Why should the rich look down...... the poor
Answers
The society hasn’t changed much from the past till the present time. Poor people in Roman times sleep through their nights in a cheap bar, but the riches were having lots of entertainment including gambling. The social conditions were described by a historian in the 4th century whose name is Ammianus Marcellinus. He said that the superiors were overlook the one who are below them, the one who spend too much money with their servants around themselves. The poor one is always the one who were left behind no matter that they were free or slave.
Today’s society still use the poor as scapegoat by the rich people. The rich will make the poor take the guilt that they didn’t committed themselves. Another difference is that the poor might look for the shade near the theater, but the rich will be sitting in the theater to avoid the hot sun which is more cooler. In the Roman times, we could divide the poor into Good and Bad Poors. In 19th century, the division still there, but they were called the undeserving and deserving poor. The deserving poor is like a hard working people.
Today we are lucky not to see the rich surrounded by servants everytime. The point is that our civilization would be better if we treated everyone no matter who they are equally.
