Introduction Inequality can be defined as the state of correspondence in rank, value, quantity, degree or ability. It also means sameness, justice, impartiality or fairness. Failure to achieve the description above leads to the phenomenon referred to as inequality which is partiality, unevenness or disparity. Although a significant progress may have been achieved in the modern British society over the past many years, some kinds of inequalities are set to remain at levels that will prove intolerable with time. This of course calls for a new approach to tackling discrimination and the disadvantages that may arise as a result of the same. Inequality still scars out the entire society and holds back too many individuals from realizing their potentials. The following points will make clear the level to which inequality remains a phenomenon. To begin with, there exists an economic disparity between the rich and the poor; this is mainly because nations succeed differently in developing their own styles of achieving objectives. Precisely, economic divergence involves more than the rates of industrialization and indeed more than economics. Where the relative poverty is related to the standards of living that are considered being normal. (Young, 2000, p.59). Types of inequalities The other kind of emerging difference is the divergence in acquisition and subsequent possession of knowledge. Modern knowledge has substantiated inequality. There exists a variety in this case, between the educated, the non-educated and the educated middle classes. The operation of each member in each category varies greatly with class. This has encouraged unevenness among the members of the society for instance; records make it justifiable that ignorance, iniquity and inequity thrives among the poor and the less educated more than they may be prevalent among the rich and educated people. There also exists social inequality in that people of a particular class tend to mostly stay together not preferring to be associated with the others considered to be in lower classes or status. To add to this, the difference in income got by the rich and that got by the poor, continue to broaden each and every new day. This has brought about a massive imbalance in financial reward and subsequent unequal sharing of resources or rather wealth. The big income difference specifically in the modern British society serves as an indicator of the scale of social differentiation and social distances within it. Where the income in Britain is not as unevenly distributed as the wealth, “the gap between the top and bottom is still considerable.” (Saunders, 1994, p. 39) This in turn has a close connection with the health status of the parties involved in that those who live in societies filled with inequality have worse health and shorter lives than those in the less unequal ones. There also tends to be more violence and weaker community life in such societies. The indicators therefore are that poor health may share casual pathways with many other social problems associated with relative deprivation including violence. Another level of inequality that again is notable in the modern British society is political i
