This document discusses social inequalities from cultural and political perspectives. It defines social inequality as the uneven distribution of resources and opportunities in a society. The major factors that contribute to social inequality are identified as gender inequality, differences in educational attainment, wealth and poverty, power dynamics, and inequality based on body-build/appearance or race/ethnicity. Government programs aim to promote equality at the local, national, and global levels through initiatives that address issues faced by indigenous groups, economic and political circumstances within a country, and international disparities between wealthy and poor states.
