In your opinion, why is there a widening gap between the
rich and the poor? On my own opinion, the reason behind there is a widening gap between the rich and the poor is because of the culture and history we have inherited or pass on colonizers. We all know that in the history tells us that in the old age, poor people are just slaves and rich people have the power. Time past, that situation is still in the present times and still being interpreted in different scenario. Also some factors of the gap are discrimination, differences of education and social status that rich people are treated VIP while poor people are just being ignored.
