What can be done to reduce this gap? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge and experience.

It has been observed that the distance between the affluent and the needy people is getting bigger. This large distance has caused some problems such as discrimination, erosion of humanitarian gestures. Benefiting the destitute masses with some loan schemes to make them independent to earn well can assist in decreasing this gap.

First off, the disparity in society will enhance. The rich will look down upon the poor. The weaker section will feel segregated from other classes, and resultantly their ideas will clash, and different ideologies will establish, which will be because of the emergence of nefarious activities in the community such as theft, murder or kidnapping for the sake of
money. The helpless people will take part in these abominable activities to survive in this world. Moreover, erosion of humanitarian gestures is inevitable. There will be no pity, affection or respect for each other. Superiority complex among elite class people will make them egoistic, and which will be destructive for the community. Individuals will be ruthless.

On the other hand, if this gap creates a problem; then, there are many ways to reduce this gap. Firstly, the downtrodden people must be helped by the government. This help can be provided to them in the form of giving them some loans so that they can initiate their own business or shops to make both ends meet. When they are able to earn well, they can raise their head high in society, and they will be respected by other people. The poor people will have no need to do kidnapping or murder someone for collecting money to fulfil their family’s needs. Secondly, inculcating human values among society people can help in lowering the gap. This can be done through dramatization as well as speeches by renowned personalities. This approach will be helpful in melting the hearts of hard-hearted people and filling sympathetic feelings for the wretched creatures.

To conclude, in consideration of the above analysis, it is ostensible that the difference between the wealthy and needy people will create disparity and loss of human values. However, loan schemes and cultivating human values through dramas and speeches by eminent personalities can bridge the gap, and egalitarian society will emerge.
