Understanding Subordinating Conjunctions in Social Contexts

In many communities, social inequality persists because resources are unevenly distributed. Although some citizens advocate for equitable policies, others argue that individual effort is the key to success. Because of this division, progress often stalls, and solutions remain elusive.
