I understand you don't seem to give much consideration to the po' folks of the world, but that's the majority of the world, and traditional values ARE theirs. It isn't the middle or upper class clinging to "traditional values" in the US, brother.Before I start, I'd like to add that there is a distinction between being of the "lower classes" and being poor. Just because you are above the poverty line does not mean you're middle-class.
Now, to my response.
Yes, the middle class upholds values.
At least in your parts of the world, it does.
Here, middle class, low class...It really doesn't matter. Because we all try to share and uphold these values(the only difference lies in how we do that). You obviously don't.
When I look at the lower sections of the western world, I see that drugs, promiscuity, illegitimate children, alcoholism and other things are more rampart, along with children moving out of their parent's home, while people who are even poorer resort to various jobs like prostitution, drug dealing, and other violent crime and/or property crimes.
Now tell me how the poor folks around your part contribute to the upholding of your traditional values.
I think that this is due to the fact that these poor people have to live in a part of the world which is a lot richer than the rest of the world, and the social stress that this brings is a lot higher.
I was just about to tell you how things work around here, but I guess that you're probably not interested. But I must say that I do give a lot of consideration to the poor of my own people.
