The document discusses difference and inequality using examples from City Road over the years. It defines difference as something not being the same as another thing, and inequality as a lack of equality, such as differences in wealth, health or happiness between people. On City Road, one major difference over the years was the closure of many car showrooms, replaced by food outlets. Inequality can also be seen on City Road in how local people do not frequent the Mackintosh Centre, whose appearance of a wealthy family home may make people feel out of place there.

difference can be used. The word difference can be used to show that something is not the same as another thing or not the same as something similar. It also can mean a way in which people are not similar. Difference can also be used to describe the remainder when a smaller sum is subtracted from another. City road has seen many differences over the years. One of the major differences is, as LLoyd Robson recalls, "When I was a kid the street was lined with car showrooms". These have sadly closed and they have been replaced by food outlets. Inequality: The definition of inequality is where something is not equal. Where, for example, there is a difference in size or of social inequality where circumstances mean that some people are wealthier, healthier or more happy than others. Adam Smith, an 18th century Scottish philosopher, said Wherever there is great property, there is great inequality. (Smith. 1776). All through our society's history we have many examples of where inequality separated people through social, racial, religious or economic divergence. One way on City Road inequality can be seen is in the way in which people do not patronise the Mackintosh Centre. The buildings give the impression of the home of a wealthy landowning family. The building's appearance may be instrumental in making local people feel they would be out of place. there. References:
