Question

Social inequality has material and ideological roots. Explain and provide an example.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Social inequality is a by-product of one’s social

status which is determined by one’s economic status.

If we look at it from a different dimension, people who with

their accumulated privilege such as race, religion, culture etc. strengthened their economic status.

A typical example is the American society where the white people have an invisible white advantage which they accumulated

over a period of years when the African Americans were discriminated and the native Americans were forced to change themselves.
