Introduction:
There are many and big inequalities in the world today. Here are some examples.<br /> <br /> 10% of the poorest people in the world account for 0.5% of the world’s consumption – and their share is falling.<br /> 10% of the richest people in the world account for 59% of the world’s consumption – and their share is increasing year after year.<br /> <br /> The debt payment from 46 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa were four times higher than their budgets for education and health in the beginning of the new millennium.<br /> <br /> Free trade is supposed to create competition so that only the best product should reach a market and the consumers. But there is no “free trade” since companies have grown huge and dominate the market, and they can set the prices as they wish.<br /> Haiti imported inexpensive rice from USA in the 1980s, this out-competed the local rice-production and the country had to import all rice. Then the prices rose, which was only beneficial for the foreign producers.<br /> <br /> When the United Nations was formed after the II world war in 1945, a declaration was adopted. It is called “the Universal Declaration of Human Rights”. The first paragraph says:<br /> “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood”.<br /> How is it possible to ignore such powerful words? Why is this not followed as a basic rule of life in and between all nations?<br /> <br /> To do something about it you have to know about the world we live in, how it functions. This is a task where you have to look around, learn more about how events unfold, keep a critical eye and ear open for how it is described in media, discuss with other people around you, and put two and two together yourself and together with others.<br /> Most media companies today are owned by big corporations, you therefore have to be aware that what they tell is colored and reflect the interest of the owners. Sometimes the so-called “news” has very little to do with what is going on.<br /> You therefore need to search information from other sources, such as alternative news websites, read books and as a golden rule keeping your eyes and ears open. And be ready to open your mouth so as to spread information about the world you see.
Directive:
1. Read the text.<br /> 2. Give 5 examples of inequalities in the world from the text. Describe them in 2-4 lines.<br /> 3.

Conclude on it.<br /> 5. Send the examples of inequalities to your tutor and include discussions and conclusions on why they are there and ways to overcome them.
