Citizenship is the status of a person recognized as a member of a state under the custom laws.This context can exist without an historical background a people have shared prior to the formation of the defined geographical borders that enclose a countryIt is like marriage; people don’t meet today in the streets and end up the next minute on the altar exchanging vows.These people have certain attributes and a past that draws them together, gives them a heritage, certain privileges and a sense of belonging.

People feel more or less deserving citizens of a country depending on

how they are treated.

How much the state allows them to possess in terms of resources

Inequality is bred through these means

Discrimination based on gender, race, and social classes

People who acquired citizenship through registration may not have the

same physical traits or cultural attributes as the indigenous people.

Depends on who are the majority in that geographical location

Discrimination inevitably occurs, especially when such a society is

bombarded with issues such as scarcity of resources.

In Australia for instance, the original aboriginal tribes were dispossessed off their land .Their traditions were termed as barbaricThis occurred during the conquest around 1900s Reason being; they were the minorityThis discrimination would have been manifested on the white settlersTheir ways would have been considered perverse, a loss of identity and values.

As long as we are from diverse cultures and economic status in the same planet, we should learn to borrow each other’s methods and integrate our systems.

Lest we find ourselves in constant conflicts with other humans.

People are treated differently according to their gender.Therefore, sexuality is a platform for inequality.Most women are denied employment because certain jobs are thought to be for men.For instance , more men would be employed as drivers, casual labourers and security officers while the number of women getting these jobs is negligible.More men are , therefore, independent and more women have to rely on them.

It is impossible for people to control their life, their dreams and aspirations without economic empowerment.Even though they might be socially and politically aware of their rights and freedom, the question still remains; do they have control of their life

Movements have emerged to combat inequality.Feminism is one such concept that seeks to voice women’s grievances

Look out for their welfare Tries to create an equilibrium with men

Inequality in citizenship is slowly being resolved by modernism and globalisation Cultural fusion takes place due to more interaction among many people from different

places. Perhaps the only question is; How can we ever achieve a levelled economic capacity

for each man and woman? This is the only sure way inequality would disappear from our systems.
