Both mentions crony capitalism where politicians and businesses are tightly entwined that economic success depends on government connections. The article focuses on how "access to decision makers(politicians) is the single most important element of business success" which complements "the decisive factor in any business deal is the right government connection."

It seems like during that period, the inequality existed everywhere and no one had the ability to change it; however, Kozol tried his best to turn around this situation and keep track of all he saw. In the article, he used rhetorical strategies effectively to describe what he saw in that situation, such as pathos, logos and ethos.

Analysis Of Not Again By Arundhati Roy
1022 Words | 3 Pages
Though the world economy as a whole has grown in recent years, a factor that is not taken into account is that the number “of the poor in the world has increased by 100 million” (Roy 3). In other words, the gap between rich and poor is widening. For India, this has startling implications. Though it is a nation that is developing in many ways, it also is a nation blessed with over one billion citizens, a population tally that continues to grow at a rapid rate. This population increase will greatly tax resources, which can create a setback in the development process. The tragedy, of course, is that the world is full of resources and wealth. In fact, Roy quotes a statistic showing that corporations, and not even just countries, represent 51 of the 100 largest economies in the world (Roy 3). For a country struggling to develop, such information is disheartening. However, there is also a more nefarious consequence of the growing disparity between rich and poor, and power and money being concentrated in the hands of multinational corporations: war is propagated in the name of resource acquisition, and corruption can reign as multinationals seek confederates in developing countries that will help companies drive through their plans, resulting in not only environmental destruction but also the subversion of democracy (Roy 3).

Pollan’s article provides a solid base to the conversation, defining what to do in order to eat healthy. Holding this concept of eating healthy, Joe Pinsker in “Why So Many Rich Kids Come to Enjoy the Taste of Healthier Foods” enters into the conversation and questions the connection of difference in families’ income and how healthy children eat (129-132). He argues that how much families earn largely affect how healthy children eat — income is one of the most important factors preventing people from eating healthy (129-132). In his article, Pinsker utilizes a study done by Caitlin Daniel to illustrate that level of income does affect children’s diet (130). In Daniel’s research, among 75 Boston-area parents, those rich families value children’s healthy diet more than food wasted when children refused to accept those healthier but

The Role Of Torture In Dystopian Literature
2460 Words | 5 Pages
Recently, in India the more powerful people have been depriving the poor of their mere wealth. According to the author, " million living below the poverty line is that the public exchequer is being looted, and that the money earmarked for development is going into the pockets of the rich and the powerful."(2 Bunker). This portrays that the donated and tax money that has been put forth for the poor is going into the high authority pockets. This leads to a greater gap between the rich and poor. The ones that deserve more are being deprived and tormented of their rights. Only 17% of the development money is reaching the poor the rest is taken by the corrupt officials. This is also shown when the article states, "Thousands of schools, dispensaries, roads, small dams, community centres and residential quarters have been shown to be complete on paper, but in reality are incomplete, inhospitably unutilized and abandoned."(1 Bunker). It is evident that the government is showing these facilities have been provided to seem diligent on paper. However, the basic necessities which is a citizens right have been taken away from the poor. Many rights including the voting rights of the poor village people are snatched by the officials. The poor do not have the right to true information of where the money for the poor from the government is being spent. It is because false receipts and vouchers

The White Tiger Character Analysis

To start off, corruption is one of the main disputes in society that make it difficult for appreciable living standards. Corruption is prevalent throughout the story in many different Indian institutions such as schools, police, and hospitals etc., many of which are governmental institutions. The corruption in India is hugely due to the desire to get ahead and take advantage in society. Throughout Adiga's book, the prevalence of corruption in different Indian industries are greatly exposed. When Balram says, “the school teacher had stolen our lunch money”(Adiga 30) it shows that he has seen this dishonest behaviour from a very young age. Instead of trying to create a fairer and less corrupt nation, India and its leaders show no desire to do so. Growing up he gets to see more about how the society works and shows he recognizes this when he says, “They’...

The Misconceptions of India
531 Words | 2 Pages
One of the most common misconceptions is that India is a land of poor people and they don’t have adequate resources or in fact the money to fulfill their basic necessities. To clear this misconception anybody should just visit any one of the countless extravagant and posh marriages that happen in India. You can also see women wearing the heaviest jewelry in any marriage even if they are middle class or in the higher class. Undoubtedly, a certain amount of the population of India is poor, but to balance it out there are lots of successful billionaires and millionaires in the country. The most common business families of the country are the Tata’s, Birla’s and the Ambani’s. In fact many Indian tycoons have overtaken big companies across the globe, such as Lakshmi Mittal who took over the steel industry in the world. Now how about that?

India Globalisation Case Study
1759 Words | 4 Pages
Through advocating the importance of self-sufficiency, India’s involvement with the global economy was minuscule, with their inflow of foreign investment mainly in the form of borrowing at times of necessity. The five-year plan of 1956-61 heavily focused on the rapid industrialisation of India, leading to large loans and imports from foreign investments in an attempt to fulfill their goal. Consequently, due to their limitations on foreign direct investment and the complex bureaucratic process in India’s closed economy, these imports and loans were not effective in improving the quality of life within the nation, as well as their economic state, with the population succumbing to bribes in order to avoid the tedious bureaucratic process. This in turn, crippled economic growth and due to India’s protective market, the population were bound to poor quality goods and services, being sold at high

Essay On Inequality In South Africa
1183 Words | 3 Pages
While economic growth in India has been significant, the living standards of people have yet to change as drastically. Growth in India has led to a rise in the inequality rate as discussed above. The major reason for this could be the fact that the highly productive areas, such as the tertiary sector has failed to create adequate level of employment. This is due to the low skill level of the people in India. Though India has an advantage of demographic dividend, it will yield results only when the young population has good health, necessary education and skills. Until India does not address this issue, the inequality will not decline. Another factor adding to inequality is the same to South Africa’s racial discrimination. In India a caste system prevails, that leads to inequality in income earned only due to the fact that a person is not located at the top of the caste system. A man in a lower caste may work more that a man in the higher caste but still earn less. So lack of skills and caste system hinders India from defeati...
