Why are People Poor?

Thursday, 24 November 2011 11:15

Published on Thursday, 24 November 2011 11:15

0 Comments and 0 Reactions

Why are people poor? Seems like we still do not know.

The question of why people are poor is a simple question with a really complex answer and it is not what you might think.

It’s such a simple question. Right? We would like to believe that it has an obvious answer. Someone’s poor because they did not get a great education, did not have every opportunity available to them, their parents did not encourage them, their teachers ignored them, their employer did not help them develop, someone, in short, somewhere, did not do their job right. The system let them down.

Now that I opened this can of worms here’s something which you might want to spend a couple of minutes reading: Poor Concentration: How Poverty Changes the Way You Think. The question of course is not just why someone is poor (because that assumes a level of comparison which must set a standard for a basic level of being classified as non-poor which is global) but why is someone in a position where they do not have sufficient means to meet basic needs.

If we divorce this question from the multitude of variables which it brings up (things like connections, opportunities, smarts, education, will power and personality) it boils down to a couple of logical things one has to be the individual (and their innate mechanism) and the other the system they operate in. If we assume that suddenly, somehow, we are all reduced to the intellect of amoebas then biologically and evolutionary we will get a society where some amoebas will have more wealth (they came across a great food hoard) and some less (they were not so fortunate in their travels) but overall, we will have an acceptable standard of living where the amoebas at the bottom of the pyramid are not scraping for scraps.

This happens in a so-called balanced environment which seems to be capable of sustaining the lifeforms within it.

It’s a question of scale

Let’s scale this up to our society to see why we have not been able to create what amoebas seem so easily to be able to enjoy.

Scale in both wealth and work environments provides its own, unique set of challenges and needs to be managed effectively in order to be made to work. We have see the problems created by runaway systems with the Global Credit Crunch which allowed an aunchecked, self-policing global banking system to almost bankrupt the globe (!).

One of the reasons, which I have covered here before, has to do with the application of Capitalism as a concept which is allowed to run away with itself. Again, from science, we know that a runaway environment only has one end in sight and it is a bad one. Self-destruction is a trait inherent in unbalanced environments.

Unlike amoebas we are responsible for creating much of the environment we operate in and we are gifted with the capability to work to improve it. My contention is relatively simple and based upon my direct experience of working, at the highest level, in companies with workforces in the range of 250,000 plus. Companies of that size cannot get by, by putting in place strict controls which compel the workforce to work hard and then police them with managers (incidentally, at one level that is also the Communist model of society). Such a structure is too top-heavy with too many resources allocated to too few people in order to enable them to oversee far too many.

A system like that has built-in inefficiencies which aggregate and need more work and resources to shoehorn into a temporary fix. The result is that eventually the system becomes vulnerable to relatively small factors, requiring just the tiniest of a shove to topple. Funnily enough, this describes not just Communism but also Capitalism when left unchecked. To get back to the subject however, the companies which become global forces to be reckoned with are the ones which put in place systems which make work fun by taking away all the barriers stopping those within their workforce from working at their best.

The list here is far from exhaustive and it cuts across all industry sectors:
The John Lewis Partnership
Google
Gore Tex Associates
Starbucks (in its regenerated form)
IBM
Coca Cola
HSBC
Virgin
Toyota
Sony
Nokia
Microsoft

Companies like these do not just hire people, they hire so many people that it is next to impossible to hire ‘the best of the best of the best’ so they cannot rely for their success on the qualities, abilities and well-meaning intentions of those they bring in. So they do the next best thing: they create a culture which helps elevate those working for them, training them for their job, empowering them in their roles, removing obstacles in their work as these arise (which is what managers predominantly do) and creating, in short, the kind of work environment which allows those who work for them to bloom, develop and prosper. As a result the company also profits handsomely.

Society can learn from businesses

Now let’s take this model and apply it to society. The number of countries which even approach it, which have elevated work to the level of art and social calling rather than sheer necessity are also the ones which are part of the world’s top global economies. Even within them, as evidenced by the Times article study, above, there are inconsistencies which are leading to inequalities which are throwing the mechanism out of kilter.

Money and the ability to make it has to be an intrinsic part of any just, balanced and viable social system.

Two questions remain here? Do I propose a solution and what has this got to do with SEO and online marketing (the subjects I predominantly cover here). The solution is not easy but, to me at least, it is obvious. Create social environments where obstacles to work are non-existent (the result will be greater opportunities, more employment and greater incentives to work) and in which stress induced by difficulties is mitigated by a system which does not place additional stress on the individual.

