To me it doesn't seem like a function of tradition but a complex result of changing lifestyle and priorities. In societies where the basic necessities of mankind have been taken care of, focus has shifted to superficialities, keeping the population entertained by providing endless choices and making life supposedly more interesting ( and strangely today you have more people than ever before complaining of boredom !) . Hence you have highly paid basketball players, endless beauty pagents and fashion shows with successful models and designers who become multimillionares almost overnight even though they provide no useful service to society . You have supermarkets with endless varieties of additive and fat laden foodstuff that lure people into buying more and more ( buy one get one free) thus contributing to obsesity . Often they actively work towards snuffing out small local businesses and yet they appeal to the unthinking masses because they provide choice and keep them and their palates entertained. And you have people in professions such as doctors, nurses, teachers who are overworked and paid a pittance because they have no entertainment value. > And very often the traditions are strange indeed and lead > to glaring inequalities. Its when the superficial becomes more importance than the essential that glaring inequalities come into being. The former doesn't have its root in logic, the latter does. If the trend is not reversed, such a society will fail to sustain itself. > -- > Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail.
