Why are some people better off than others?

As I watch the news every single day, I can see reports about extremely rich people getting robbed or having a loss of shares then extremely less fortunate people struggling to have food on their plates for the day. There are two extremes in such a fast movement of the news. I saw such a great unequality being emphasized between the rich and the poor. This made me think that in this time, in our modern world now, the concept of unequality seems to take over. I am talking about an internal unequality.

Countries are slowly coping with the modernization and globalization of the world through global capitalism and reducing the gap between the most powerful countries and the developing ones. However, when we look inside these countries, we can see the huge difference of its individuals. The income is being concentrated on the top percentage of the people of the countries which leave the last, lowest percentage still poor and unfortunate.

If we come to think of it, an increasing economy is equal to decreasing equality between its people. I think the policies being made in the country affects on why some people are better off than others. As capitalism dominates, the unequality gap of the individuals increases

People from a certain country seem to be “luckier” when they migrate to another country. They earn a lot more than they can if they stayed behind. This just shows that people are in search of better lives for themselves in other places than being stuck somewhere where they cannot rise up due to the huge unequality.
