Injustice: why social inequality persistsDanny Dorling
ย
The document discusses why social inequality persists. It argues that in affluent nations, inequality is no longer caused by a lack of resources but by unrecognized beliefs that propagate it. These beliefs include that elitism is efficient, exclusion is necessary, and prejudice is natural. The document provides historical and statistical evidence to show how these beliefs have led to rising inequality in places like the UK over time through policies that concentrate wealth among a small minority.

This document summarizes key statistics from a study on global causes of death, including:
- There are approximately 57 million deaths per year globally from various causes.
- The largest causes of death are non-communicable illnesses at 33.6 million deaths per year and cardiovascular disease at 16.8 million deaths per year.
- Preventable deaths from infectious diseases, maternal issues, and malnutrition account for 18.5 million deaths per year.
- Causes of death are mapped and categorized by disease, age, region, and level of prevention. The data shows stark inequalities in health and life expectancy around the world.

The kind of society we live in is said to effect who we are and what happens to us, helping even to determine how long on average we live. In this talk I'll make the case for the importance of inequalities and present some results comparing different countries. I'll talk quite a lot about health, but I think all these issues are closely connected. I'll end by mentioning racism and the theory that it is something akin to racism that divides us most deeply.
The document provides an overview and analysis of injustice in Britain over the past year since the publication of Danny Dorling's book "Injustice". It discusses how each of the original five arguments from the book have played out or intensified in the past 12 months across areas like education, inequality, prejudice, greed, and mental health. It then considers what is likely to occur in Britain in the near future if current trends of increasing inequality, privatization, and austerity measures continue unchecked, looking at examples from other countries on possible paths Britain could take. The author maintains a hopeful note by also outlining alternative policies from other nations that have been more successful at reducing regional divides and inequality.
The document is a teacher answer key for a film series questionnaire about overpopulation. It addresses topics like unprecedented population growth, current population projections, birth rates in different countries, how immigration has changed population trends in England, debates around immigration as a political issue, hypothetical scenarios of fitting the entire world's population into one city, and some positive impacts of population growth. The teacher provides concise answers to questions about these topics related to understanding challenges of supporting a growing global population.
The EU - Should we stay or should we go?Danny Dorling
ย
This document discusses several issues related to the UK's membership in the EU. It notes that inequality is higher in the UK than other EU countries. It also discusses polarization in the UK, differences in health and education outcomes compared to other developed nations, and issues related to the UK's declining global power and changing national identity. Overall, it argues that leaving the EU will not necessarily solve the UK's problems and that the EU is not responsible for many domestic issues like inequality and underfunding of healthcare.
Global population growth has occurred in three stages. The first stage saw high mortality and birth rates resulting in low population increase. The second stage saw declining mortality and sustained high birth rates, leading to rapid population growth and increased life expectancy. The third stage features declining birth and mortality rates, slowing population growth. Some countries now see negative population growth. Improvements in hygiene, diet, vaccines, healthcare and medicine facilitated 19th century population growth. Population distribution is unequal due to physical factors like population density, which is the total population divided by the land area. Natality is the birth rate calculated as births per 1000 people per year. Mortality is the death rate calculated as deaths per 1000 people per year. Natural increase is the

Before a career in academia Danny was employed as a play-worker in children's play-schemes and in pre-school education where the underlying rationale was that playing is learning for living. He tries not to forget this by playing with data surrounding peopleโs lives and representing the results in new, novel and stark ways which usually reveal the inequality of the lives we each live.
Brief presentation that describes how the FOUR-FOLD explosive growth of global population that has occurred in the last 100 years is the underlying root cause of on-going environmental destruction and threatens the existance of all higher animal species on this planet, including our own.
The document discusses overpopulation and its environmental impacts. It argues that population growth is the primary driver of issues like depletion of resources, climate change, and extinction of species. While organizations like Friends of the Earth do not see population growth as a major issue, the document claims their proposed solutions around reducing consumption will not be enough to avoid global collapse given the rising population. It advocates for measures to stabilize populations in developing countries and reduce populations in developed countries through education and access to family planning.

