Chapter 4


         Charon had state “The answer is the development of social structure within every organization: society, community, formal organizations, groups, and most relationships. The process of social structure is inevitable, and the structure is almost always inequality,” (pg 69) This states no matter what inequality, it will always exist, because if there is no structure, our personal traits raises competition against ourselves. There will always be someone that is going to be smarter, faster, and better looking. These traits give people in higher position the right to divide labor based on their opinion of who is better working. 
          Inequality exist everywhere in society in different ways, for me, I am  Asian, and I always lived in New York, so there are so many other races in here. I think there is inequality during races. For example, people would divide by their location, mostly Asians lives in Chinatown, or 8th Ave in Brooklyn, and people would also divide by their job, most of Asian work in restaurant and salon.
          The United States is an immigrant country, there are too many different kinds of ethnicity, and therefore, racial is a big part of inequality in the United States. Such as income inequality, education, or crime rate, etc. For example, sociologists will always statistically create the percentage of what kind of ethnicity are involved in crimes annually.  One more example of the graph below:
Sociologist would always statistically show how inequality of a certain thing, based on these graph, we can see white people has more wealth than Hispanic and Black, and there is a big difference on it.
