Our world population has increased significantly in the last 50 years. With the increase in population, the same with the problems happened to occur in our world generally. In this case I'm talking about poverty. In my mind it is one of the most serious problems in our world, because it is global. So certainly we should know what "global stratification" is because it helps to understand full dimension of global poverty.
Basically, the global layering the pattern of global inequality in the world as a whole. The difference between the nations and their income and assets - this may be the most important indicators of global stratification. For example, 20% of the richest population in the world earned 77% of total income; However, 20% of the poorest earn only 2%.
Although recent studies found that overall, people become richer, compared to the beginning of the 20th century, the rich increase their wealth and income faster than the poor, so that the difference between rich and poor people is growing.
When I talk about different things or events I like with my own experience or experience my family to compare. In this case we are talking about poverty in a world as a whole. But let's face it, our wealth depends mainly on ourselves. I believe that we are creators of our lives.
For example, my grandfather was a hillbilly living in a small village in the central part of the Soviet Union. However, he was the only person in the village who managed to get the highest grade in art in St. Petersburg. Later in the late 70s, our family moved to Tallinn, like my grandfather, a Chief Engineer was. But when the Soviet Union collapsed our family lost almost everything. Since my parents were 19 year old only when I was born, have managed not to get higher education. The first part of the 90's was not the best for our family. Business has been so good because it was very dangerous, and unfortunately fragile. So sometimes we had the best food to eat, no. However, my parents began to study. And now my father is one of the most famous Russian-speaking lawyers in Estonia, and he has to study law know in PhD at the University of Tartu. My mother is a financial director.
The moral is quite simple, if you want to achieve something, you should work hard.
