Reference:Abdel Ghafar, A. (2021). Causes and Consequences of Inequality in Egypt. The Muslim World, 111(1), 5-26. doi: 10.1111/muwo.12370The article discusses the unfortunate inequality that the people of Egypt experience in their daily lives. This comes down to the insane wage gaps which force different mindsets upon people and therefore treat each other differently. This includes the wage gap within the country which is a result of the inequality of gender treatment by how men are paid more than Women. Another area of discussion is the spike in military interference and how the military has interfered in market activities and in political areas of the country which has affected the entire population's income.(Abdel Ghafar, A. (2021)).
Analysis:The scholarly peer reviewed article goes into deep details as it talks about the revolution and how “The income tax rate for the highest earners briefly went up to 30 percent in the aftermath of the revolution”(Abdel Ghafar, A. (2021)). This brings insight to how Egypt suffered greatly (in the financial side) as the cause of the increase in taxation was brought upon by the people since it was them who caused this revolution to change the president in a forceful method. This is interesting since it brings into question whether the Egyptians brought upon their own downfall in terms of economy and in lifestyle. An interesting point mentioned is that because of the revolution and the increase in tax, businesses have found methods to evade taxes and inflict deeper financial wounds into the people’s salaries (Abdel Ghafar, A. (2021)).

Summary of a reddit post on this scenario:
This post supposedly talks about how Egyptians have caused their own downfall by making fun of the general population through a meme.
Analysis: The use of a meme in this post makes fun of the general population, however the comments that have been mentioned such as “If we kill all the Egyptians, there will be no poverty in Egypt.”([deleted](2018,March 26)). It blatantly insults Egyptians which could suggest that Egyptians are fools in creating this situation for themselves and how it’s their fault that they are suffering from poverty. Another comment made on this post is extremely offensive Uncle_Jalepeno(2018,March 31) to the Egyptian population, however it is extremely unreliable as there are no claims to back the claims of such comments. Therefore these comments in general are not informative to any users who plan to educate themselves upon the issue.
