Introduction: What is a Divided Society?
A divided society is a society that is composed of two or more economic classes, with substantial differences in wealth and power.
The term is often used in a pejorative sense to describe societies that are perceived as unequal to the point where the rich live lives of luxury while the poor live in squalor. The term ‘divided society’ has been used by many people to describe societies which are unequal, with significant gaps between the rich and poor.
The Effect of a Divided Society on Individual Well-Being
Divided societies are more likely to suffer from mental health problems and lower life satisfaction. The quality of society is not only influenced by the economic status, but also by the degree of social cohesion.
The most important factor in determining whether a society is divided or not is the level of heterogeneity in that society. Heterogeneity can be defined as how different people are from each other in terms of their background and characteristics.
What Causes a Divided Society?
The causes of division in society are not always the same as the causes of economic division. For example, a person may be economically well off but suffer from social exclusion. This is because they are not accepted by society for reasons such as race, gender, or religion.
In many countries, there is a clear divide between those who have more and those who have less. In order to create a more unified society, we must find ways to bridge this gap and promote equality for all people.
How to Reduce the Effects of Division in Communities & Restore Equality
Division in communities can be seen in various ways. It can be seen in the form of racism, sexism, and homophobia. It can also be seen in the form of income inequality, where some people are able to better provide for themselves than others.
There are many ways that inequality can be reduced or eliminated. Some people believe that equality should not exist at all, but it is more likely for people to want to help reduce inequality rather than eliminate it completely. The first step would be to stop discrimination against certain groups of people, which could happen by enforcing laws against discrimination or by changing personal attitudes towards other races and genders.
