new generation seem to have become snobs. Perhaps it's partly down to parents working so hard and compensating with material wealth rather than mental wealth.
But let's be honest, once you spend 10h in an office you won't have the mental stamina to open up a book. But even if you do so, seldom be at the top of your ability.
And if it only provides you with shelter and food why dedicate your entire energy to it? It is definitely not what is bringing you joy?
hey get a job and want a sem-detatched in the 'burbs because that's what the folks have got. They don't remember the terraced house that their parents had first. Reality checks and expectation management are much needed.
You'd be fortunate to be on a job on 30-40k after graduating.
The 65k is probably 3-4years into the job market and doing quite well. And owning a terraced with that anywhere near London is ONLY A DREAM. still a 600k-700k price tag.
Most of the decent jobs in finance nowadays require a phd. Some of them indeed compensate up to standard but you'd have to be a pretty high flyer to get in there.
Think people lack moral compass, lack structure in life because of how they have been raised.
It is true indeed that the divide between different social backgrounds is getting wider. Parents did not have the time to show the right values to their offspring.
British food culture is an example as well. I should not say this but working class food culture in here is poorer than some parts of eastern Europe.
Eating poorly and "on the go" is considered by some an example of how hard they work. Rubbish.
But also the society is promoting engaging in superficial pleasures like "tinder".
No wonder middle class parent no longer want to have the kids in the same school with those.
Question is, in the light of the BLM protests, which is focused around the same issue but what they are not aware is that we are all in the same boat.
How could we change the world to make it a fairer place.
There are probably 5% of people in this country that are essential to feed the population. We already have shelter because houses are build and are there. Why should people engage in endless activities only to be able to afford food and shelter?
The answer is because if people would be left to their own means society would probably destruct itself. And also there is a category that prides itself in controlling the masses and thrives in luxury and not having any of the offspring do a day of work.
Could there be a better balance there put in place? Or should we go through a deep depression, people starved to death so that the deceiving value of work is enshrined in their minds?
I guess we'll probably find out.
