Comparing Wollstonecraft’s Letters Written in Sweden, Norway and Denmark against Rousseau’s Discourse on the Origin of Inequality and his Reveries of the Solitary Walker, reveals how they understood the ideas of isolation and solitude in irreconcilable ways. Both authors approached solitude and social progress from distinctly personal standpoints, having both experienced crises in their personal lives, which prompted their social critiques of eighteenth-century Europe and England. Rousseau suffered from years of political exile, and the mental struggles of social paranoia, and Wollstonecraft faced and fought against sexism and female dependence. The article examines these two authors to show how one’s reaction to a state of solitude is determined by historical ideas, gender experiences, social experiences, selfishness, social consciousness, and dependence vs. independence. The paper concludes that Rousseau eventually found solace in a fantasy of solitary living, with a bleak outlook for the social progress of mankind, whereas Wollstonecraft more stoically accepted a life amidst a corrupt society in order to fight for the rights of women.","PeriodicalId":394700,"journal":{"name":"The Graduate Inequality Review","volume":"120 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128968623","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of these goals, SDG 5, focuses on achieving gender equality by 2030. Despite the commitment made to advance the gender equality agenda, not enough progress has been made to date. The lack of progress is significant across many spheres, such as in corporate America. Gender inequality can be observed in the American private sector through gender pay gaps, the underrepresentation of women in the workplace, and gender bias in recruitment and promotion processes. Although there is vast scholarly literature on how gender imparity can be observed in the America labor market, there is not enough academic literature on how gender inequality can efficiently be eliminated in the US private sector. The following paper examines available tools, strategies, and resources that companies can employ to overcome gender imparity, and offers readers an original framework that American companies can refer to annually to improve their gender performance and advance SDG 5. The paper also outlines the benefits that closing the gender gap in corporate America offers to both, civil society, and private enterprises.","PeriodicalId":394700,"journal":{"name":"The Graduate Inequality Review","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126485763","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Latin American Inequalities in the Long-Run 拉丁美洲长期的不平等

Institutionally, contemporary inequalities have roots in the continent’s colonial past. This essay supports this view by refuting a counter-argument by Jeffrey Williamson. Comparing Latin American to European and North American developments, Williamson attributes relatively high levels of inequality in Latin America to a missed period of globalisation with levelling effects. My analysis, however, suggests that Williamson misses the “levelling effects” of war and crisis. Rather than missing an equalising period of globalisation, Latin America has missed the destructions of two world wars and the Great Recession. Williamson also overlooks the fact that inequalities have been relatively low in Latin America right after independence, mainly due to capital destruction during civil wars. Yet, extractive colonial institutions have persisted and still help explain Latin American inequalities today. According to Mazzuca’s analysis of “plebiscitarian superpresidentialism,” when commodity prices fall while extractive institutions persist, rent-seeking institutions temporarily generate lower inequalities. Through this lens, recent declines in Latin American inequalities should be seen as a short-lived phenomenon likely to be reversed.","PeriodicalId":394700,"journal":{"name":"The Graduate Inequality Review","volume":"278 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116555415","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This piece departs from the assumption that it is important to broaden the scope ofresearch about inequalities and go beyond the most common approaches to the topic, such as studies which focus on the structures that produce and perpetuate inequalities. In the contemporary world there are a variety of types of inequalities based on identities related not only to social class, but also to gender, religion, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and so on. I will argue that, by focusing on the individual, the concept of “stigma”, as introduced by Erving Goffman, alongside the mechanisms of “dehumanization” and “infrahumanization”, as currently studied in the fields of neurosciences and social psychology, may contribute to a better understanding of patterns of reproduction and reinforcement of inequalities in contemporary societies. They are also useful for devising strategies to rehumanize those that live at the margins of society. In fact, it is part of the research agenda of social psychologists and neuroscientists that have been studying processes of dehumanization and infrahumanization to conceive measures that could contribute to abolish (or at least reduce) the proclivity ofcertain perpetrators to dehumanize other human beings. I will finally argue that the branches ofsocial sciences that most commonly study inequalities at a macro level (economics and sociology) or a microlevel (anthropology) would greatly benefit from coming into closer contact with the research on dehumanization and infrahumanization being undertaken in the fields of social psychology and neurosciences, and vice-versa.","PeriodicalId":394700,"journal":{"name":"The Graduate Inequality Review","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125175568","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"‘Just Give Money to the Parents’: A Critical and Comparative Policy Analysis of Childhood Poverty in the United States and the Child Tax Credit","authors":"Trevor O'Connor","doi":"10.56298/kyvpw86gjy","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.56298/kyvpw86gjy","url":null,"abstract":"In January 2022 alone, over 3.7 million American children were pushed into the throes ofpoverty. This striking number marks a 41% increase from December 2021 when the expanded monthly US Child Tax Credit (CTC) expired, leaving many families without the economic life raft to keep them afloat. Such an increase in child poverty has concrete and damaging social, political, economic, and ethical ramifications. Over the past decades, a plethora of studies have established a clear, causal link between the stress, shame, and material deprivation of poverty and the negative consequences on early childhood development and life chances. Economically, childhood poverty costs the US $1.3 trillion annually in lost productivity and social ills, about 5.4% of GDP. This paper seeks to critically examine the causes, consequences, and burgeoning solutions to childhood poverty in the United States through a policy review and accompanying policy memo. The policy review is divided into four constituent parts: 1) an overview of American childhood poverty, 2) a critical analysis of the US’ current approaches, 3) an outline of alternative policy approaches, and 4) an outline of possible policy options for the US. This policy review, utilising the latest empirical evidence and embedded within poverty literature, is followed by a policy memo written to the Chair of the US Senate Budget Committee, urging for the introduction of a permanent monthly, expanded, non-citizenship based, inflation-indexed, and ‘refundable’ Child Tax Credit that will serve as a minimum guaranteed income for America’s families.","PeriodicalId":394700,"journal":{"name":"The Graduate Inequality Review","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114555718","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
