Why are there a lot of inequalities in global cities?

- Inequality can be defined as the unequal distribution of economic resources and


opportunities in a certain society. In short, inequality happens because there is a
significant difference between the rich and the poor. Basing from my own
opinion, inequalities can always be observed anywhere most especially in
globalized cities. I believe that human life is like a pyramid – one wherein there
is a hierarchy. The gap between the rich and the poor keeps on expanding as
time passes by due to the fact that those who have power, money, and influence
are capable of utilizing those without in order to gain more. With this fact, it is
relevant to say that the rich becomes richer while the poor become poorer. The
unfortunate ones who are at the bottom part of the pyramid are usually exploited
by those who are at the top. In conclusion to this, inequality is potentially
inevitable yet it can be minimized if the government, together with the society,
builds an economy that works for everyone and not just for the upper class.
