The Spirit Level: Why Greater Equality Makes Societies Stronger

Here are some resources to follow up my presentation on equality in our world:

The Spirit Level:

  • http://www.equalitytrust.org.uk/- Website set up by the authors of The Spirit Level that provides data, initiatives and a clear argument of their philosophy
  • http://i.imgur.com/Cufgf.gif: Statistics shown in class that backup the hypothesis
  • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Spirit_Level:_Why_More_Equal_Societies_Almost_Always_Do_Better: Wikipedia overview
Volunteer Opportunities:

  • For UVM: Volunteers in Action (http://www.uvm.edu/~via/)
  • Burlington: Community Justice Center (http://www.burlingtonvt.gov/CJC/)
*Look for an upcoming blog post on volunteer opportunities through traveling!

  1. Looking forward to reading the abroad volunteer opportunities! Graduation is encroaching upon me and I'm looking into traveling, but I'm not totally sure how I want to go about it.
