the foundational aspects of human nature transcends cultural bounds. for example, the human nature of a woman giving birth to an child is understood in every culture from africa to north america. the social mentality of the individual mind is due in totality to the economy. in fact, everything is due to the economy. the morality of a country is the effect of its cultural images. we should think in terms of the individual versus the masses. both of which have needs of each other. hence its a closed loop. generally speaking, the individual generates the economic climate by providing to the sum and in turn, the economy provides the individual with everything from lifestyle to culture to mentality. at the heart of the capitalist organism is individual competitveness for lifestyle, culture, and mentality. it is the understanding of certain peoples that competition occurs at the cost of certain fundamental principles necessary for the understanding of outside groups to which outside individuals belong. notice in third world countries the line between individuals is less apparent. however, the individual morality plummets with economic depression as the needs of the individual reach a new low at or near the basic survival level leading us to an argumentational paradox.
the individual leaders of a country act as filtration mechanisms in the exchange of images between the mass and the individual. that is, they control the images reaching our eyes and ears. images create mentality and hence morality. we fit ourselves and others into mass distributed images. those images set standards that are cultural, genetic and moralistic. which is not to say that doing so is right or wrong but rather, their is a potential cost to the distribution of individual advantages. one solution is perhaps for the economy to provide an ideal to work towards, so that the disadvantaged may be given a greater opportunity in case there's one out there who is willing to grab it.