Consumption Dwarfs Population
as Main Environmental Threat
It's overconsumption, not population growth, that is the fundamental problem: By almost any measure, a small portion of the world's people โ those in the affluent, developed world โ use up most of the Earth's resources and produce most of its greenhouse gas emissions.
by fred pearce
Itโs the great taboo, I hear many environmentalists say. Population growth is the driving force behind our wrecking of the planet, but we are afraid to discuss it.
It sounds like a no-brainer. More people must inevitably be bad for the environment, taking more resources and causing more pollution, driving the planet ever farther beyond its carrying capacity. But hold on. This is a terribly convenient argument โ โover-consumersโ in rich countries can blame โover-breedersโ in distant lands for the state of the planet. But what are the facts?
The worldโs population quadrupled to six billion people during the 20th century. It is still rising and may reach 9 billion by 2050. Yet for at least the past century, rising per-capita incomes have outstripped the rising head count several times over. And while incomes donโt translate precisely into increased resource use and pollution, the correlation is distressingly strong.
Moreover, most of the extra consumption has been in rich countries that have long since given up adding substantial numbers to their population.
By almost any measure, a small proportion of the worldโs people take the majority of the worldโs resources and produce the majority of its pollution.
The worldโs richest half-billion people are responsible for 50 percent of the worldโs carbon dioxide emissions.
Take carbon dioxide emissions โ a measure of our impact on climate but also a surrogate for fossil fuel consumption. Stephen Pacala, director of the Princeton Environment Institute, calculates that the worldโs richest half-billion people โ thatโs about 7 percent of the global population โ are responsible for 50 percent of the worldโs carbon dioxide emissions. Meanwhile the poorest 50 percent are responsible for just 7 percent of emissions.
Although overconsumption has a profound effect on greenhouse gas emissions, the impacts of our high standard of living extend beyond turning up the temperature of the planet. For a wider perspective of humanityโs effects on the planet's life support systems, the best available measure is the โecological footprint,โ which estimates the area of land required to provide each of us with food, clothing, and other resources, as well as to soak up our pollution. This analysis has its methodological problems, but its comparisons between nations are firm enough to be useful.
They show that sustaining the lifestyle of the average American takes 9.5 hectares, while Australians and Canadians require 7.8 and 7.1 hectares respectively; Britons, 5.3 hectares; Germans, 4.2; and the Japanese, 4.9. The world average is 2.7 hectares. China is still below that figure at 2.
The document provides information about extreme poverty around the world. It notes that the percentage of the global population living in extreme poverty (defined as less than $1.90 per day) has declined significantly from 84% in 1820 to 10% in 2015. While progress has been made, many people still live in extreme poverty, with over half located in just three countries: India, Nigeria, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The document also discusses the human impact and daily struggles of life in extreme poverty.
The document discusses several sustainability issues facing the world today, including population growth, increasing consumption, and ecological overshoot. It notes that the global population has grown significantly in recent decades due to lowered mortality rates, and consumption patterns especially in Western countries have put pressure on the planet's resources. The world population is currently living unsustainably, using over 20% more than what the Earth's biocapacity can regenerate each year.
This document discusses factors that affect population distribution and differences in global population patterns. Physical factors like climate, topography, soil quality, and access to water influence where people live. Human factors such as economic opportunities, political decisions, and technology development also impact population distribution. There are large inequalities in population numbers and characteristics between more developed and less developed regions. Asia has the largest population while Oceania has the smallest population. Most countries in Africa and Asia have high population growth rates while rates are lower in Europe, North America, and Oceania.
- There are over 7 billion people living unequally distributed across Earth's surface due to physical and human factors. Physical factors like climate, topography, soil and water availability influence where people live. Human factors like political, economic and technological decisions also impact population distribution.
- Asia has the largest population due to high birth rates and increased life expectancy. Africa has a young population with high birth rates, though also high death rates. Europe and North America have stabilized populations with low birth and death rates. There are global disparities in development between wealthy developed nations and poorer developing nations.
The document provides an overview of 10 key global megatrends based on categories of population, economic value, and social issues. It summarizes that violence has declined overall but the threat of catastrophe has increased; atheism may decrease as a percentage of the population; and slavery is growing to the highest levels in history despite increasing literacy and challenges to organized religion. The document analyzes trends across several indicators to identify the most important topics to explore further.
This document provides an overview of a course on income distributions, inequality, and poverty indices. It lists several references on these topics, including works by Atkinson, Stiglitz, Fleurbaey, Maniquet, Kolm, and Sen. The document then presents data from various sources on the distribution of wealth and incomes in countries like the US, France, UK, Canada, and Germany. It shows that perceptions of wealth distribution differ from reality. It also discusses trends in top income shares from Piketty's work, rising poverty levels in France between 2009-2010, and graphs of income distribution in France.
This document provides an overview of a course on welfare, inequality, and poverty. It lists several references on related topics and outlines what will be covered in the course, including income distributions, inequality indices, and the econometrics of poverty measures. Examples and data are presented comparing wealth and income inequality and poverty rates across countries like the US, France, UK, Canada, and Germany. Trends in top income shares, poverty levels in France, and income distributions in France are also summarized.
This document summarizes key statistics about population, quality of life, land use, energy consumption, and wealth for five world regions: Africa, Asia, Latin America, Europe, and North America. It was presented as part of an activity to demonstrate global differences and their impacts. The activity used regional ambassadors, matches representing energy use, and candy representing wealth to illustrate disparities and spark discussion about related issues.