When I suggest this I am accused of being a “bleeding heart liberal” a closet Communist and a socialist in the making. I am none of these. I am a rationalist. I defy anyone to come up with a better, rational solution (if they do I will accept it). The naysayers also point out that such systems are taken advantage of by those within so as not to do work. Again, this is part of creating a culture, which means educating those within the system (and we ‘educate’ pretty well when it comes to promoting a message of rugged individual values within western democracies). Gore Tex Associates, for instance, hire people and never tell them what to do (it’s up to you as a member of the company to discover how you can contribute to what it does).

Social media changes things

Now for the question what does all this have to do with SEO and online marketing? Nothing per se, yet they are also linked. SEO is the application of rules of visibility across the web designed to help websites and web content of value to be discovered.

Online marketing (and social media marketing is a crucial part of it) creates, generates, and perpetuates practices and approaches which also impact upon the way we interact with one another on the web and this, in turn, affects the way we learn to work online, treat each other online and approach common issues, online.

In short, social media, has the ability to change everything by bringing into the equation greater transparency, accountability, collective bargaining power, greater voice for the individual and more control. Funnily enough, these have been the very things demanded by a ‘working class’ across the centuries which saw work evolve from something manual done in a field for the lord of the manor to something intellectual created through a computer.

Social media has been the force behind the Arab Spring and the Occupy Wall Street movement. It is the force behind what we call the socialisation of business. I believe change starts in small ways. With a thought and the ability to share it. This, here, is mine.

Warmer Hands Naturally! Ten Easy Free Tips Help Cold Hands

Ten easy free tips on how to increase hand warmth naturally, from Sound Feelings. We offer this free cold hands information as self-improvement remedies and secrets to help bad circulation, shallow breathing and stress. These symptoms are known factors of freezing cold hands. Instead of the typical coping techniques of mittens and gloves, unique solutions are suggested. These include physical therapy, nutritional supplements, relaxation and affirmations. Say goodbye to freezing hands! See also: poor circulation, cold hands therapies, cold hands treatments, cold fingers.

The following tips are intended for pianists but are applicable to anyone who has the problem of cold hands.

Heatbands

^tm are the BEST handwarmers. They work by trapping a layer of still air between the material and the skin while reflecting heat back to the wearer. This helps keep the blood flowing into the fingers warm. They do not need batteries or an electricity supply.

1 Keep Your Neck and Wrists Covered if you Have Cold Hands.

Primary blood vessels come close to the surface of the skin in the neck and wrists. If you keep these areas protected from the air, less heat will escape and will help prevent cold hands.

2 With Cold Hands, Try to Avoid:

tight clothing, smoking, drafts, the wrong calcium supplements and margarine. Tight clothing restricts the blood flow into the extremities. Smoking, of course is known to clog arteries. Drafts affect people sensitive to cold much worse than others. Dolomite or “elemental calcium” can clog blood vessels. “Organic” calcium like bone meal or oyster shell does not do this. Margarine, contrary to popular belief, cannot be absorbed or digested easily into the body. As a result it tends to leave a residue in the arteries which can cause arteriosclerosis, resulting in poor circulation. Also, never eat “hydrogenated vegetable oil” which is the same thing as margarine!

3 Use Exercise or Physical Therapy for Cold Hands.

Three exercise movements are helpful for cold hands. (A) While you are standing, rotate the shoulders forward, up and back in a circular motion for about 30 seconds. (B) Rotate the wrists in both directions for a total of 30 seconds. (C) Make a fist without digging the nails into your palm. (The final joint of your fingers is not bent.) Alternatively tense and relax the hands in this position for about 30 seconds.

4 Supplement Your Diet.

All of the following supplements are known to be helpful to improve circulation and cold hands. Many of them complement one another because they work in different ways. You can find many of the items in health food stores: ginger, fennel, cayenne, potassium, niacin, iron, vitamin B, vitamin C, vitamin E, lecithin, Ginkgo Biloba, apple cider vinegar, distilled water, lemon juice in hot distilled water. (Lemon juice in hot distilled water will have an amazing effect on cleansing your liver which is the “heat producer” for your body.) Also if you’re trying to avoid meat for whatever reason, this could be contributing to the problem! Some people just need to eat meat once in a while. Don’t be fanatical. Please allow about 30 days to see if any dietary changes have helped the situation. Also, most people develop a lining of old “mucoid plaque” in their intestines. People who have cold hands tend to have more of this layer than others. The supplements that you want to absorb through your small intestine cannot be absorbed very well if you have this layer of old material. You will see a direct connection in your hand warmth and the removal of old mucoid plaque in your intestines.

