In recent years, there is a growing concern evolving around the
wealth
disparity. Some people believe the governments should crack down on the wealth
class and give more consideration to the have-nots whereas others argue that the underprivileged groups are suffering because of their laziness. In this
essay, I will elaborate on the root causes of such
a phenomenon and its solutions.
It is worth noting that different upbringing environments play a critical role in shaping people's personalities, careers and success. Children who are raised in wealthy families
are more likely to become prosperous than those of low-income families
. For instance
, according to a study by Harvard University, nearly half of talents come from middle-income families
and above. Their wealthy parents are more willing to sponsor them to fulfil their dreams than ordinary parents. Consequently
, families
have become a decisive factor when it comes to wealth
distribution.
To solve this
problem, there is a couple of options lying on the tables of both local officials and parents. For example
, it is necessary for the local official to provide continued economic support to underprivileged families
as it may help them to break the vicious cycle. Their children should be given more help when it comes to career selection. In addition
, raising taxation imposed on the wealth
class and setting up a social safety net to protect families
on the verge of bankruptcy.
In conclusion, the economic situation of families
is an important factor affecting wealth
distribution, even though the reasons for increasing gaps between the rich and the poor vary. It is necessary to provide continued support to underprivileged groups in order to reduce inequality.Submitted by jiachenguq on
