Thesis Statement:

There is a vast difference in the services enjoyed by the rich people than the poor people. This leads to the social stratification and cause many problems. In this paper, I will review different factors behind the difference. Income inequality is a major problem for the world now. Many are living below the poverty level and other spending a lavish life. The major discrimination can be observed in the health sector as there is a clear difference in the facilities available to the rich and poor people. At the end I will discuss the ways to overcome this social problem.
