Biased Society

Since the very beginning man has been struggling to purge his society of cruelty, oppression, injustice you name it. He has always aspired for a society known for its equality, peacefulness, justice and so on. He has always condemned the concept of terrorism, mass murders and wars.
To be more realistic, we live in society where people are classified on the basis of wealth, they are holding. A group of people with most of the wealth of society is known as an upper class or elite group. This group of people has control over all the natural and human resources, education, politics and health system of a society.
Now, there is another group or class in a society which barely lives under poverty with so little wealth that they barely meet the ends. This class is mostly deprived of their basic rights, everyone has turned a deaf ear to the needs of this class. Whenever, this group is oppressed, at first, they try to bear the burden put upon their shoulders by the former group. But when things go crazy, this class is left with no other choice than to protest and so they take it to the streets. Then, there emerges two group of people from this class. First, those who lose hope in world, give up on the justice, and see no light at the end of tunnel. They’re bond by their ’’traditions’’ which apparently do not allow them to stand for their rights. They give in and become the prey for the elite group.
Secondly, those who want their fair share one way or the other and so they stand up against the elite group. Here people condemn everything said and owned by the elite group since they’re enlightened enough with their basic rights. They protest, they break into public property (sometimes), break laws made by the elite group. They are not chained to the so called “traditions” of the society. They believe in equality of rights and that is the only they want.
These types of protest gain limelight whenever there is something big like load shedding, gas shortage or inflation. These protests have one very bright side i.e. awareness of people with their rights and duties, the more the hate the unjust system at the soon will they get their rights.
In response to these movements and protest, the elite group has always tried to get rid of them as soon as possible. At first, they call it the lunatic behavior of people. The elite class, here, wants, by any rate, to abolish the movement else they’d cause damage to their “dynasty.”
