Document Summary
Talking about in a very abstract matter. Not in the perspectives through people who are living in poverty and such. We will be talking about it through social structure and what solving this problem could look like. Definition: systemic inequalities between groups of people, systemic b/c influence by social structure, different ways to organize society and think about it. Different social groups, different countries, different ways of thinking organize society in different ways. As a consequence of social processes, relationships. Ex: iphones allows you to do so much on one (media, technology, etc. ) item but all that manufacturing are not manufactured by the us and instead in china: no easy way to win the game. Systemic does work on the individual level. This is difficult b/c it is hard to measure things like ability. What we can measure our things like education, job experience, parents" socioeconomic status, etc.
