        • Almost everyone benefits from greater equality.
        • Bijna iedereen geniet van grotere gelijkheid.
        • Usually the benefits are greatest among the poor but extend to the majority of the population.
        • Normaal zijn de voordelen het grootst voor de armen, maar dit geldt voor de meerderheid van de bevolking.

    19. Single parents and child wellbeing Alleenstaande ouders en kinderwelzijn
    20. Why are we so sensitive to inequality? Waarom zijn we zo gevoelig voor ongelijkheid?
    21. What kind of stress most reliably raises cortisol levels? Welk soort van stress doet het niveau van cortisol (stresshormoon) verhogen? A meta-analysis of 208 laboratory studies of cortisol responses to acute stressors found that “Tasks that included social-evaluative threat (such as threats to self-esteem or social status), in which others could negatively judge performance, particularly when the outcome of the performance was uncontrollable, provoked larger and more reliable cortisol changes than stressors without these particular threats.” Uit een meta-analyse van 208 laboratorische studies van cortisol (stresshormoon) reacties op acute stressverwekkers blijkt dat taken met een sociaal-evaluatieve bedreiging (zoals bedreigingen van het zelfvertrouwen en sociale status), waarin anderen negatief konden beoordelen, ontlokken grotere en meer betrouwbare cortisol veranderingen dan stressverwekkers zonder deze bedreigingen.
    22. What kind of stress most reliably raises cortisol levels? Welk soort van stress doet het niveau van cortisol (stresshormoon) verhogen? "Humans are driven to preserve the social self and are vigilant to threats that may jeopardize their social esteem or status.” “ Mensen zijn gedreven om het sociale zelf te bewaren en zijn op hun hoede voor bedreigingen die hun sociaal vertrouwen of status in gevaar brengen.”
    23. Gilligan J. Violence: Our Deadly Epidemic and its Causes. (G .P. Putnam 1996) " ...the prison inmates I work with have told me repeatedly, when I asked them why they had assaulted someone, that it was because 'he disrespected me', or 'he disrespected my visit' (meaning 'visitor'). The word 'disrespect' is central in the vocabulary, moral value system, and psychodynamics of these chronically violent men that they have abbreviated it into the slang term, 'he dis'ed me." p.106 A few pages further on Gilligan continues:- "I have yet to see a serious act of violence that was not provoked by the experience of feeling shamed and humiliated, disrespected and ridiculed, and that did not represent the attempt to prevent or undo this "loss of face " - no matter how severe the punishment, even if it includes death." p.110
      • Inequality and Sustainability
      • Consumerism is one of the greatest threats to sustainability
        • Because inequality increases status competition, it also increases consumerism. People in more unequal societies work longer hours because money seems even more important.
      • Consumentisme is een van de grootste bedreigingen van duurzaamheid
        • Omdat ongelijkheid statuscompetitie verhoogt, verhoogt het ook het consumentisme. Mensen in meer ongelijke samenlevingen werken langere uren omdat geld nog belangrijker lijkt.
      • Inequality and Sustainability
      • Concern for the common good is a crucial resource if we are to reduce carbon emissions
        • Because inequality harms the quality of social relations, people become more self-interested, less public spirited, less concerned with the common good. This is shown in the amount of overseas aid countries give, in the proportion of waste recycled, in how countries score on the global peace index, and in how important business leaders think it is that their governments abide by international environmental agreements.
      • Betrokkenheid bij het gezamenlijk goed is cruciaal als we de CO²-uitstoot willen verminderen
        • Omdat ongelijkheid de kwaliteit van sociale relaties aantast, worden mensen meer egocentrisch en minder betrokken bij het gemeenschappelijk goed. Dit is bewezen in de hoeveelheid overzeese hulp landen geven, in de hoeveelheid afval dat gerecycleerd wordt, in hoe landen scoren op de vredesindex, en in hoe belangrijk zakenmensen denken over de belangrijk dat de overheid toetreedt tot internationale milieu-overeenkomsten.
