When researching inequality on the global scale it is important to see how the effects of each country actually effects our home country. Each country has something to distribute and share with the world and countries around them. Whether that something is a good or bad thing depends on the country and stratification. I'm interested in the countries that may not have much to contribute to the rest of the world and the reasoning behind such. I believe that each country that doesn't have much to contribute to society may not because of corruption in regards to who ever is running that country. Politicians in those country's may be stealing money from that countries export/import business. Most poor country's economy's are one sided and the leaders of such country didn't take the time throughout history to actually change the colony to a more economical state. Each country started off as a colony in many ways. Many country's such as America took the time to change from that colony a more agricultural/economical and technological state. Other country's such as Somalia for example throughout time never changed from the colonial state that they were in from the start and are still trying to transition into a more economical country. Global stratification being an uneven distribution of privileges, material rewards, opportunities, power, prestige and influence among individuals and groups shows the difference between richer countries such as America and poorer country's like Somalia.
