So we finally are at the end of this class and I can admit I learned a few things along the way. A lot of it I had learned in previous classes but a few subjects were new to me. I had never really thought about how the bicycle or hammer could result in inequalities. Given the world design is focused on innovation and growth, it will probably never be completely equal. Some inequalities are intentional, others are not. For example, Robert Moses’ bridges in New York are a clear case of discrimination (although in class we were able to claim its defense).
We are in a time where technology runs the world. It is now business as usual. Inequalities are inevitable but we can try to limit them in the advancements and innovations of technology. We can do this by putting people first, business/money etc., second.
