Prior to beginning work on this assignment, watch Richard Wilkinsons TED Talk How Economic Inequality Harms Societies (https://www.ted.com/talks/richard_wilkinson_how_economic_inequality_harms_societies#t-986728). Also, review Section 2.1 and Chapters 3 and 4 from your course text.
For this assignment, address the following in a three- to five- page paper:

Identify some of the common issues that plague unequal societies, according to Wilkinson.
Examine the human cost of unequal societies.
Evaluate how unequal societies challenge authority and globalization overall.
Discuss Wilkinsons expressions of social dysfunction.
