Inequality is rampant in the society . Write an essay to support the illustration in the Pearl by John Steinbeck

Inequality is a social, systematic and growing problem. For this reason, we can say that inequality is rampant, as it manages to establish itself at an impressive speed, making it difficult to stop.

Social inequality undermines access to basic rights by decreasing people's quality of life and increasing social injustice across the country. The greater the inequality, the more people become victims of this system and end up generating other human beings who also become victims of inequality, making this problem never end, but increasing more and more.

Governments benefit from these systems of inequality, as it opens space for more cases of corruption and favoring a small group of citizens over others. In addition, inequality increases political dependency, causing people to establish a type of cult of political figures who exhibit palliative, ineffective and flawed solutions.

Therefore, we can agree that inequality is a systematic problem, supported by the interests of privileged people, which stimulates its unprecedented increase.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
