Let’s examine
the reality of a situation and use an example to justify the meaning of many
things in society. Your brother just graduated from college and had landed a job
as a highly-paid architect. He receives praises and word from your parents. However,
you are in college and are in need of an apartment to live closer to your
school. Your brother also needs the same. Your parents will prioritize your
brother because he becomes the new breadwinner of the family. You? You just
have to bear with what options are left for you and you completely understand
that your brother pays for your tuition and is the priority.
In an economy,
corporations make the bills run and circulate all over the UK. This is not just
the UK, but in any country whatsoever. If you think of it, laws are built
around corporations so that they can promote proper competitiveness to raise an
economy. Consumer rights are prioritized because if consumers lose confidence
in the corporation’s products, we end up with a lower economy.
Sometimes, government
policies will clash with ideals. The UK tapping into the Muslim finance market signifies
a goal to increase the economic output of the country, and some money into the
pockets of politician friends. The recent UK Rail Union Vs. Privatized RailFranchises case marks the trend that ‘friends’ and ‘breadwinners’ of the government
prioritize the profitable returns, never the individual’s concerns.
This is not a
bad thing, but this is a reality that most people, especially the common
person, will have to deal with.
