The cultural and social influence of arrogance and envy in third world countries
In the midst of the challenges facing third world countries or the least developed countries, causes and factors that contribute to weakening complete development and disrupting social and cultural progress is varied. Among these factors, arrogance and envy emerge as two hidden forces which deeply affect the structure of societies and their psychological and behavioral orientations. Although the emphasis often focuses on economic and political factors, many ignore the psychological and social impacts which are implanted in the local culture and are part of the fabric of daily life, which makes it necessary to eat these phenomena with critical critical and scientific analysis.
First of all:
Definition of the two phenomena – arrogance and envy
Arrogation is an internal feeling of superiority and size, often translated into behaviors that reduce others and refuse to recognize their advantages or their achievements. In the contexts of the least developed countries, arrogance can take a class or political form, because the elites – economic or political – behave in terms of domination, are not from the point of view of a real leadership.
Envy, for its part, is a feeling of groan or pain by seeing the success of others, especially if this success highlights self-osc of or weakness. In societies that suffer from limited opportunities and the absence of social justice, the desire turns into a personal feeling in a social scheme that permeates daily interactions.
Second: the cultural and social roots of arrogance and envy
These two phenomena are linked to the system of values and socialization which prevails in less developed societies, because several factors contribute to their nutrition.
Structural deprivation and unequal opportunities: when individuals believe that resources and opportunities are granted according to favoritism, and not efficiency, the desire is established as a natural result to feel injustice. The feelings of arrogance are also generated by those who enjoy these privileges to the detriment of others.
The weakness of educational and educational establishments: in the light of traditional education systems which do not have the development of critical thinking, the values of humility or social responsibility are not implanted, but are rather improved by individual excellence in isolation of the collective impact.
Essential religious or cultural discourse: sometimes religion or traditions are exploited to justify class differences or improve the feeling of false law, which increases the consolidation of arrogance and envy as acceptable implicit concepts.
Third: the social effects of arrogance and envy
1. Social ties disintegration
Envy undergoes social confidence and increases the gravity of conflicts between individuals and societies. Instead of inspiring the success of other aspirants and action, this is transformed into a source of confusion and rivalry. As for arrogance, he consecrates the gaps between classes and improves the feeling of alienation in marginalized groups.
2. Bad initiative
In an environment in envy and arrogance, the spirit of cooperation becomes almost non -existing, and the creators fear success for fear of vision or attempts to exclude society. Influencers – out of arrogance – can stand in front of any attempt to change from the outside of their circles.
3. Distinction of the values system
When power and revision are more celebrated than real reality, the standards of societal assessment are distorted. He becomes “who owns” it is the one who respects, not “who serves” or “creating”, who devotes a superficial and short part culture.
Fourth: deep cultural influences
1. Reduce arrogance in the context of national or religious identity
In some cases, arrogance takes on a collective character, because certain peoples or ethnic groups are higher than others, even in the same country. This deepens internal divisions and prevents the construction of a complete national identity.
2. The transmission of envy to literature and the arts
In many societies, envy in cultural production is reflected, through novels or dramatic works that show people who succeed as exploiters or corrupt, which instills in the mind a disorganized image of the relationship between success and morality.
Fifth: how can these phenomena face?
1. Education and media reform
The dissemination of a culture of humility and mutual appreciation begins from school and the media, highlighting the stories of collective success and by encouraging the spirit of cooperation, and not on satisfactory competition.
2. Building transparent institutions
Whenever the institutions are fair and transparent, less the desire for disadvantaged and the weakness of arrogance among those who have influences. Transparency creates a feeling of equity and redefines success accordingly, not a privilege.
3. Encourage self-criticism and community responsibility
There should be platforms that allow companies to be responsible and criticize their cultural models, without fear or justification.
at the end
Arrogation and envy are not only individual feelings, but rather cultural and social symptoms rooted in the deep structure of the least developed societies. And if these countries are really doomed, these phenomena must be confronted not only with public policies, but with a complete intellectual and moral revolution which reorganizes the scale of values, and releases societies from comparative restrictions and obsession with appearances. Development is not complete, except when the mind is released from complete models of thought, and cooperation emerges from the uterus of humility and faith in the other.
