1. (YOU MUST WRITE NOTES ON THIS QUESTION) "The wealth of the
few depends upon the poverty of many." My personal opinion on this
statement is most closely described by:
a. So long as I am amongst the few I don't care.
b. This is just not true – the rich are simply more “diligent, intelligent,
and above all frugal”.
c. This is just not true – if it were not for the generous wealthy, the
poor would be even poorer than they are.
d. This is absolutely true – there is only so much wealth in the world at
any one moment so if one person has more than their share someone
else has to have less than their share.
e. This is absolutely true and given how much poverty there is we ought
to do something about it.
Choice now: e. This is absolutely true and given how much poverty

Notes: Wealth inequality is a systemic issue where economic structures
often favor the accumulation of wealth by a few while keeping many in
poverty. Progressive taxation, fair wages, and social policies can help
address these disparities.

“In order to have the continued opportunity to express their
‘generosity,’ the oppressors must perpetuate injustice as well.” (Paulo
Freire) My personal opinion on this statement is most closely described
by:
a. This is crazy ‘commie’ nonsense from Freire – it’s a disgrace that
Unisa allows this rubbish to appear in its official study material.
b. This is rubbish - if it were not for the essential goodness of the
wealthy, the lives of the poor would be so much worse than they
already are..
c. So let me get this straight – Freire is saying that in order for some
(like Bill Gates for instance) to continue being generous, wealth AND
poverty need to be sustained? I’m going to have to think about this.
d. Freire is absolutely right - all this ‘generosity’ just makes rich people
look like the heroes when actually they are the villains.
e. How can you possibly say something as ungrateful as option d?