Here’s

what you can do about it.

Herb teas that are warming: sarsparilla root, fenugreek.

5 Remove Fear.

The most extreme fear response is called the “fight or flight syndrome.” This is when our adrenal glands produce adrenaline and our physical reactions change. These physical symptoms include cold hands, sweaty or shaky hands, rapid heart beat, shallow breathing, disorientation, misperception of time, upset stomach, dry mouth, memory lapse and others. This response is named for our reaction to a predator at our cave door during our supposed prehistoric days, to fight or to flee the danger. The adrenaline is nature’s way of giving us the extra quickness of mind and body to make a life or death decision very fast. The down side is that this leaves the body somewhat worn out and tense. Some sensitive people have a tendency to live their whole life in a quasi-fear state so that they are always walking around feeling anxious. As a result, they are constantly experiencing subtle aspects of the fight or flight symptoms, even though they are not conscious of any impending danger. It almost becomes a habit or an addiction. This person’s personality is what one might call a “fear personality.” The solution is to gradually lessen or remove the fear. There are many methods of reducing fear, including psychotherapy, hypnosis, affirmations or plain old willpower.

6 Breathe Deeper.

People with cold hands tend to breathe shallow. Be aware of your breath and occasionally practice deep breathing. Eventually this will become automatic so that you won’t have to think about it. Consider this: the more deeply you breathe, the more oxygen you bring into your system. This oxygen is transferred from the lungs into the bloodstream and it is responsible for the transfer of heat throughout the body. The more oxygen you receive, the warmer you will be.

7 Practice Affirmations.

Affirmations are a way to actually reprogram your subconscious mind. Believe it or not, saying “I have warm hands” to yourself can have a profound effect, if you do it right. First of all, create the statement so that it makes sense to you. (“My hands are warm, Heat comes from my hands, I embrace life with abandon, etc.”) Affirmations only work when you engage your emotions. You must be in a joyful state and you must believe it. If you have doubt or you are negative, it won’t work. Some people repeatedly say or write affirmations in the morning, evening, or at various times throughout the day. Because affirmations are a tool to create a new reality, do not get discouraged while you are currently playing out your previously-created reality. Allow for an overlap of realities with patience.

8 Reduce Stress.

Many people have a healthy stress response. After the stressful event, they move on. But most of us tend to develop cumulative stress that builds and builds. This cumulative stress affects each person differently. Every illness in the world can be attributed to stress. Sometimes the tension is felt literally in the muscles of the body which has a sympathetic influence on the blood vessels. In other words, they constrict over time. With stress reduction techniques, the blood vessels can dilate back to their correct size. There are many different methods of stress reduction. Do some research and find one that seems suitable to your lifestyle.

9 See A Chiropractor.

Although it may sound weird to most people, consider going to a chiropractor. Even if you don’t have back pain, your spine may be out of alignment, which can affect the proper functioning of your liver and other internal organs, because the spinal cord provides the neural nourishment to each organ. Your liver, among other things, is kind of like the ”heat producer” for the body. Think of watering your plants with a hose and the hose becomes kinked and the water won’t come out. That is what could be happening with your liver and it is not working right, as if someone turned off the switch. A chiropractor can detect this and set it right in one visit.

10 In the Meantime, Do Whatever is Necessary.

Until the above suggestions provide a more permanent solution to cold hands, you still should do what it takes to keep your hands warm. This could include the obvious gloves and mittens to the less obvious warming creams, glove warmers and

other devices

. Also, before you need to play the piano try immersing your hands and forearms into the sink filled with warm water for one minute.

Best wishes to you and keep me posted on your success!

Hand Warmers by Grabber Mycoal. INSTANT HEAT that lasts 5 hours or more. Clean, Safe, Odorless, Dry & Non-Toxic Heat Source. Just open package and expose to air. Two warmers to a package. Good to have ready in an emergency. Designed to fit in gloves and pockets. Operates at an average temperature of 135°. 100% guaranteed for effectiveness. They operate on a chemical reaction with air that is similar to rusting. The ingredients are: iron, water, cellulose, vermiculite, activated carbon and salt. The heating process takes place in this fashion: The iron in the pouch, when exposed to oxygen, oxidizes and therefore produces heat. When iron oxidizes it produces iron oxide, more commonly referred to as rust. The salt acts as a catalyst. The carbon helps disperse the heat. The vermiculite is used as an insulator for the purpose of retaining heat and the cellulose is added as a filler. All these ingredients are surrounded by a polypropylene bag. Polypropylene allows air to permeate the ingredients while holding in moisture.
