Is there such a thing as human nature? Normally I would say, no. That every human being is different. But when I look at the history of our kind. I wonder. Through out human history, one thing has always remained the same. The strong abuse the weak. When we sailed out and discovered new cultures, what did we too? We crushed them, or we enslaved them if they werent suitable for anything else.
Have we learned nothing in the millenia's we have spend on this world? For nothing has changed. The poor country's still get oppresed by the rich ones. But instead of really helping them, we blind ourselves with our so-called charity's. Does anyone care how many miles of tropical rainforest had to be cut for that nice table? Does anyone care that those fancy shoes were made by childeren? Our goverments claim to be helping the third world country's, but all I see is that we get richer. And they get poorer. Multinationals move to the country's with the least laws, so they can abuse the enviroment and the workers.
Goverments claim to help the third world to restore their economy, but yet they force those country's to accept agreements that benifit us, not them. The US provides weapons to criminal regimes (such as the Taliban) who continue to kill thousands of inocents. Is that civilation?
Please tell me I am wrong here, for I am almost ashamed to be human.