Another World is Inevitable: Mapping UK General ElectionsDanny Dorling
ย
This lecture by Professor Danny Dorling (held at the British Library 28 Nov 2016) is about how British general elections have been mapped in the past, but with a concentration on the very recent past and especially in 2015. There will also be speculation about what the future may hold, not just in terms of new political mapping techniques but in the much wider range of possible electoral outcomes we should consider as being plausible. Rather like meteorologists, political scientists have a tendency to use recent events to predict the political weather. However, if and when the climate changes, what was once thought to be impossible becomes reality. From choosing which colours to use to depict a growing range of parties on the map, through to how we might depict uncertainly in our predictions, we have choices to make. Danny will ask how ready we are to entertain the possibility of rapid change. Eventually everything always changes. At some times change comes quickly.

The Geography of our Future: Understanding the consequences of the AnthropoceneDanny Dorling
ย
This document discusses the concept of the Anthropocene and how humans have become a dominant geological force impacting the Earth. It outlines 5 potential stages of the Anthropocene from early agriculture to the current Great Acceleration period, noting key events like the Columbian Exchange and Industrial Revolutions that drove major environmental changes. While some impacts were small prior to the 1800s, the document argues that the scale of human influences has grown enormously in recent centuries through population growth, consumption, and the rise of neoliberal capitalism. It questions whether future trends could lead to severe environmental consequences like a 4ยฐC rise in temperatures, and explores potential pathways to a more equitable and sustainable future geography.

Theories of Potential and the Creation of InequalityDanny Dorling
ย
This document discusses theories of potential and how inequality is created. It touches on several topics:
- How individual characteristics like looks, sex, height can affect snap judgments and influence potential but societal factors matter most.
- Potential is influenced by many factors from early life through adulthood, including family circumstances, where one lives, and access to opportunities like internships.
- While some argue only a few have great potential, the document argues potential is collective and not realizing everyone's potential perpetuates inequality. Genes may provide small advantages but no "super genes"; environment and society are larger influences on one's path in life.

This document discusses trends in employment in the United Kingdom from 1991-2000 based on census data. It shows that there was a decline in manufacturing jobs and a rise in finance sector employment, contributing to a polarization of industries. Additionally, it found an increase in both high-paid professional occupations and low-paid elementary jobs, further segmenting society. A key trend was a rise in dual-income households and declining numbers of people who are permanently sick or disabled.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the bodyโs response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

