Serious Face

No seriously, pull on your serious faces and your thinking caps cuz I'm being... Serious?

I was having a discussion on the topics of various religions and clutures compared to others, and the subject of India's values system versus the Extreme Westernization of the U.S.
Third World Country v. Major World Power
Which is better?
I don't think either.
While I totally think that the quality of life is better in the U.S., unfortunately I believe our value system is just as degrading and backwards as that of a third world country, in some ways I believe it to be worse.
In a third world country the major motive behind anything is basic survival, in the good ole United States I believe it has become not a struggle for survival, but a struggle of pointing the finger at someone else.
My proof? Well, how many papers do you have to sign to prove a company isn't liable for some injury received on their watch? In any crime, everyone puts on an act to make it look like they had no control over what they did. Why does everyone hire a lawyer to make sure something is not their responsibility? In third world countries people do not have the resources to waste their time over silly blame games. They struggle on a daily basis for food, shelter, and whatever else they may or may not be able to scrounge, everything else is secondary at best.
Now as to how people are treated? Again the quality of life is better in the U.S. but are we morally any better?
In India women are still bought and sold like cattle. They are property, objects for male use and sometimes appreciation. Yes in the U.S. women are no longer property, and yet in our over-sexed society, we dress our women up like whores and send them out in the world to be used and thrown away. Which form of objectification is better? At least in India women have a monetary value, meaning they are worth something, whereas in the U.S. women are still objects, but of no value....
How strange that in a society where everyone is supposedly equal, one group is viewed as practically worthless, does this mean that everyone is worthless?

I don't mean to rag on U.S. society. I really appreciate living in the country that I do, and I thank my lucky stars every day that I was born into such a land of plenty. I am only trying to prove a point on ethnocentrism.
No one culture is superior, all have their equal faults, and it is folly to look down upon another's beliefs while not questioning your own. Every society has its ugly truths, and no one has the right to judge another, because no one is perfect.

Anyhow... That was my serious rant, you can all level up now.

Because I'm Bored and I Can.
Thats Why.
