"Is it lawful to confuse the prosperity of a class with the welfare of a country?"

Eduardo Galeano

In my opinion, differences in social classes will always exist.

But I am not only referring to the economic, which as we know is determined by a social structure, I am also referring to the fact that there are people who, even though they can live in a certain way, prefer to live in another way, perhaps it has to do with mental structure, custom, philosophy of life...


It seems that the world is somewhat incongruous, where most are guided by apparently normed, stratified, unconsciously accepted patterns, but nevertheless within the differences there are similarities.

Basically I do my work in the street, walking from one side to the other, so luckily I can know many spaces in this country that received me, in theory with values and a culture different from that of my country of origin ...

Venezuela.

However, I can pass spaces that have great similarities to those of my native country, I raised the question of whether that perception was only mine, ***feeling that at some precise moment of time, keeping in mind that you are not in your homeland seems that you are.

For example a street market in which you can find different types of food, vegetables.

Could a Venezuelan tell me if this photo was taken here in Bogotá or somewhere in Venezuela?

This space reminds me of some that I used to travel when I was in Maracay, Aragua State or in the Tigre, Anzoátegui State, and I can even say that in some Chinese or American movies I have been able to see similar markets.

I am sure that many acquaintances, friends and users of this platform will be able to recognize in this image some spaces of their country (independently of the continent in which they are).

The social and economic differences exist, they are very marked at world level (low, medium, high social class).

Although it seems that the high social class is getting higher and the low social class is getting lower and lower, the distances in terms of quality of life between one and the other are great. A middle class that is becoming smaller and smaller, almost on the verge of extinction and, to a large extent, closer to the lower is the upper class.

"*The same new society, through the two and a half thousand years of its existence, has never been more than the development of a tiny minority at the expense of an immense majority of the exploited and oppressed; and this is today more than ever.

Federico Engels

I think our society has a lot to improve from the human side.
