is only for people who want to be more alive than others, where the only possible inequality is to exclude people who want to exploit other people just to enrich themselves.

If we do not find the union among ourselves, perhaps then we could be talking about a gradual disintegration of a society more and more indolent about the problems it has today and that may increase in the future.
