Society Community Health

In the review of his book, Water suggests that the only way to eradicate educational social

inequality is through the government setting standard and affordable learning standards.

Water says it is also the responsibilities of a society’s people to devise the means of ensuring

their children are given an equal chance to do extremely well in education and achieve similar

productive and satisfying lives just like the richer society enjoy. According to water, Social

inequality is a minor problem that should be solved with the help of governmental support,

through social rearrangement, as well as through coming up with similar strategies of education

regardless of social class.