17. Part 2: Originally from the Monday night lecture 17.05.2010, Royal Geographical Society, London Is more equal more green? The famous โEarth at nightโ image reprojected on an equal population cartogram
18. Global Inequality 24 of the richest countries of the world (by GDP per capita) which are home to at least two million people,they are home to 13% of the worldโs population, and almost 50% of world income (GDP)
19. Global Population Germany UK USA Japan France Spain This is a reprojection of the population distribution, showing where most people are livingA few countries are highlighted to make it easier to read.
20. Global Wealth Germany UK USA Japan France Spain The world resized according to each countryโs gross domestic product Source: modified and updated map from www.worldmapper .org
21. Inequality in Britain 2010: By wealth Britain has become more unequal that at any time since 1918. This is not least because of continuously rising income inequalities. Rising income inequalities, even after tax move the country a quarter of the way towards the position of the USA (1997-2008). Health inequalities between areas surpass the last maxima recorded in the 1930s. Sources: see http://www.sheffield.ac.uk/geography/staff/dorling_danny/papers.html
22. Understanding Inequality Inequality can be explained by looking at the ratio of the share of income from the richest 10% to the poorest 10% of the population. In the United Kingdom this ratio is 13โ8 ...but what does it mean? This ratio was revealed by the UNDP in their world report 2009 (table M)
23. Understanding Inequality For this, let us have a look at the wealth of 26 people living in our country. Letโs talk about Alfie, Benjamin, Charlotte, Danny, Emily, Finley, Grace, Harry, Isaac, Jack, Katie, Lily, Mohammed, Noah, Oliver, Phoebe, Queenie, Ruby, Sophie, Thomas, Ursula, Vernon, William, Xavier, Yugo...and Zac. These 26 people are not typical, 14 are from the poorest tenth, only 1 from the richest
24. ยฃ100 So there is Zac. Zac is a typical member of the richest 10% of people in Britain when all ranked by income. Letโs have a look at a small fraction of his income. Letโs have a look at ยฃ100 of his recently acquired money. Zac may earn ยฃ100 in an hour if he is one of the very best off amongst the top 10%
25. ยฃ50 Below Zac the next group earn much less. Yugo and Xavier look up to him, because they only gain ยฃ50 for every ยฃ100 he gains.At the same time... For everyone in Zacโs position there are two people earning half as much as him
26. ยฃ28 ...William, Vernon and Ursula have ยฃ28.They see that there are some people above them, having almost twice to four times as much as they do. And while they think of getting more... For everyone in Xavierโs and Yugoโs position there are three earning half again.
27. ยฃ14 ...Thomas, Sophie, Ruby, Queenie, Phoebe and Oliver live with ยฃ14 in their pocket and see the others above them. And this is not the end, because... And again - but still all these people are not amongst the poorest tenth
28. ยฃ7 ...at the same time Noah, Mohammed, Lily, Katie, Jack, Isaac, Harry, Grace, Finley, Emily, Danny, Charlotte, Benjamin and Alfie are left with ยฃ7 each. Only they all together manage to get the ยฃ100 that Zac has in his pocket. In practise the poorest tenth of people in Britain earn or receive around: ยฃ9 a day
29. 13โ8! This is an inequality of 13โ8:1.It needs Alfie, Benjamin, Charlotte, Danny, Emily, Finley, Grace, Harry, Isaac, Jack, Katie, Lily, Mohammed and Noah of the poorest 10% of the population to earn all that money that Zac of the richest 10% has alone... In total there are as many Zacs as there are Alfies, or Benjamins, or...
30. Inequality in the rich world Germany 6โ9 UK 13โ8 Japan 4โ5 USA 15โ9 France 9โ1 Spain 10โ3 In most other affluent countries the lives and income of Zacs and Alfies are more similar
31. Super-rich Wealth inequalities are far greater than income inequalities: The richest 10% in London have wealth which is 273 times greater than that of the poorest 10%. The wealth of the 1000 richest in the UK is even greater: 359 times higher than that of the richest 10%. These super-rich own ยฃ335.5 billion, adding ยฃ77 billion to their wealth in 2009 alone. Calculated from figures provided by the Hills enquiry and Sunday Times, 2010
32. Effects of inequality Nobody can spend as much money as the super rich have! You might then think that there is less waste if wealth is distributed like this.Is that true? You might think this isnโt real wealth, and people arenโt really that poor. So how do inequality and a consumption correlate? Isnโt it better to have the rich as custodians of most of the national wealth?
33. The effects of the effects...of inequality We are going to look at Meat consumption Water consumption Waste production Number of Flights Ecological impact in each of the most affluent countries. You might think: "Surely, if a few people hold most of the wealth we all consume less?"
