Citizenship refers to membership in a state under its laws. It requires a shared history and culture between a people and the borders of their country. Like marriage, it develops over time through shared attributes, privileges, and a sense of belonging. However, discrimination can occur based on gender, race, class, and whether one's physical/cultural traits match the indigenous population. This is exacerbated by issues like resource scarcity. For example, Australia's indigenous tribes faced dispossession of land and labeling of their traditions as "barbaric" when Europeans colonized in the 1900s. Movements like feminism have sought to address inequality in citizenship and create more balance between groups. Achieving equal economic capacity for all

1. 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 country
It 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.

2. 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.

3. In Australia for instance, the original aboriginal tribes were
dispossessed off their land .
Their traditions were termed as barbaric
This occurred during the conquest around 1900s
Reason being; they were the minority
This discrimination would have been manifested on the
white settlers
Their 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.

4. 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

5. 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.
