This is shown in Seinfeld when Kramer and George purchased a secondhand wheelchair for Kramer's girlfriend, as it was significantly cheaper than a brand new one. A further analysis of the Seinfeld group illustrates that their decision was not only the result of both their personal characteristics and lack of information, but also the product of the group identity as a whole. Another example was when the group had to buy an engagement present for their good friend and each decided to chip-in to purchase a big-screen TV that was on sale. Although good deeds were performed, concern for the interests and outcomes of the group were of more importance. Kramer and George made a poor decision
Inequality is a term used to describe the unequal distribution of valued social resources therefore its an unfair situation, in which some groups in society have more money, opportunities or power than others. In both study materials, the making social lives DVD and Learning Companion 1, we look at City Road. This road consists of lots of different shops, majority of which are restaurants and takeaways targeted at the local ethnic minority and student populations. After studying both study materials I have come to acknowledge the many different inequalities on City Road. The first inequality I will talk about is an Ethnic inequality.
Secondly it examines reason why Britain has become a ‘nation of home owners’ and how renting has come to be perceived as an ‘inferior’ tenure. Thirdly it looks at the effects of this redistribution of the housing stock what caused people to be deemed ‘socially excluded by the New Labour government. The key claim is that social exclusion is a result of two conflicting social ideologies that manifest through social and housing policy and it is not the architecture of the social housing estates that causes their demise but their social mix in terms of tenure, and the way this is perceived by the wider population.

How some benefit and others lose on a street you know. To see how some benefit and others lose on City Road, a busy main road, in Cardiff is to look at what social inequalities exist on the road. Inequalities are ‘the unequal distribution of valued social resources within a society or between societies’ (Blakely et al, 09, pg24). Differences that can cause inequalities include age, race, gender, class and ethnicity and there are examples of these which we can see on City Road, looking at how differences such as the changes in the road between day and night, and how new businesses in the street can cause social inequalities. The street is used differently between day and night, in the day there is the school run, people out shopping and eating in cafés, whereas at night there’s people visiting pubs, clubs and restaurants.
Meanwhile, at Medtronic, their product development was falling behind. In the wake of the company’s growth, functional managers (who historically supervised product development at Medtronic) were becoming busier and busier with operations, while coordination fell through the cracks. Medtronic had many suggestions for new products but lacked the required focus and attention to get projects done quickly. In the end, each new project was already out of date (lagging competitors) by the time it got to market. Another factor relating to development teams was that they had separate development teams working on the two different physical architectures.

Alienating is a very powerful way to keep the worker under the owners belt.