34. Inequality and meat USA Spain France Meat consumption in kg per year per person Germany UK Japan Inequality Not if you are concerned about how much meat we farm and consume
35. Inequality and water USA Spain France water in m3 per year per person Germany UK Japan Inequality Not if you are concerned about how much water we use (apart from the UK!)
36. Inequality and waste 1100 Singapore USA Spain Municipal waste collected (kg per capita per year) France UK Germany Japan Inequality Not if you are concerned about how much waste we each produce
37. Inequality and flights New Zealand 60 Ireland Norway Canada USA annual aircraft departures per thousand people UK Spain France Germany Italy Japan Inequality Not if you are concerned about how many flights we each take (on average)
38. Inequality and ecology USA Ecological footprint in global hectares per capita Spain UK Japan France Singapore Germany Inequality Not if you are concerned about how many planets we might need to exist:An Ecological Footprint of 2.1 global hectares per capita equals one-planet living
39. Data sources UNDP/FAO http://www.worldmapper.org/display.php?selected=126 UNDP/LPR http://www.worldmapper.org/display.php?selected=104 UNSD http://unstats.un.org/unsd/ENVIRONMENT/qindicators.htm World Bank World Development Indicators 2005 (IS.AIR.DPRT) WWF Living Planet Index 2008 More and more geographical data is becoming available, often for the first time.
40. Ecological impact of the rich How does this relate to the ecological impact of those 24 countries on the globe as a whole, and how do the poorer nations compare โ to what extent does global inequality have an impact on a sustainable future of the planet as well as inequalities within the rich world? The poor in unequal rich countries consume more than in more equal countries
41. Ecological Footprint The map shows the ecological footprint (EF), a measure of the resources used per head in each country. A EF of 2.1 global hectares per capita equals one-planet living on the basis that everyone is entitled to the same amount of the planetโs natural resources. - Source: New Economics Foundation, Happy Planet Index
42. Ecological Footprint When we draw the same map upon the world population cartogram it may not initially appear to be so bad. The countries that consume too much contain fewer people, so not such a problem?However...This map is misleading โ we need to reproject the basemap again for a fair picture
43. Ecological Footprint Germany UK Japan USA France Spain If we reproject the globe again so that the area of each grid cell is drawn in proportion to the ecological impact of the people who live in that area, then we see that most of the damage is being caused by the rich world and more of that (per capita) by the most unequal countries of the rich world (which China services).
44. Conclusion โWe should โฆ dethrone the idea that maximising the growth in measured prosperity, GDP per capita, should be an explicit objective of economic and social policy.โ Adair Turner, Chair of the UK Financial Services Authority, 2007 โThey want the politics of hope and not the politics of fear and thatโs what we are about.โ Caroline Lucas, Green Party, 2010http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/georgemonbiot/2010/may/07/caroline-lucas-uk-first-green-mp
45. Conclusion To consume less, you need to feelyou have more in common with other people. If success is about having a lot of money,success is about consuming more and wasting more. Consumption by everybody is lessin countries where everyone is more equal. All affluent countries need to reduce their levels of consumption by reducing social inequalities. Through their dominance of global media and marketing the rest of the world usually looks up towards richer countries. What example are we providing?
46. Suicide (deaths due to self-inflicted injury) was often and in some places still is considered to be a sin or a crime. Now it usually recognised as being due to mental illness (psychiatric disorders), and is the commonest cause of death amongst people with depression, manic-depression, and schizophrenia. Mentally ill people are far more a danger to themselves than to others.. Map of suicides: http://www.worldmapper.org/display_extra.php?selected=482
49. The map shows the population of each territory multiplied by the Human Development Index of the United Nations Development Program. This is a measure of quality of life. It combines measures of health, wealth and education in a territory.

56. In 2003, 92% of malaria cases and 94% of malarial deaths were recorded as being in African territories. The other 6% of deaths were mainly in Asia Pacific and Southern Asia.The total deaths recorded were 0.15% of the total cases. Whilst there were most malaria cases in Southeastern Africa, there were most deaths in Central Africa. Symptoms of malaria include fever and vomiting. Most deaths occur in cerebral malaria.
