India is suddenly in the news for all the wrong reasons. It is now hitting the headlines as one of the most unequal countries in the world, whether one measures inequality on the basis of income or wealth.
So how unequal is India? As the economist Branko Milanovic says: “The question is simple, the answer is not.” Based on the new India Human Development Survey (IHDS), which provides data on income inequality for the first time, India scores a level of income equality lower than Russia, the United States, China and Brazil, and more egalitarian than only South Africa.
According to a report by the Johannesburg-based company New World Wealth, India is the second-most unequal country globally, with millionaires controlling 54% of its wealth. With a total individual wealth of $5,600 billion, it’s among the 10 richest countries in the world – and yet the average Indian is relatively poor.
Compare this with Japan, the most equal country in the world, where according to the report millionaires control only 22% of total wealth.
In India, the richest 1% own 53% of the country’s wealth, according to the latest data from Credit Suisse. The richest 5% own 68.6%, while the top 10% have 76.3%. At the other end of the pyramid, the poorer half jostles for a mere 4.1% of national wealth.
What’s more, things are getting better for the rich. The Credit Suisse data shows that India’s richest 1% owned just 36.8% of the country’s wealth in 2000, while the share of the top 10% was 65.9%. Since then they have steadily increased their share of the pie. The share of the top 1% now exceeds 50%.
This is far ahead of the United States, where the richest 1% own 37.3% of total wealth. But India’s finest still have a long way to go before they match Russia, where the top 1% own a stupendous 70.3% of the country’s wealth.
Plasticity or brain plasticity refers to the brain's capacity to change throughout life. It is centered around the notion that many aspects in a person's brain can suffer alterations even through adulthood. Basically it defies the idea that we are "hard-wired" as humans. Learning is appointed as a main contributor to the increase of brain plasticity, this is largely due to the brain's capacity to form new connections (synapses) between neurons (brain cells) when presented with new scenarios, it is consistently reorganizing itself, creating and pruning (removing) synapses.
<span>Watching the Bobo doll being pounded on TV by an adult has the same inference for a child or adult as if it were happening right in from of them because whether it is on a metal box or right in front of us, we are able to discern that the deed is actually happening. We can actually see it happening.</span>
Answer:
Unsure because people have different intentions.
Explanation:
Flat Earthers usually are trolls for attention. They will speak up in order to get any feedback, especially if it’s negative. Most people like this are the ones that said there is no science behind a round earth instead of flat, which has been disproven. Another theory can be that they genuinely believe this, and that they spend time thinking the earth is flat. This opinion can come from wanting to be different or reading/seeing flat earth theories on media.
