My chosen social issue is unequal distribution of wealth in the society. This issue is of particular importance to the Buddhist who have their ethics that is emphasized on rightful owning of property. They do not support the distribution of wealth to particular people in the society. They instead propose that all the people in the society be given equal access to resources (Lim and Lee, 2016). In response to the unequal distribution of wealth, they have created some teachings that help guide the people in the society. The imposed teachings are meant to change the thinking of the people at the top ranks and those who are commoners in seeing the value of sharing (Genicot and Ray, 2017). These actions have affected the people from different religions as it has resulted to unifying of the various religions in the society. The people are sharing resources to all parts of the society that is improving the economic status of the society (Ray, 2016).
