Social Inequality

Topic:
Does social inequality inevitably exist naturally or is it a creation by human society and in either case what is its purpose or reason for existence?
Proposal:
Unfortunately for most, we cannot deny the existence of social inequality in pretty much all societies. Is it then possible to decipher whether this is an unavoidable system of nature or a construct developed over time in societies due to human behavior? For either scenario, is there a purpose for its existence? Does social inequality perhaps serve the society in misconstrued ways that benefits said society and justifies its existence? The purpose of this paper is not to debate whether social inequality should exist or not, but rather to attempt to deconstruct the social construct that is inequality and its purpose. This is not an easy question to answer but luckily much exemplary work can be used to help direct us in the right direction.
