Superiority complexI think it was a difficult choice, but ... yes, we think it was the price to pay for our interests. Madeleine Albrigh
Contempt of some human to other humans, not new. This form of thinking accepts our primate origins . It is the engine of all slavery . Globally and across humanity, contempt as slavery are declining. However, on time and according to the dominant forces, it can regain energy . This is the case since the early 80s. Behavior and semantics of the Western media has evolved . The interest and caring that carried the 30 glorious to the poor and working classes, seem to have disappeared . Since it belongs to the market, mass television suggests that there are people whose existence has no interest .
For proof, just listen to the channel information in prime time. The contempt and Western- centrism are in full swing. Disasters in the Western world and the third world, are treated with two different acuity .
The difference in treatment between "elite" and "the people" by the media, has also increased .
Biensur to develop humanity, system hierarchies discriminant is still necessary to our egocentric minds. But this segregation should follow human evolution. In other words, it should regress and not dilate.
Yet this is an aggravation of the discrimination it is . This discrimination leads insidiously Western people to think that some of the people have no interest * . They can be forgotten or eliminated with impunity.
There are no less important than other human beings in this world . There are no Very Important Person . No VIP one side and sub- men on the other . And if there were real VIP of humanity, do not they would be Gandhi 's Sister Emmanuelle, the sister Teresa who are doing each day to help the poverty? .
For the evolution of our species, everyone is equal.
Human interest freeIt takes all to make this world. Rich and poor, workers and employers, hard and soft, rational and artists. Humanity would not exist without this diversity. This evidence alone should be enough to remove all the contempt that elitism discriminant can generate.
Since the French Revolution, not heredity provides ( alone ) human so-called " important" to the company . If we did the genealogy of men "important" today is likely to be in the family tree, ancestors considered unimportant by the nobility of the XVII or XVIII century . Similarly, some people considered irrelevant by the current discriminating elite, will no doubt, the future of human ancestors tried ( even if that judgment is ) very important for our descendants.
We are all equal in humanity. It is the thinkers and the media 's responsibility to explain to the people. And this is especially the media to explain the discriminating elite . It seems abnormal, an intellectual or journalist * today is less committed to the principle of equality as a thinker of the Enlightenment.

Ce n'est pas une utopie. C'est une trajectoire déjà visible, inscrite dans l'histoire depuis le premier primate. Lentement. Imparfaitement. Mais dans une direction.
