I also think his classification brings about inequality in the society

DIGRESSING A LITTLE


What do you think can be done to change this? We live in a world where we humans always find a way to classify. Everything is in classes.

BACK TO MY QUESTION


Which is not bad, however the result is inequality.
So back to my earlier question, what can be done to bring an end to inequality?

Sort:  

The idea of inequality means different thing to different people. However, we all use the word. To relate it to society, Karl Marx comes to mind. Every state with capitalist view is always full of classes. In school, we have captains, prefects, HOC, etc. These people are mostly chosen based on their academic perfomances which suggest class ultimately.

Except we can have a communism as proposed by Marx, class struggle and dominance will continue.

Thanks.
