Talk:Social inequality

message: The "Quotes" section shows an obvious bias towards anti "social inequality". Should be fixed, or the quotes should be removed. 193.190.253.160 (talk) 14:48, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Bias

message: The opening clause should not define social inequality as a lack of social equality.  It's not up to the standards of typical wikipedian openings.  You could put it in the beginning of the next section like, "Social inequality can be interpreted as a lack of social equality," with some supporting sentences.

thread_title:  Weak Opening Clause 

message: This section starts off by saying that the causes underlying social inequality are "broad and far reaching," but doesn't subsequently  expand on these causes. The only cause of social inequality that is highlighted in this section is attributed to an unequal distribution of wealth, which is not the only reason social inequality exists in the world. More causes (such as social stratification)should be added to demonstrate the depth of the underlying reasons social inequality exists. B.chachere (talk) 03:41, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Expansion of "Causes" Section

message: Race, Class, and Gender are often considered the main categories when studying and/or teaching about social inequality.  This article needs to include a section on class-based inequalities that, for instance, addresses the variation in access to various forms of capital (economic/financial, social, cultural, human, etc.) that are present in different class positions.  This might lead to including social mobility in that discussion.  Furthermore, the section on Age needs a citation and more information, such as important studies and pertinent facts.

thread_title:  Class Inequality and Age 

message: I believe this content is more pertinent to Social inequality, so I have copied it here without integrating it into this article. 
:A counterexample to social equality was the social inequality of medieval Europe, where a person's estate, which was usually inherited, determined the legal and social rights the person had. For example, clergy could claim the benefit of clergy to receive a more lenient punishment for a crime.  Likewise, women have historically been and still are in some countries formally denied access to higher education—even if they could pay the tuition. In 19th century Europe, if female enrollment was even permitted, women had to apply for an "exemption from gender" to enroll in a university.
:In apartheid-era South Africa, both blacks and whites had formal access to health care and similar public services. However, the segregated health care arranged for blacks did not meet the same standards as those for whites. That is, there was enforced social inequality.
:In countries where social inequality is present, many social factors play a huge role in health and health care. Factors such as poverty, gender inequality, and racism contribute to a higher susceptibility to infection for individuals living in these conditions. It is known that HIV attacks the immune system in only one way, but it's outcome is strongly dependent on social forces. Moore et al. showed that race was strongly correlated to treatment when it came to sick individuals infected with HIV. Whites were more likely to receive ARTs, or other treatment before blacks when visiting an HIV clinic, regardless of severity. Farmer, Paul E., Bruce Nizeye, Sara Stulac, and Salmaan Keshavjee. 2006.

thread_title:  Moved content from [[Social equality]] 

message: :"Once able to work, women should be titled to the same job security and safe working environments as men."
:"Until such safeguards are in place, women and girls will continue to experience not only barriers to work and opportunities to earn, but will continue to be the primary victims of discrimination, oppression, and gender based violence." 
Wikipedia is not an advocacy platform. Our job is to report on what the UN said, not echo its statements. I would remove these statements outright, but they reference good sources, so please revise the sentences to restore neutrality, or I will do so when I find the time.

thread_title:  Specific sentences are unencyclopedic 

message: I will be working on a major re-write of this article over the next few weeks.  If you have questions o suggestions, please leave a note on this talkpage.  Regards, Meclee (talk) 15:49, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Major Re-Write 

message: "Is the existence of unequal opportunities and rewards for different social positions or statuses within a group or society. Data on inequality is vital when considering poverty, as the overall distribution of resources in a country affects the extent and depth of poverty. This is important as the monetary poverty levels in the EU are calculated in relation to median income. Ex-In Saudi Arabia, women aren’t allowed to drive, or even ride bikes, and men aren’t allowed to drive women they’re not closely related to.ex2-Women’s unequal legal rights increase their vulnerability to violence."
What is this part? The first sentence is incomplete and it is formatted very strangely. Some kind of relic? 95.113.184.98 (talk) 11:03, 26 November 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Last part 

message: I think this was a great thorough article. One way to make this article better would be to include a topic of sexual differences and the inequality experienced due to those differences. By adding that it does not leave that topic underrepresented as it currently is in this article. Because this type of inequality is not represented I would also comment that this article is out of date and needs to be updated with newer examples and information.

thread_title:  Article Review  

message: I would consider restructuring this article for greater readability and increasing its robustness by adding a section for each education, family, religion, sexuality, the military, governance, and economics (a la "The Power Elite” by C. Wright Mills.)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by EnunciationOfTruth (talk • contribs) 06:59, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article Structure 

message: I was interested to read about the "food" section, as I had never heard of the term "food deserts" before. My only question is, how exactly do food deserts impact childhood obesity? Are there any statistics to back this claim? Thanks!

message: The page as it is suggests that Marxism criticises inequality.
I think this is incorrect.
I think the page on equality has it right on this particular point.
I suggest deleting “Marxism” from the list of viewpoints critical of inequality.
