The division between the sexes - The division between the rich and the poor exist in all societies. Poverty being a viscous cycle, people find themselves unable to break away from. Compared to rich people, the poor have lesser opportunities. Many of them dont have access to food, education, housing and employment. Their resources are limited and most of the time, there is nothing much they can do about it.
Descrimination - Another example of social injustice is discrimination on the basis of sex. Women being considered as an inferior sex for centuries now. Compared to men, women own very less property, not only in the developing countries, but the world over.
Racial discrimination - Racial discrimination is another kind of social injustice. People who are black are considered inferior to the whites. There is no basis for this theory, yet racial discrimination is a reality which many African Americans live with everyday.
HomosexualityHomosexuality - Nowhere is social injustice more obvious than in the case of homosexuals. People openly declare homosexualityto be unnatural and against religion! Denying homosexuals the right to get married and live a life of dignity is nothing but social injustice!
