Just thought of the above when in GP lesson and talking to Joel.

Fact: Top 5% of the income earners of the population earns as much as the remaining 95%.

Most come from industrialised countries. 10 of the top 25 billionaires in the world are from U.S. Singapore's Top 40 wealthiest (as they call it since many are family owned) worth $45.7b in 2010. I am not here to be like motivators, be the top 5%, don't be the 95%.

The hard fact is that we are slaves of the globalising world.

We study:

1) Primarily to make money for ourselves and our family in the future

2) Part of curriculum of the globalised world, we 'help' the rich to get richer.

Well we need the skills of what we learnt, but the rich definitely benefit if we got the skills, and the things we study are modified to be as such they will benefit most.

Globalised world -> Profit driven. No doubt, and education has been packaged as a need to survive in this globalising world.

Slaves? Maybe not that harsh. But maybe...

Just two cents worth of thoughts, time to bath.
