On my yesterday post i covered the basics about how people treated each other in their early days of existence. I don’t think its worth to mention the Roman Empire or the medieval ages, more or less the same rules apply as of the first part. The only thing worth mentioning is when women earned the right to vote in the western world but I don’t think how this balanced things.Let’s see why.
For thousands of years we treat each other in ways to satisfy our own interests and survival (individuals or society), why would you ever think, even for a moment that this could change now? Just like the slaves in our first civilizations, now we have Chinese or Indians to work in factories and create staff and gadgets for multinational companies, who sell their products to the "civilized". We have immigrants to “serve” us either as work labors or we choose the best for academia and research. And please, please don’t tell me about the globalized new world and the equal opportunities it gives I am going to puke. If it gave equal opportunities, then people wouldn’t need to migrate in order to have a dignified life, so simple, so true.
A happy day in the chinese society
Even in our so called civilized society, we can see class distinction. The wealthier people tend to spend more money for their children’s education, for them to have higher possibilities to get a better job and salary in the future. In contrast children whose parents are part of the lower classes of society, tend to end up in the same class as their parents because less money are spent for their education (obviously the previous example is not the rule but is commonly seen..). Also please check this and this article about middle class and minorities education.
And to be clear, for those who read the post and didn’t just skipped to the end, I believe all people are equal (except from some criminals, uncultured and brain dead people) meaning they should have equal rights and liabilities, protected by their constitution and laws.Also there are always opportunities ( at least in the civilized world ) to rank up in the hierarchy and be among the ruling class, even around the pharaoh no matter the social position…
ALERT!!! NOT EQUAL!!!
That’s all folks! To be honest I didn't enjoy this article very much I will try to redeem myself tommorow, where the menu includes economics, but still I haven’t decided the subject yet… Give an idea if u like or I will have to improvise!
