Social inequality today is becoming, and rather quickly, a problem for our economy and for the people. We have all seen the reports of young men and women who are protesting on Wall Street in New York or in other large city's around the world. Of course its unfair. We are all taught that we are born being equal yet when these people apply for a job, they get rejected due to the fact that company's are cutting on personnel because of the state of our economy. Now if we all take a step back and reflect on it, we will quickly come to the conclusion that it is unfair. But we must consider, was there a hype around this whole shenanigan due to media and self pity. Here is a good example on how to illustrate it. Lets just say i am a teenager and i have friend A who is dramatic and friend B who is problematic and has a lot of self pity. Friend A would represent the media. Friend B decides to drink at party for example then feels very stupid for what she did and a couple of days later friend B hears about it. The next day after hearing this, friend B goes up to friend A and makes her feel worse. The effects of that were, friend A feels worse and friend B is thriving on friend A's guilt. This is how i would represent the protesters. They obviously feel cheated and mistreated because multi millionaires/billionaires have a lot of power and are bending the rules to favour them and only them. But we must consider the opposing side to this problem. Not all wealthy people are evil and bloodsucking leaches. When we were watching a video that you presented to us in class, there was a man that was part of the protesters, that was wealthy, and he was saying he wanted to help and donate. I personally thought that was great because that proved that not all rich men are evil. So there is i believe a vail that has been put in front of the protesters by the media. This vail is trying to convince them that all wealthy people are evil. Also to be perfectly honest I think that instead of complaining they should get off of their lark and become more productive. I really hope they realise that the people in Wall Street are sitting at their desks and laughing. So i think there has to be a better way to ''Bring down the system'' if you will.Link between income inequality and health. This link is showing how for the protesters and all the people who are victim of unemployment are being thrown into worse conditions due to our structure.

Now the picture on the left represents what the wealthy people are doing to the middle class. They are taking the candy form the middle class and the middle class is powerless because they are so small.
