In order to talk about what’s wrong with our world and how we can go about fixing it, we’ll need to make some pretty huge generalizations. Although hopefully these accurately describe what motivates people and why they behave the way they do, we also want to take the time here to point out that: Yes, we know that there are people who do not fit our definitions.
It is just as wrong to assume that all wealthy people are greedy as it is to assume that all poorer people are uneducated or lazy. Poorer people, when voted into office, can also turn out just as corrupt as their wealthy competitors. And although the underlying principle of being poor means increased contact with the consequences of actions - it doesn't follow that all poor people are responsible; nor that all wealthy people have lost touch with reality.
But as this website is about describing the major trends shaping our world, and changing them, we’re just going to have to make some generalizations. Hopefully the discussion will not align people against each other, but by acknowledging differences, allow us all to appreciate our differences, choose fairly, and join together.
