Some examples of inequalities highlighted include unequal access to COVID-19 testing early in the pandemic between the wealthy and general public, and lower research funding for prostate cancer versus breast cancer despite similar prevalence. The module advocates for policies like boosting Mindanao's economy to reduce poverty rates in that region.

What’s New

between poor people.

2. List down all the things that Karl Marx would have wanted to end with his plan.
- Equality
- No one could rise too high
- No one could sink too low
- Eternal truth
- Nations
- Fair justice
- Family

3. Do you agree with the songwriter that the world is not fair?
- Yes, I agree because we all know that in the present time if you do not have
money people will not favor into you and your life will be miserable. Even
though you did a lot of great job there is still someone that will pull you
down and destroy your life.

What’s More

If I were a lawmaker

Direction: Pretend to be a lawmaker and read the following situations below. Identify
whether or not social inequality is present in each. If it does, suggest ways on how to
address it. If it does not, justify the claim for equality.

1. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected almost all aspects of human life. In the
early period of the pandemic in the Philippines, there were some reported
incidences that some wealthy and influential people have immediate and instant
access in COVID-19 testing services under government affiliated agencies.
However, the rest of the general public have difficulty to have access in such
kind of health services. As a lawmaker, what can be done to avoid social
inequality in this scenario?
- As a lawmaker, to avoid social inequality in this scenario, I will make a law
that only those people who have symptoms of COVID- 19, those who are
exposed to the COVID positive patient, and those who have a high risk of
getting COVID -19. If the people do not have any symptoms of COVID -19
even he is the president or senator of the country they do not have the right
to get the health for service.

2. The number of men who contract prostate cancer is about the same as the
number of women getting breast cancer. The disparity in annual government
research funding between the two cancers is striking and discriminatory
(though), illustrating yet again the institutionalized misandry existing in
Western societies. (Ray Blumhorst, National Coalition for Men)

- Prostate cancer is just deadly as breast cancer and the number of men of
who contract prostate cancer is about the same as the number of women
getting breast cancer but breast cancer research receives at least 75% more
funding than prostate cancer

3. In Mindanao, the southernmost and second largest of the Philippines' islands,


six of the 10 regions are among the top 10 nationally in terms of poverty rates,
with between 25 and 40 percent of families living in utter poverty. Nationwide,
the 30 most deprived provinces are home to more than one-third of the
Philippines' poorest families, resulting in generational poverty that is incredibly
difficult to emerge from. (Child Fund International)
- To reduce poverty in Mindanao the Philippines must enable a business to
reduce the poverty. To unlock the potentials of Mindanao the government
raised the productivity of farm and fisheries. The government also invest for
education, skills training, and social protection for the poor.

What I Have Learned


Today, I have learned that the government’s programs, projects, and initiatives are
created to deal with the problem in the country and it will lead to avoid inequality.
