Humanities Homework Help. University of North Texas Systems of Social Inequality Discussion
I’m working on a sociology question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
The book reading for Ideology and Legitimation of Inequality argues and shows that all systems of social inequality impose or require societal consent and justification especially through ideology in various societies. In addition, the supplementary reading Top Heavy: Increasing Inequality of Wealth in America and What Can Be Done about It implies the role of ideology and politics, including the tax system, in the justification of systems of social, especially wealth, inequality in the United States. Furthermore, the two video lessons point out that ideologies and politics play a strong role in defending and perpetuating such systems of social inequality focusing on the United States.
Discussion Question:
Can you explain how systems of social inequality impose or require societal consent and justification through ideology in past and present societies, particularly referring to the United States, including your own state?
