Money and school system
This is a strange world, we are constantly exposed to message that tell us to buy things and buy more things and more things, but the education system never teach us any things about financial knowledge, moral is a subject we must study but we always seems like a victim to immoral people, maybe the system or this society never want us to know how to manage our money, they only want us to know lot of knowledge not related to our survival, I think that if school system can teach us some thing about finance, there will not be so many people with so terrible financial status, constantly live in the tension of paying debt and loan,
maybe maybe the society intentionally do not want us to know.
think about it.
let say you are a student with a clear mind on how to manage your money, you are aware of your expenses, when I think back to my school time, we always have to pay lot of feees, registration feees, management feees, transaction feees, pilipala feees .... the list never end.
This media also advocate us to buy more thing, if we are successful people we need to have this , if we do not have this then we are not successful, if not then the message want us to believe that only if we buy this then we can be popular, people around us will only love us, lot of us unconsciously believe the message without question it.
See movie and drama always about family and friends, after we have spouse then we need to have a bigger house , then we need to have cars, then lot of tech gadgets, after the first model come out then the second model, third , forth , fifth, we are just too busy trying to live in the civilised world, even detrimental to our health.
so many people taking loan to buy house buy the interest pay is so high that they can buy a second house but the bank personnel never tell them but want them to take the high interest loan.
So what?
This is the system build by businessmen and government, they build school not to provide education to students but as a way to generate income, maybe they do not know what students really need to study but how the hell they know we need sex education???? ??
but it will never have a course on finance.

Resist the exploiters
Nowadays the exploiters using our strengths and our pride rather than our weakness to against us, they created lot of fancy things and they make themselves appear as kind as an angel, but their motive is to exploit, they manipulate their prey's mind to make them obey to whatever things they request, they just as a beast, an uncontrollable beast, it has no conscience and moral, they don't even concern about their benefits and life, they only want to destroy and rape, they created sophisticated trap and snare, they are like an skillful artist playing they instrument, but the consequence is the death of the preys, they will destroy and exploit everything they see, they take all the resources, they rape all the women, after they finishing raping other women they will rape your children, you have no choice but fight, fight with all your power and will, but I am not talking about using physical power and emotion anymore, we have to use our brainpower. Our brain is our most powerful weapon. Think about it , for the future of mankind and our children.

Hoodwinked: An Economic Hit Man Reveals Why the World Financial Markets Imploded--and What We Need to Do to Remake Them
John Perkins has seen the signs of today's economic meltdown before. The subprime mortgage fiascos, the banking industry collapse, the rising tide of unemployment, the shuttering of small businesses across the landscape are all too familiar symptoms of a far greater disease. In his former life as an economic hit man, he was on the front lines both as an observer and a perpetrator of events, once confined only to the third world, that have now sent the United States—and in fact the entire planet—spiraling toward disaster.
Here, Perkins pulls back the curtain on the real cause of the current global financial meltdown. He shows how we've been hoodwinked by the CEOs who run the corporatocracy—those few corporations that control the vast amounts of capital, land, and resources around the globe—and the politicians they manipulate. These corporate fat cats, Perkins explains, have sold us all on what he calls predatory capitalism, a misguided form of geopolitics and capitalism that encourages a widespread exploitation of the many to benefit a small number of the already very wealthy. Their arrogance, gluttony, and mismanagement have brought us to this perilous edge. The solution is not a "return to normal."
But there is a way out. As Perkins makes clear, we can create a healthy economy that will encourage businesses to act responsibly, not only in the interests of their shareholders and corporate partners (and the lobbyists they have in their pockets), but in the interests of their employees, their customers, the environment, and society at large.
We can create a society that fosters a just, sustainable, and safe world for us and our children. Each one of us makes these choices every day, in ways that are clearly spelled out in this book.
"We hold the power," he says, "if only we recognize it." Hoodwinked is a powerful polemic that shows not only how we arrived at this precarious point in our history but also what we must do to stop the global tailspin.
Amazon.com Review
Robert Baer Reviews HoodwinkedRobert Baer is the author of two New York Times bestsellers: Sleeping with the Devil, about the Saudi royal family and its relationship with the United States; and See No Evil, which recounts Baer’s years as a top CIA operative. See No Evil was the basis for the acclaimed film Syriana, which earned George Clooney an Oscar for his portrayal of Baer. Baer has contributed to Vanity Fair, the Wall Street Journal, and the Washington Post. He is considered one of the world’s foremost authorities on the Middle East. Read his guest review of Hoodwinked:
I wasn’t twenty pages into Hoodwinked when I realized Perkins nailed it. What got us into the mess we’re in today, the worst recession since the Great Depression, is the same grotesque capitalism cum corruption we shoved down the throat of the Third World since the end of World War II. (Yes, the Third World’s elites were cheerfully corrupted.)
We, and the rest of the West, learned the trick of selling unneeded infrastructure, services, over-sophisticated weapons--stuff that could never benefit anyone other than the people who lined their pockets. And yes, Perkins is right, the international economists and press were handmaidens to the thievery.
It was all fairly routine until 9/11, when the real gorging started. Tell the people their roof is on fire and they’ll give you whatever you ask for. Between 2001 and 2009 the Department of Defense budget increased 74 percent, and that is not to mention the hundreds of billions of dollars in related contracts. Nigeria on the Potomac.
Perkins is quick to state he doesn’t believe in a grand conspiracy theory. Few of the people who call the shots have ever met each other. They don’t have a playbook other than a couple of fraudulent economists like Milton Friedman and the others who worship at the altar of deregulation. No, what they have in common is an obsession with the winner takes all.
Perkins's message isn’t going to be popular. We’re a country invested in a system in which five percent of the world’s population consumes 25 percent of the world’s resources. It's a system we’re trying to sell to the world, only we don’t mention that we’ll need five planets to sustain it.
Perkins isn’t the pessimist I am. He says we can save the world if we green it--and, of course, start telling the truth to each other. Otherwise we end up a banana republic like the ones we know so well how to despoil. --Robert Baer

Social status and people's judgement
Some people judge others as their status, for instance if the person is a doctor then we should respect him and take him seriously , but if the person is a garbage collector then we can look down on him or her and treat him badly or below standard, but lets consider this if no one wants to collect garbage and the disease spread around because of the undermanaged garbage and wastes, then do we still think that collecting garbage is not important and the garbage collector are unimportant?
