Wording:

Introduction:
There are many and huge inequalities in the world today. Here are some examples:<br /> 10% of the poorest people in the world account for 0.5% of the world’s<br /> consumption – and their share is falling.<br /> <br /> 10% of the richest people in the world account for 59% of the world’s consumption<br /> – and their share is increasing year after year.<br /> <br /> The World Bank is the main source for global information on extreme poverty today and it sets the ‘International Poverty Line’. The poverty line was revised in 2015—since then, a person is considered to be in extreme poverty if they live on less than 1.90 international dollars (int.-$) per day. This poverty measurement is based on the monetary value of a person’s <em>consumption</em>. <br /> Read about the latest development on 'Global Economic Inequality <a href="https://ourworldindata.org/team">by Max Roser</a> ' at<br /> <a href="https://ourworldindata.org/global-economic-inequality">https://ourworldindata.org/global-economic-inequality</a><br /> <br /> The debt payment from 46 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa was four times higher<br /> than their budgets for education and health in the beginning of the new millennium.<br /> Free trade is supposed to create competition so that only the best product should<br /> reach a market and the consumers; but there is no “free trade” since a number of companies<br /> have grown huge and dominate the market, and they can set the prices as they wish.<br /> <br /> Haiti imported inexpensive rice from USA in the 1980s, this out-competed the local<br /> rice-production and the country had to import all rice. Then the prices rose, which<br /> was only beneficial for the foreign producers.<br /> <br /> When the United Nations was formed after the II World War in 1945, a declaration<br /> was adopted. It is called “the Universal Declaration of Human Rights”. The first<br /> paragraph says:<br /> <br /> <em>“All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed<br /> with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of<br /> brotherhood”.</em><br /> <br /> How is it possible to ignore such powerful words? Why is this not followed as a<br /> 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<br /> functions. This is a task where you have to look around, learn more about how<br /> events unfold, keep a critical eye and ear open for how it is described in media,<br /> discuss with other people around you, and put two and two together yourself and<br /> together with others.<br /> <br /> Most media companies today are owned by big corporations, you therefore have to<br /> be aware that what they tell is colored and reflect the interest of the owners.<br /> Sometimes the so-called “news” has very little to do with what is going on. The expression "fake news" is now known to millions of people.<br /> <br /> You therefore need to search information from other sources, such as alternative<br /> news websites, read books and as a golden rule keep your eyes and ears open.<br /> And be ready to open your mouth so as to spread information about the world you<br /> see.
Directive:
1. Read the text (F1) and speed-read the website about Global Economic Inequality <br /> <br /> 2. Give 5 examples of inequalities in the world from the text. Describe them in<br /> 2-4 lines.<br /> <br /> 3. Discuss with some fellow students why you believe the inequalities are there.<br /> Conclude on it.<br /> <br /> 4. Discuss what you can see would be ways to overcome these inequalities.<br /> Conclude on it.<br /> <br /> 5. Send the examples of inequalities to your teacher and include discussions and<br /> conclusions on why they are there and ways to overcome them.
