Social Concern and Change
Wherever philosophical clashes occur in society as to who deserves what based on how they look, how they’re wired, where they come from, or where they fall in the socioeconomic food chain, you’ll see them played out here. Life is different between the haves and the have-nots, the powerful and the powerless, the blessed and the bereft, and the chasms bear understanding. (Particularly since we rarely or never glimpse them otherwise.) Following are excellent illustrations of people informing the interests of others, be it to uplift or to upend…
