From the podcast, I was better able to understand how global inequality ties into sociology studies. Understanding how global inequality affects social stratification is relevant to our everyday life, no matter where we live. By looking at where people live or whether or not they are homeless, most people are able to see the effects of global inequality in their neighborhood. Finding out who benefits from this structure can help us gain more insight into how global inequality is created and possibly try to shorten the wide gaps between the rich and the poor.
I think the topic of global inequality is especially prevalent now with the government discussing how to decrease our trillion dollar debt. Although America is a strong core country in the world, there are still people living in poverty. While our power may be strong, our economic power would be stronger if we did not have trillions of dollars of debt. Global inequality can be seen throughout the world, from powerful countries to cities and even in small communities.
