What about Capitalism?!

The word capitalism is commonly used to describe a type of socio economic system. For many years throughout our history we have been immersed within this system. But we actually have never understood what capitalism truly is. This concept means producing and distributing goods (technology, wage, means of transport, factories, lands, etc). And at the present time capitalism is the economic system which rules all over the countries.

Nowadays people need to work in order to obtain their salary. This group of people is denominated as the working class. They need a job to get a wage thanks to their efforts at work. The working class produce goods and provide services. But what about the ones who are segregated or overwhelmed by the system? The system is cruel, indeed. It does not care about the ones who cannot provide goods or services. They are just left behind. This is truly awful. People are in need of help but no one properly gives them a solution because all humankind works on the basis of capitalism. If we begin to analyze in detail our world we can tell that we live in a context where the economic matter comes first. For example, the government itself promotes all the businesses, companies, and corporations. Therefore we can rectify that our society is mostly based on the wealth of each person. People experience a culture of consumption. We, as active consumers in the system, know that there are a lot of companies that propel the mass consumption.

The system should be changed because we are excessively submerged in consumption. Somehow capitalism is not a completely lapsed organism. Personally I believe that this system is necessary. Let us think about the world itself. If we were not able to make any profits out of something we would not work to earn money. Although it is in crisis the government should propose a revolutionary plan that could renew its essentials values. After all, money makes the world go round.
