Inequality and gender issues in a state

1. Citizenship is the status of a person recognized as a
member of a state under the custom laws.
This context can exist without an historical
background a people have shared prior to the
formation of the defined geographical borders that
enclose a country
It is like marriage; people don’t meet today in the
streets and end up the next minute on the altar
exchanging vows.
These people have certain attributes and a past that
draws them together, gives them a heritage, certain
privileges and a sense of belonging.

2. People feel more or less deserving citizens of a country depending on
how they are treated.
How much the state allows them to possess in terms of resources
Inequality is bred through these means
Discrimination based on gender, race, and social classes
People who acquired citizenship through registration may not have the
same physical traits or cultural attributes as the indigenous people.
Depends on who are the majority in that geographical location
Discrimination inevitably occurs, especially when such a society is
bombarded with issues such as scarcity of resources.

3. In Australia for instance, the original aboriginal tribes were
dispossessed off their land .
Their traditions were termed as barbaric
This occurred during the conquest around 1900s
Reason being; they were the minority
This discrimination would have been manifested on the
white settlers
Their ways would have been considered perverse, a loss of
identity and values.
As long as we are from diverse cultures and economic status
in the same planet, we should learn to borrow each other’s
methods and integrate our systems.
Lest we find ourselves in constant conflicts with other
humans.

4. People are treated differently according to their gender.
Therefore, sexuality is a platform for inequality.
Most women are denied employment because certain jobs are
thought to be for men.
For instance , more men would be employed as drivers, casual
labourers and security officers while the number of women getting
these jobs is negligible.
More men are , therefore, independent and more women have to
rely on them.
It is impossible for people to control their life, their dreams and
aspirations without economic empowerment.
Even though they might be socially and politically aware of their
rights and freedom, the question still remains; do they have control
of their life

5. Movements have emerged to combat inequality.
Feminism is one such concept that seeks to voice women’s grievances
 Look out for their welfare
 Tries to create an equilibrium with men
 Inequality in citizenship is slowly being resolved by modernism and globalisation
 Cultural fusion takes place due to more interaction among many people from different
places.
 Perhaps the only question is; How can we ever achieve a levelled economic capacity
for each man and woman?
 This is the only sure way inequality would disappear from our systems.
