Can society be compared to the family structure?

Question

if yes, would it be correct to say that the poor would be considered the problem child, the ones who acts out, in order to gain attention? And if this is known, why not try to correct this problem in the country known to be the richest in the world?

Answer 1

In general, and considering the concepts of fractal relationships to unity, everything can be modelled by everything else, so the answer to your primary is yes. I think it's actually a rather homoglonous model also.

I find the subsequent deduction in your second question then to be reasonable and thoughtful. So I would agree with you there.

And thirdly, I'm not sure that we are NOT attempting to correct the problem. If you're referring to the expanding class separation, I agree, but that's because the people at the top are acting like the problem children.. :) But speaking purely behaviorally, I think we are doing the best we are capable of, given the immigration debacle, and growing population. Our social structure is definitely bottom-loading, and it's not helping.

Answer 2

Absolutely not. Families depend on every other member in the family unit. A society is a group of totally unrelated people with different interests/goals... the only thing they have in common is they're all from the same nation.

Poor aren't poor to get attention. That's kind of arrogant to reduce the dyfunctional, poorly educated, and unsuccessful people to being bad kids acting out.

Answer 3

There is a tendency for people to mix apples and oranges when it comes to trying to explain Karmic reality with an Utopian presumption.

That is, one is poor, if one believes oneself to be poor. The life one is, due to present circumstances, forced to live can become ones identity if one has no other identity. The "poor" among us, are either poor due to circumstances beyond their control, or poor because they believe they are poor. The latter unwittingly live life in such a way that it insures a continuance of being poor.

How wealthy the nation is has no bearing on one being poor, unless one desires, as a socialist or communist, to "get me some" money from the governmt because the governmt has a money tree
and all it has to do is give me some.

Being poor and ignorant is a difficult situation to overcome.... without taking the responsibility for doing something about one or the other. Many people lift themselves out of poverty, many do not, and those who do not perhaps are not fated to?
