In relation to hunger and poverty in America, the US-American people believe in a myth. The real myth is not that hunger and poverty do not exist in America. However, the prevalence of poverty, hunger in America is largely downplayed and ignored the collective American public opinion. Regardless, no one can deny, the staggering statistics. In the United States, 38.2 million people - including 14 million children - live in households that experience hunger or the risk of hunger. 3.9 percent of the U.S. --Households experience hunger. 8.0 percent of U.S. households are at risk of hunger. Although often ignored, the facts are obvious.
The real myth in America is the myth of meritocracy - the myth that the poor are just lazy and stupid. Most Americans seem to believe that poor people in America deserve poverty. These people believe that the United States is a meritocracy, defined in the wealth and status through merit. These people believe that the rich have earned in the United Statestheir wealth through intelligence and hard work. And therefore believe that, cause these people, the laziness and stupidity, poverty.
The prevalence of this myth shocks some people who ask how about 14 million U.S. children could earn poverty. Children. The non-meritocratic reality is clear who has worked on most, or knows someone who has worked two or even three jobs and earns barely enough to survive. Diet In fact, many intelligent hard-working American families struggle toHouse and clothe themselves.
It seems that the belief is based on the myth of meritocracy rather than logic or empirical evidence. Rather, it seems, the belief in the power company is based on demand and cognitive dissonance. Not to say that the majority of the non-poor Americans want to jump to believe that 38.2 million Americans are lazy and stupid. Rather, the majority of the non-poor Americans want to believe that they do not, the poor deserve their wealth and status. The majority of the non-poorAmericans choose to the idea that poverty is certainly not unfair to deny meritocratic forces because they do not want to accept that their own wealth equally unfair. The majority of the non-poor Americans do not want to admit that the majority of poor Americans have bad luck, because that would mean that the majority of the non-poor Americans simply have luck. Understandably, the Americans want to feel like they deserve, decent citizens in a fair meritocracy. You do not want tofeel guilty, happiness or responsible for the poor.
Unfortunately, this presumption and arrogance alone can not explain the prevalence of the myth of meritocracy, because not only the non-poor Americans do not believe in the myth of meritocracy, but poor Americans believe in it! While explaining the arrogance and desire could be proud of the non-poor Americans believing in the myth of meritocracy, it can not explain why poor Americans believe in this myth. Just as non-poor Americans, poorAmericans believe that they are inferior and deserve to be poor. Poor Americans literally - both collectively and individually - an inferiority complex. In addition, workers and middle-class Americans never question their own status in relation to the upper class. In fact, working-class Americans do not help with poverty have actual wealth, but with credit lines. Their houses, cars and clothing are all financed with borrowed money. The majority of the non-poor working Americansare literally on the edge of poverty. In general, their apparent wealth is an illusion.
To understand the spread of the myth of meritocracy, it is necessary to understand the socio-economic structure of the United States. The real wealth in the United States is in the hands of a few. The top 1% in the United States has more wealth than the bottom 95%. In general, the upper class does not work or produce. Generally, senior class, is unproductive and uncreative. Insteadthat employees or managers, the upper class to earn their money by stock ownership and banking. Money controls everything, so that the richest of the rich do not work. In fact, which is sponsored by the Government of U.S. dollars mightier than the sword.
It is not in the interest of the richest and most powerful to the true owners of America have a rebellious working class. The powers to be that all have an interest in maintaining the non-meritocratic oligarchy. To run from the beginning in the GovernmentTaught school, students who believe in the myth of the power company. The schools teach students literally blind nationalistic patriotism. The entire social system, namely schools, indoctrinating people to believe that America is absolutely fair and meritocratic. All the evidence that contradicts the myth of meritocracy, is omitted from the courses, whether historical or contemporary. Yes, killing women to India will also suppress slave owners are issued to the American hero.
A very smallMinority of non-working unproductive people really run America, and most of the world. A very small minority of people have all the wealth and power. Simple Machiavellian philosophy says that those who do benefit from the current social order, what they can to keep order in place. Simple Machiavellian philosophy says that those who would change is detrimental to furiously trying to stop change. It is no surprise that the very small minority of the rich and powerfulwant to keep the current social order, and they have a beautiful life. Wealth without work.
The most important way to keep the masses of people in revolt, is by fooling the masses with the myth of meritocracy. Convince the lower and working classes, the classism based on merit, and they will continue to perform their jobs. Even as more children go hungry and medium-increasing debt, they will continue to perform their jobs. As long as the working classes and lower classes have an inferiority complex,they will continue to work on it. They are depressed, stressed, and hungry, but they will continue to work on it. Nothing changes, and the few people who assert an interest in the oligarchy. The prevalence of the myth of meritocracy, guarantees the distribution of the oligarchy.
And as long as the oligarchy prevails and nothing changes, 14 million American children go to bed hungry every night. And 16,000 children die every day.
