Answer:

Metaphor.

Explanation:

Metaphor is a literary figurative device/ language used by writers in making comparisons between two things, which may not be literally applicable for the issue addressed. But this comparison makes it more understandable or easier to comprehend.

In his "Letter from Birmingham Jail" of 1963, Martin Luther King used this metaphorical speech to address the issue of racial discrimination that his people are facing. He states that it will be "easy" for anyone who has never experienced the prejudice his people suffered, to say that the issue of racial "<em>segregation</em>" can be let alone and more important matters to be worked on. He compares this racial discrimination with that of a "<em>stinging dart</em>" which hits hard and stings everything it hits.

Purple hibiscus

The example of income inequality, and Global Issue, on this page is poverty and sexism. Purple Hibiscus- novel written by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.

There is an underlying sexism at work in Papa's abuse of family. When the mother tells Kambili she is pregnant, she tells her that she miscarried a few times after Kambili was born. And there's an enormous divide between poor and wealthy, which is tragically obvious in Abba, where most of the people live in poverty while huge mansions sit empty. Purple Hibiscus explores the problems of ethnic tensions and political unrest in Nigeria as parallels for coming of age and defining identity.
