I was born and raised in an Asian metropolitan city, historically capitalistic. I have decided to write and contest the economy-driven model in my city where people are the means to an end—a robust economy, my question is what such a goal is for then if the people put pleasure over any consideration for the people in other places who are suffering? People seem to fail to acknowledge that the world is one village, so would a government choose to assist a country in crisis even if this requires knowledge transfer or financial assistance? I see a government that puts politics above people and I cannot do anything but choose what I believe—just only few pieces of wisdom I found useful in my entire life up to this point in time. Individuals can choose to be altruistic themselves and choose a country of similar values, or will they be able to change an entire culture (mine that is collective and meat-loving)? This is a topic open for discussion- what do you think people can do in a society that is capitalist and internally collective to be altruistic? How to deal with traditions that go against EA values in your family and society?
Culture against EA?
