Inequality

Ruiz Rivas, Alicia

the families who almost don´t have enough money to pay for food, water, electricity, a phone or WI-FI signal (they don´t even have anything like WI-FI).

The city on the other side of the bridge has everything and people can pay for everything they need.

by Palombo

In this picture you can see a slum at the front in contrast with the high rise buildings at the back. People in the slum don´t have a sewage system or running water. But the people who inhabit the pricey buildings at the back, live a life of luxury. In the city they can go to shopping malls or fashionable restaurants.

Those two different kinds of life are an example of economic inequality. Things like rubbish strewn roads and dirt turn slums into an impossible place to live in. This is a problem our society has. We need to help those people to start a change.
