| Descripció: | This essay is a critical reflection about the pressing problem area of inequality becoming acute in the globalized present. The paper is inscribed within the acknowledgement of the right citizens have to not be discriminated, to live pursuant to their needs and to fulfill themselves as individuals and socially. Increasing national and international sensitivity exists about these aspects; yet, it behooves to be mentioned that the epistemological, theoretical, historical, cultural, and other implicit aspects are not always coincidental nor do contextual conditions appear explicitly that make viable, reproduce and deepen the inequality among individuals, classes, and peoples of the global village. These aspects are deemed to be analyzed and understood from a relatively different perspective. The multi-dimensionality of inequality determines its complexity and the various positions in interpretation hinder the possibility of finding agreement about the causes, effects, andmeasures that resolve a social condition that has accompanied humanity along its history and that is presently growing worldwide. |
