1SOCIOLOGY AND CULTURE
Social and cultural inequality is one of the harshest realities of the world. It has been seen
that there is existence of unequal and inadequate rewards and opportunities for people belonging
from various social status and positions with the society. It can also be witnessed that there are
differences in public recognition and treatment based on the cultural practices, norms, customs
and symbols in the world which is unfair to the human beings and has a negative impact on the
society. This paper is going to shed a light on the several inequalities like ethnic, cultural and
social that prevails in Canada.
Canada is considered to be one of the best countries to live in as the country provides
economic opportunities, high quality education and health and many more. However, there are
social, ethnic and culture inequalities that exist in the country which has a negative impacts on
the society as well as the country.
Social inequality in Canada is becoming a growing concern for the society in the country.
According to reports, there are several social issues that people in Canada face like
homelessness, housing and wealth inequality (Stehr, 2018). Homelessness and housing have
become one of the major and exploding issues in Canada due to the exorbitant price rates of
houses. There is also lack of supply in terms of housing which has been creating this issue and
resulting in high rates of the houses which is unaffordable for many people in the country which
has resulted in homelessness. Reports suggest that there has been 2 percent increase in the count
of homeless people in the country and there has been a 140 percent increase in the death of the
homeless people in the country in one year (CBC, 2019). The reason for so many deaths in the
country was due to poverty and as they were unable to survive in the extreme and difficult
weather conditions.
