Equality Question

I am looking for you to write a 1000 word reflection essay based off of the attached readings.

Directions *IMPORTANT*

1. Begin your essay by answering the inequality question: who gets what and why?
   1. a) You may choose to focus your essay on inequality in the United States or inequalitybetween the U.S. and another country. If you choose to focus on inequality between theU.S. and another country, you must specify which nation state you are comparing.
   2. b) You must apply at least one sociological theory to explain your answer (e.g., conflicttheory, intersectionality, dependency theory, etc.).
2. Describe well-informed proposed solutions to narrowing the gap in inequality. You may choose to discuss certain policies, resources, or social movements aimed to empower marginalized groups, but it must include your role in making a difference. What I really want you to think about is: what are you going to do with the information you’ve learned from this class?
   1. a) As part of your answer, reflect on how your proposed solution(s) might be accomplished.
   2. b) Your proposed solution(s) need to make connections to concepts or lessons you’velearned from the course and include proper citation of the material you reference.
3. Conclude your essay by discussing what specific indicators (or indices) one should use to track progress on closing the gap in inequality, and why these indicators are important to examine. These may include (but are not limited to): life expectancy, years of education; the Gini index, the IHDI, etc.
   1. a) Whichever indicator(s) or index you propose using, you must explain why you’ve chosen it/ them.
   2. b) Your reasoning should make connections to and cite material from the course.
